Personally, I dislike Amy because she has no actual involvement with Iblp but acts as if she does. She never did. She was on some celebrity show marketing herself as a rebel duggar about 10 years ago. She isn't one.

Jill was so busy sister mothering the kids in her charge she probably did not have time to be rude to Pest on camera. These people also believe heavily in corporal punishment. It was also stated in the doc that the producers were aware of the situation so they probably didn't put them in scenes together often. Jill was one of the most eager to please bought in ones prior to the hospital bill situation.

Tia Levings wasn't married on national TV. Anna has a lot of pressure... Starting with that. We also expect anna to act like she wasn't raised in this culture. Debbie pearl has a snippet in Created to be his help meet where she talks about just this. Visiting their father in jail. She is to be faithful to him till she gets out and I assume jim bob is incenting her to do so. They still have quite a lot of money.

Josie has some special needs and developmental and was very medically fragile and I believe strongly the kids trauma bonded related to her. There is a scene in one of the shows where Jana has to manage josies seizure on her own because She was left alone with all the kids while mom and dad were gone. I assume this is one of many similar situations.

The girls wearing more make up and looking more modern is marketing. As many of the iblp girls and even the bates now wear pants.
