Amy Duggar is raising eyebrows with her candid remarks about cousin Joseph Duggar’s peculiar compliment to his wife, Kendra, during their jailhouse chats. When the calls leaked, Amy, 39, didn't mince words. “You hear this? He called his wife ‘competent’ and she took it as a compliment,” she exclaimed in a TikTok video last Thursday.
In her fiery commentary, Amy highlighted what she sees as a problematic dynamic in Joseph and Kendra's relationship. “Um, last time I checked, marriage isn’t a performance review and she’s not your employee. And she’s not filing paperwork, so what the crap is that?” she quipped, pointing out the oddity of the situation.
“But I think that’s what happens when the bar is set so low. It’s so sad that it seems like she will accept any breadcrumb that comes her way and that means that she’s probably been starving for a very long time,” Amy added, voicing her concerns.
Joseph Duggar, who was arrested on March 18 for child molestation charges, had several of his jail calls with Kendra released to the public. In these recordings, the "19 Kids and Counting" star attempted to lighten the mood by discussing his prison workout regimen. He boasted about his fitness routine, saying, “I’m doing my burn bootcamp-style workout,” while confined to his small cell.
The conversations, however, took a more serious turn as details of Joseph's charges emerged. He was initially booked into the Washington County Jail in Arkansas and later moved to the Bay County Jail in Florida. Though he pleaded not guilty, he faces serious allegations of lewd behavior involving a minor.
The saga took another twist when it was revealed that Kendra played a crucial role in Joseph's release. She transformed their home into a rental property and sold personal items to gather the $600,000 needed for his bail. Kendra herself was arrested shortly after Joseph, facing charges of child endangerment and false imprisonment.
Joseph’s release on March 31 was a temporary reprieve, but the legal battles for the couple are far from over. As the story unfolds, the Duggar family drama remains under the public spotlight, leaving many to wonder what’s next for the embattled pair.
