Jill Duggar claims religious dad Jim Bob would 'weaponize' her marriage
Fox News
Jill Duggar Dillard and her husband Derick Dillard opened up about filming the TLC reality show "19 Kids and Counting" and the impact it had on their marriage.
"It definitely got between us," Jill told People magazine about the show and the religion the family followed at the time. "No matter your age, you are to obey your parents wishes, and you even have to ask them for their blessing for any major moment in your life. That could be buying a house, moving to a different state, where to go to school. We were dealing with this a lot when we were trying to make decisions for our family, and we were really wrestling back and forth with it."
Derick explained that Jim Bob would "weaponize" the couple's relationship when they did not want to do what the former Arkansas state representative wanted for the show.
