I'm betting that Jim Bob Duggar, Duggar patriarch, is having significant hissy fits behinds the scenes right now. Why? Since his daughter Jill's husband, Derick Dillard, he of the missionary-begging, the surgery on his teeth and jaw along with first Duggar son in law is tweeting out he's not getting paid a dime out of TLC, but someone (Jim Bob) is.
You should observe the dance I must do to score sufficient bars on my mobile phone to access the net from my new house while waiting for a win install. I have to have on a kitchen stool, hold my sacred cell telephone number from the kitchen window and also pray for bars. That's the highjinks I had to do to remain conscious of Derick's flying faux pas.
We knew eventually somebody from the Duggar bunch would return to puncture the family facade. When I was a gambling grandma I'd have put money on it being one of those younger or middle boys coming out as gay and outing the household secrets in a tell all book after being black balled by the household. Knew it would not be Josh because he has certainly had that opportunity in the wake of the various scandals rather than taken it. The synonymous younger men didn't do it however, it's Derick Dillard Is No Longer On Counting On to the lovers on his Twitter account.
One thing you can count on with Derick Dillard on his Twitter account along with other social media is that individuals will strike him because he and Jill began asking for donations because of their mission trips to Central America. The attacks have intensified once Derick started taking cover pot shots at the star of TLC's other series, Jazz Jennings of'I Am Jazz'
But in the past week Derick started spilling some very toxic surprising tea -- he claims that both he and Jill do not get paid for appearing on'Counting On'. He's maintained that they are'volunteers' about the TLC show. Derick never directly addresses who gets paid, but what he's saying appears to point to the fact that the only one getting angry bank from TLC for the series is that doofy Pater Familias Jim Bob Duggar.
Screen cap from the Hollywood Gossip. Since saying these things Derick has deleted those tweets and all the ones he left whining about TLC refusing to pony up any dough to cover his son Sam's birth along with also the many medical expenses from his weeks in the neonatal intensive care unit.
Interestingly enough that is the first real indication we have had that the arrival of Sam wasn't routine, that matters obviously went haywire however hard the Duggars attempted to pretend differently.
Another interesting point is that immediately after Derick tweeted how TLC along with other shows exploit kids he had been unfollowed on social media by Duggar buddies the Bates household and several other people from the larger circle of Duggar pals. Wonder how fast Jim Bob called Derick on the carpet for his rash yelling?
Will Derick be the one to rip down the Duggar family and finish the series?
I will see Jilly-Muffin being overly naive to understand she should be getting a stipend for her appearances on the series. But not Derick. I can't think he voluntarily participated with no paycheck. Unless he's as sheltered and naive as his wife.
Someone is getting paid the roughly 40K per incident the family is reputedly paid. I always assumed the money was banked at a trust for the small Duggar kids, some paid straight to the grownup Duggar kids and some put in the hands of Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar. Guess I was wrong and it's probably every penny went directly into the sexy little mitts of a single Jim Bob. Many states have laws in place protecting small children and placing money in a hope for them that they received for participating. Arkansas has zero laws in place governing the investment and payment of the money of kids, creating this circumstance where Jim Bob makes it all and decides what to do with the cash.
Sounds like dear old daddy may be guilty of financial abuse of his children whether Derick's words are accurate.
Why am I getting visions of a Scrooge McDuck with cable swimming pool at a pool filled with dollars? It also came out that they are active reading their two children's novels written about the evils of socialism and about second amendment rights. Scarier that they are indoctrinating their kids from birth than it is these two are not getting TLC cash.
