‘I Know I’m Hurting’: Jill Duggar Tears Up In Trailer For TLC’s New Sisters Special (Video)
Jill Duggar cries in the just-released trailer for TLC’s special. Is this an attempt to test the waters for a new Duggar family series?
In December TLC will air the first in a series of three specials featuring Jill Duggar (photo) and sister Jessa, along with their husbands and families.
TLC isn’t holding back on the emotional angle, showing a crying Jill wiping the tears from her eyes.
“The whole world was shocked,” Jill says, presumably of the news about her brother Josh Duggar sexually molesting five young girls, including several of his sisters. “You’re angry and hurt and all those emotions all mixed together. I cry a lot of tears. I still do. I know I’m hurting.”
Josh’s indiscretions included two Ashley Madison accounts, an admission of an “addiction” to Internet porn, along with adulterous affairs. There are plenty of other reports about other dating and Facebook accounts, rough sex with strippers, etc. – all while he was the head of Family Research Council Action, the political arm of Tony Perkins‘ anti-gay hate group.
“The three-part special, Jill & Jessa: Counting On, will follow the sisters as they cope with Josh’s problems and move on with their respective lives,” UPI reports. “Counting On will also document Jill’s mission trip and Jessa’s first pregnancy.”
That mission trip has been called into question as a fundraising opportunity after supporters were shocked to learn Jill and her husband, Derick Dillard, did not qualify to be missionaries by the Southern Baptist Convention.
