Jill Dillard: "They're used to exploiting women."
In an interview with Fox News host Megyn Kelly that ran on Friday, two of the Duggar daughters who were victims of their brother’s inappropriate sexual touching called out the magazine that illegally released the records that not only revealed the identity of their brother Josh (who was a juvenile at the time), but also indirectly identified the victims.
Jill Dillard, the second daughter of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, told Kelly that she suspected there might be an agenda behind the story. “I mean, I know that the tabloids that released this, even have — you know, they’re used to exploiting women. They have the parent company –”
“Well, Bauer…they’re a major porn provider…” her sister Jessa Seewald interrupted.
“So I don’t know if they are — maybe their mindset, they’re just used to making objects out of women and maybe we just didn’t seem any different,” Seewald continued.
Jill and Jessa are members of the conservative Christian family that has been featured in the reality TV series 19 Kids and Counting, and the young women are spot on about the background of the company that publishes In Touch magazine.
Bauer Media Group, based in Hamburg, Germany, publishes 600 magazines, over 400 digital products, and 50 radio and TV stations around the world, including In Touch magazine, the publication that uncovered the story of the abuse in the Duggar home. They also traffic in porn — some of it Nazi-themed., as you’ll see on the next page.
The Wrap reported in 2013:
But an investigation by TheWrap has found that there is a darker side to the privately held company, including publication of at least one magazine appealing to neo-Nazis, as well as significant involvement in the distribution of pornography — including Nazi-themed porn movies.
These lend perspective to Bauer’s legal woes in the United States, including a $50 million defamation lawsuit by Tom Cruise, filed last October after two U.S.-based publications alleged he’d abandoned his daughter Suri. In fact, Bauer generates dozens of legal complaints worldwide each year about invasion of privacy or libel, according to a lawyer who has frequently opposed them.
The Duggar sisters are absolutely correct. In Touch and Bauer Media Group make money, in part, by exploiting women and trafficking in content that sexually objectifies women. The young women in the Duggar family who were victims of sexual abuse by their brother were victimized a second time by a magazine that treated them, not as accidental collateral damage in their honest efforts to report a legitimate news story, but as an integral part of a business model based on sexual exploitation of women. They exploited the sexual abuse suffered by the Duggar sisters for money, pure and simple. And they’ve done it with countless other women over the years. Disgusting.
David Waller is the very effeminate brother in law to Anna Duggar and a big up at Gothard’s org.
Yeah I checked out the website. He looks like a fruitcake.
What question were you answering?
Mine was pretty simple:
Is it normal for 15 year old boys to confess to their fathers anything wrong that they do?
You are an asshat. It’s not normal for any child to do that which makes the story of Josh doing it all the more suspect.
Go back to watching Duggar reruns.
It may be more of a normative action in their Gothard cult for a 15 year old to confess.
But I’m not sure if the confession at 15 was from Josh or the if it was the 5 year old that told on him. The police report doesn’t have pronouns and Jim Bob has lied about so much there is just no way of knowing if Josh confessed.
I answered your question and presumed you would answer mine, which was very simple and precise. I was wrong. I will learn to not waste my time in the future.
The story is true, so gives a F who digged it up. Shoulds they have covered it up instead? Sound like the Duggars are peeved their gravy train has been shut down. Boo boo hoo, get real jobs.
Lev_19:16 Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people:
People are just making stuff up all over FR site. See my post 168. Josh didn’t get off home free. He just had his record expunged.
I can understand the snicker. I posted it trying to get at least one snicker out of it.
Between the hostilities on the Duggar and Waco threads I see FR being ripe for a massive purge in about 10-12 months when the primaries heat up.
I feel like I did answer your question. Within the Gothard cult that Josh was raised in, confessing would be a more normative behavior for a 15 year old. My opinion is based on people I knew within the cult and what I have heard the Duggars say. They are trained from a very young age to do that.
i am defending them because I am a father, a son and a pastor. I am defending them because of the enormous pain they went through dealing with this horror. I am defending them because they were committed to saving their children, not throwing them to the raving dogs who even now only see red meat.
Life is a juggernaut. We cannot always get on or off at will.
Bullshit Olivia
They have never condoned it
Good lord
Defend your disdain for the Duggars with facts you can demonstrate
Yes
Like a Waco thread
Your post mimics where I am
I have issues with the Duggars....not how many kids they have
But I now have bigger issues with the orchestrated take down by the gay media and the incessant piling on by libtards and others
And the hatred for Christians
I find myself oddly. ...more sympathetic to the family especially after studying the interview with the daughters
I apologize to my friends here who think I’ve gone crazy but I think I can thread a needle between bad perv Josh and kooky family and our cultures enemies having a field day on their bones
I do still wonder where Josh got these sick impulses
Classic freeper arguing 101....then they do an end zone twerk jig declaring victory
Clinton sure as hell did have his poontang hand delivered by state troopers
Hell some of the gals he just nailed them in the back seat while the trooper waited ....
He was a bad boy...and recently he did Sex Island with underaged girls
And his fatass wife is running for president
And the media won’t touch that news
But are beating the hapless Duggars into next year
At this point my ire about Josh or their oddities has been eclipsed by my anger at the assaults on them by my enemies
Same folks wish their heads on pikes want mine too...for Christian traditional beliefs
I found the girls EXTREMELY BELIEVABLE
As did hardassed social moderate fembot Megyn Kelly who sure does not suffer fools gladly does she
Keith Ablow is an atheist prick who hates that family from jump street
What an arrogant domer
Facts confuse Freepers my man ....you know that
That jackass Keith Ablow....a shrink...MD......kept saying pedophile too
I was like damn fool and you’re a doctor even.....depressing isn’t it?
We’ve lost our language to more than just español
Wow
Very disappointing
