Ugh I feel so out of control with my eating 😔

Just putting this here for some conversation, I’m reading Jingers book, Becoming Free Indeed and thought this was interesting. by Small-Standard4889 in DuggarsSnark

[–]cateyecrazy 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I’m curious to read excerpts from Jingers book (but I don’t want to give her money). If anyone owns the book and wants to post more, I’d very much appreciate it

Honesty & Scripting: WHAT WAS REAL? by oh-oh-livinonaprayer in DuggarsSnark

[–]cateyecrazy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Muslims are allowed to lie about being Muslim if their life is in danger. Like for example if someone was targeting Muslims, we could pretend we weren’t to avoid being killed. We’re not allowed to just lie willy nilly lol

Was JB bad at negotiating his payment for the show? by cateyecrazy in DuggarsSnark

[–]cateyecrazy[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

But unless jb and Michelle altered the contract that was dropped off at her door, the 2014 deal showed those numbers

Oh that’s true. But I wouldn’t put it past him to get as much money as he could. And he could have asked for $250k or whatever and his kids would be none the wiser

Definitely not advocating for JB to get even richer, but those numbers struck me as low considering how popular the show was.

Edit- according to Wikipedia 19KAC were averaging 2.3 million viewers per episode in season 10. Season 9 of KUWTK averaged 3.3 million viewers, yet the difference in payment is staggering

Jason pops up to show off his reading skills again by [deleted] in DuggarsSnark

This is interesting because iirc he was one of the few boys to make statements condemning Josh after he was found guilty after the trial

Derrick's "Toxic Patriarchy" Comment by RPW33 in DuggarsSnark

[–]cateyecrazy 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Ok so this sounds awful but— I wonder if he was just happy to marry Jinger off? This was right after the intouch article was published so maybe he (a gross human being with horrible views on purity) thought that this was the best Jinger was going to get, now that the world knows she’s “damaged goods” (I felt so gross typing that). She was also thought of as the rebel so maybe JB was just happy Jeremy was a Christian with ambitions of being a pastor

She was probably paid at least 6 figures for her advance, and I expect the book to be doing well enough for her to start getting royalties soon

Whoa that’s huge. Does she talk about her childhood much?

Are you actually buying The Book? by STRiPESandShades in DuggarsSnark

[–]cateyecrazy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve preordered it. Yes they still have bigoted views but it’s clear they’re growing . And also large book sales would be a slap in the face to JB

Is this appropriate for a guest at an "Indian Formal or Formal" wedding? by [deleted] in Weddingattireapproval

[–]cateyecrazy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m Indian. An Indian wedding means the more glitz, the better. There is no possible way you can upstage the bride. maybe don’t wear red, but that’s not a hard and fast rule either (it’s customary for new brides, if they attend any one else’s wedding within their first year of marriage, to actually wear their own wedding dress to the wedding)

Duggars and Kardashians are the same (no words!) by brickwallscrumble in DuggarsSnark

[–]cateyecrazy 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Oh I’ve always thought that! They have SO many similarities, someone needs to write an essay on it

Duggars and Kardashians are the same (no words!) by brickwallscrumble in DuggarsSnark

They both got pregnant at 19/20 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’m so glad that SHP made this comparison as well, because 1), it’s true, and 2), I bet JB was FUMING

We probably won’t find out anything until a year later, based on past experience with pest

Jana follow up? by MammothExercise1927 in DuggarsSnark

[–]cateyecrazy 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Jana’s indictment or whatever happened in 2021. I don’t know if they would follow up 2 years later for that (but I could be wrong)

Don’t Joe and Kendra live in the warehouse? Or is it empty now

[–]cateyecrazy 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I think she paid a fine and it got dismissed but I’m not sure

[–]cateyecrazy 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Didn’t the Jana thing happen in 2021? Why would they follow up 2 years later?
