‘Counting On’ spoilers indicate there has been some shady stuff surrounding the TLC show Counting On. As we all know in 2015 when the show 19 kids and counting was cancelled due to public outcry due to Josh Duggar’s scandal that involved sexually victimizing his sisters came out, we wanted to see nothing of the Duggars, we wanted nothing more than to get this family off our radar, but TLC had other ideas.
Instead of cancelling the Duggars completely and not putting forth any more of their content they decided to rebrand the show, instead of JimBob and Michelle and fam, we would now only be following the two girls, Jill and Jessa, one was getting married, the other was already married and had gotten pregnant.
‘Counting On’ Spoilers: What we didn’t realize is that behind the scenes, nothing about these contracts ever changed.
Instead of the names on the contracts changing hands like it should have, with Jill and Jessa and their new families getting the lion’s share of the money, the contracts were actually left in Jim Bob’s name. You would think, “Well, that’s alright, he’s their Dad he’ll make sure that they’re paid accordingly.”
Man, you must be itching to hear about my ocean front property in Arizona then, musn’t you? Hah, yeah. As it turns out, the only person getting paid for any kind of TLC show involving his family was JimBob Duggar, not the girls.
When they decided that they wanted to be paid accordingly (I mean come on Dad, hospital bills for difficult births don’t pay themselves) they actually had to end up suing their Father and then they could only recover some of the money. They were supposed to get $25K-$45K per episode.
‘Counting On’ Spoilers: I guess that went to a lot of missions, huh JimBob?
This would explain why Jill and Derek had to raise their own funds for their own mission that they were trying to do because her Dad literally would not pay them what was due them . If they had gotten paid accordingly then there probably would not have been a need for a gofundme for a mission trip.
This would also explain why Jessa has 3 kids and only lives in a 2 bedroom house, it’s not fair to Jessa because her Dad flips million dollar properties regularly, it’s not fair to any of the Duggar siblings really, they need contracts in their names and if they are underage they need trusts, so that when they do get older they can have some choice in the way they live their lives.
But I guess Duggars don’t get choices, do they? Stay tuned!!! For any other soap opera and entertainment news, please visit Daily Soap Dish. For more royal and celeb baby news, come back to Celeb Baby Laundry.
