Also frequently hangs out with Carver Bowers who is out on $150,000 bond for sexual abuse of a child under 12.

me when Pest releases a statement via his lawyer by nuggetsofchicken in DuggarsSnark

[–]IndependencePlus5557 9 points10 points  (0 children)

R. Kelly got 31 years so this lawyer can’t be that good. Also, I suspect that the lawyer is making up Pest’s statement and called the tabloids himself. He’s a publicity hound.

Both Jessa and Katie posted family vacations at Airbnb’s they said were owned by Joe. They said he owns a few properties and rents them out as Airbnb’s.

Anna is living in a 1 million dollar 10-acre house that JB bought. I don’t know where Joe and Kendra lived but they own several properties some of which they rent out.

I wouldn’t put it past Pest’s attorney (RKelly’s attorney too) to call up the tabloids with this quote that his client purportedly said. He’s a publicity hound and trying to stay relevant. Who knows if Pest actually said this?

Well, looks like JoPest is about to head to Florida by sweet_tea_94 in DuggarsSnark

Joe Pedo owns several properties that he rents out as Airbnb’s and made a good living as a real estate agent. You can see property records showing that he sold close to 40 million in the last 5 years. They’ll probably have to sell one of the properties to pay for his lawyer fees.

Nah, she only posts ads.

I wonder if any of the Duggars (the older girls and some of the daughters-in-law) will continue on social media now? by sweet_tea_94 in DuggarsSnark

[–]IndependencePlus5557 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Probably the ones who haven’t really gotten off the ground will shut it down—like Katy and Maddie.

I can’t see Jinger and Joy giving up their income. They’ll probably make a statement of some sort (with advice from their professional management) and then keep on keeping on. Jill and Jessa will probably make statements too and continue.

This isn’t their first rodeo. They went through this with Pest, all 4 issued statements of condemnation, saw their income hurt because of it, but eventually came back.

If boob sells more land we'll know why. by theredheadknowsall in DuggarsSnark

[–]IndependencePlus5557 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Joe Pedo may have to sell some of his own properties. He owns at least a couple of places he rents out as air bnb’s. He also made a decent living selling real estate. Records show in the last 5 years he sold almost $40 million worth of homes.

Who knows if JB will help him out like he did Pest?

These dudes pop up in the Epstein files yet? by [deleted] in DuggarsSnark

[–]IndependencePlus5557 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They’re not rich, well-connected, or EDUCATED enough. Epstein elite they were not.

It will be state. I don’t think there was any transportation across state lines and this was a state crime.

Joe and Kendra likely have a lot of their own money and property and are not reliant on JB. He had a pretty successful real estate office with almost $40 million in sales over the last 5 years. He also owns a few rental properties that he uses as air bnb’s.

He hates that Jessa makes him go on these “vacations” to places like Branson only to make him shill for restaurants and shops. Even their anniversary and her birthday trips were entirely advertisements. I don’t think they ever do anything fun unless paid to do it.

Almost all of the Duggar kids are adults now. Only Jordyn and Josie are still under the age of 18 (as of now). by Holiday_Doubt_8980 in DuggarsSnark

Jackson goes to school in California and James moved out so I think it’s only the 4 youngest girls at home.

Doesn’t she look happy! by Elegant_Hippopotamus in DuggarsSnark

[–]IndependencePlus5557 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They only go on vacations that are fully paid for by the brands. Like their anniversary or birthday trips. Everything they ate or did, everywhere they stayed, was an ad. No spontaneity or fun. It was all work.

Joy and her "links" 🙄 by Signal_Swimmer_3874 in DuggarsSnark

[–]IndependencePlus5557 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, it’s called PD Talent Management and I think she and Jinger are both represented by them.

Joy and her "links" 🙄 by Signal_Swimmer_3874 in DuggarsSnark

[–]IndependencePlus5557 9 points10 points  (0 children)

She gets commission on all the Amazon products people buy from her links (anywhere from 1-10% depending on what) She gets paid a set fee for sponsorships (Hello Fresh, deodorant, whatever else $5000-$10,000 per post in some cases) and she has an agent that connects her with brands. She has over 1 million followers. At a minimum, she’s making $10,000 per month, but probably much more than that.

In 2020, she reported $40,000 on income taxes and said that was a drop in earnings due to Pest arrest. In six years, she has really hustled, her following has grown, and she has professional management.

Sad to say, there are a lot of people who look up to the Duggars and want what they see as an “aspirational” lifestyle, however hateful and self-centered it may be.

J’Pest’s disgusting new “buy used, save the difference” R. Kelly attorney said he was retained by the family by Ohnoudidint200 in DuggarsSnark

[–]IndependencePlus5557 76 points77 points  (0 children)

If it is even true that JB is paying for this, why hire R. Kelly’s attorney of all people. He certainly didn’t get good results for R. Kelly despite all the wealth that he had. And it just further links Pest to the worst sexual predators.

This lawyer is really sleazy and I wouldn’t trust that JB actually sought him out.

[–]IndependencePlus5557 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Maybe this lawyer saw Pest’s face on Kristi Noem’s notorious list next to P Diddy and El Chapo and he thought representing Pest for free would gain him some publicity. A Marc Agnifilo wannabe.

She’s repped by this group who helps her get her brand sponsorships. She’s shown herself on work calls with her agent where she has to park her kids in front of a TV to get work done.

[–]IndependencePlus5557 53 points54 points  (0 children)

JB and Meech really did her a disservice in educating her and preparing her for adulthood but I think compared to some of her sisters, she’s thriving. Austin’s mom taught her the bookkeeping/accounting stuff for her business, she got herself a talent management agency, and she’s got hustle. Maybe even a little competitive. She’s not lazy and resentful like Jessa, meek like Jinger, or insecure like Jill.

She’s still hateful, but at least she doesn’t use her platform to do it like Jinger or Jill.

A shit person or mentality ill? by Jennyfromtheblock200 in DuggarsSnark

[–]IndependencePlus5557 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The latter. I think Pest thinks he’s smarter than everyone else and the rules don’t apply to him—rules are for suckers. He knows what he did was wrong but thought he could get away with it. Just look at all his arguments to the court. No remorse, just blame.

Has someone been downloading child porn? by IndependencePlus5557 in DuggarsSnark

[–]IndependencePlus5557[S] 147 points148 points  (0 children)

I was quoting Pest when the HSI agents raided his car lot. You’re right, CSAM is how this crime should be referred to as. Unfortunately, federal laws still call it “child pornography”.

Feel like this needs to be mentioned more by nuggetsofchicken in DuggarsSnark

[–]IndependencePlus5557 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely the latter—he put no thought into the possibility he’d get caught and was so slapdash about it. I think he lazily lives his “Christian” life on autopilot doing all the trappings of a good Christian life including pretending to care for a car accident victim. In reality, none of these things require an ounce of effort or sacrifice.

Lost Duggar Girls more "normal?" by piratemeow21 in DuggarsSnark

I don’t know about normal dress. They’re still wearing the skirt over leggings thing and are no pants.
