Jed revealed how the situation “saddened” him, during an October Q&A via YouTube. “It’s a very sensitive spot in our family. Especially with [Josh’s wife] Anna [Duggar], you know, their kiddos, and [we] just try to be there for them as much as we can,” he said.
Additionally, Jinger Duggar is set to release a new book, Becoming Free Indeed: My Story of Disentangling Faith From Fear, in January 2023. The book is a sensitive topic to the Duggars as Jinger, 28, “recounts how she began to question the harmful ideology of her youth and learned to embrace true freedom in Christ,” according to the book’s description.
Just one month before Jinger announced her upcoming memoir, Jed defended the Duggar family amid fans’ claims that they were “brainwashed” by their parents, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar.
Jed’s repsonse came during a Q&A session with fans on his YouTube channel, which he shares with wife Katey Duggar (née Nakatsu), where a follower asked him what is the “biggest misconception” about his family.
“I’m definitely not brainwashed. I have a mind of my own. My dad will even sometimes … We’ll have an argument, disagreements where we’ll just talk things out, and it’s healthy,” in the video, which was posted in October. My dad is a very humble man, my mom as well. She’s just the sweetest thing ever.”
He added, “They aren’t perfect, I know that, but I love them for who they are. And so, I’m really grateful for my parents. The upbringing that I had, of course, it wasn’t perfect, and I think a lot of people are seeing that now.”
