If you go back and watch the first episodes they are so different. They had handmade dresses, they all matched, and just simple simple. I did when I was pregnant. That was back when some of the kids still had light in their eyes and Michelle sort of still new her kids.

The short answer is 100% after. Joy was the youngest victim so by the time the show was a special it had already been covered up by a couple of years. I have been following this scandal for many years so I can speak on this. The first person to speak out did so (it was a church member) before the very first TLC special was picked up. The police reports date to before they got picked up as a regular show. Someone leaked the info about the coverup to the Fundie world and it was picked up by what used to be called Television without pity and is now Previously TV and Free Jinger years ago. In the early days when they only had a 14 and counting type special that added on as Michelle got pregnant they were supposed to go on Oprah and someone sent her the info and they backed out. Josh abused these children around 2001-2002. The church dealt with it in 01 or 02. Then the person leaked it and JB was forced to take Josh into the police station in 02. JB never would have had it not been leaked. The show got picked up for its first episode (14 and and whatever) in 05. In 06 a letter about the abuse was leaked. In 06 local police interview the kids about the abuse. 07 is when the abuse allegations hit the internet (I was pregnant then and remember reading them when I had insomnia).

Jesslfar so in 07 it hit the internet, but I feel like it didn't go mainstream until sometime the last few years. The other show TLC picked up, The Putmans, is about a family not far from me. Another huge family, blah, blah. Anyway, when the show was picked up after the initial special they was a lot of outcry from community members. People were stating they are just like the Duggars and their dirty little secrets will come out too. I'm here for it. My sister worked with the one brother and said he's fairly normal.

It did not hit a major media outlet until around 2015. That is when the police reports were uncovered. Until that point TLC and the Duggars hid it. I know the dates of when this one hit because I had just had a baby so it went down around May or June of 2015. The thing about the Duggars is even back in 07 there were reports from within Fundieworld that they were lying on camera about who they were and Michelle was not a part of their daily lives. The Bates family is the same size, but the real deal and you can see how different the kids act around their parents.

The girls have different faces, but are all required to have long hair and curl it because the creepy cult leader liked it that way.

I have sideswept bangs and every time I let my hair curl, I feel like I’m looking quite Duggerish and have to put it up.

I feel like John David and Jana are never getting married and out of the big house. John David moved out. He has his tow truck company and flips houses and stuff. He is also the pilot who likes to take Josh to his rehab and stuff.he supposedly has a secret girl friend in Texas but who knows. ETA: idk where he lives. Conflicting reports. But he does own a home. Just not sure if he lives there or only leases it out.

He is one of the few kids who can support himself without the show and rumor has had it for a year or two he has been dating on the DL. I could very much see Jana and JD being burned out on having kids and not needing a family of them own but if they married anyone in their social scene they would be expected to.

I had a newborn so since I know your date it must have been the 18-20something of May 2015. I remember hate commenting with a few day old in the middle of the night.

She was all “This is soooo hard! I have to budget and have no idea. My parents do this. I also have to watch my kids all the time by myself. It’s impossible.” Me: ...

To be fair the area she had to move too is not great, so they probably stayed home a lot. Though I agree it was like, "omg I have all these kids and no help." Yeah that's how most people do it. I'm honestly shocked that all of their spouses agreed to the living arrangement. Andplusalso, when they moved out they acted like somebody died. Oh, and then they dropped the possibility of moving to Ohio for his next step of school and that was not well received.

They all kinda “fell” into his arrangement (allegedly) and there ARE perks (the chiiiiiiiiildcaaaaaaare) but I lost interest after that episode. Maybe I’ll try again!
