So far, Duggar family headsJim BobandMichelle Duggarhavedenounced the program, calling it “derogatory and sensationalized.”
“The recent ‘documentary’ that talks about our family is sad because in it we see the media and those with ill intentions hurting people we love. Like other families, ours too has experienced the joys and heartbreaks of life, just in a very public format,” they said in a statement issued viatheir official website. “This ‘documentary’ paints so much and so many in a derogatory and sensationalized way because sadly that’s the direction of entertainment these days.”
“We have always believed that the best chance to repair damaged relationships, or to reconcile differences, is through love in a private setting. We love every member of our family and will continue to do all we can to have a good relationship with each one,” they concluded. “Through both the triumphs and the trials we have clung to our faith all the more and discovered that through the love and grace of Jesus, we find strength, comfort, and purpose.”

“I wanted to make sure that I could share my story in a comfortable setting for me,” she adds. “The docuseries, I’m sure, will have a lot of interesting points to make about IBLP, and I’m eager to watch it.”
