Jim Bob & Michelle Duggar Slam Prime Video's 'Shiny Happy People: Duggar Family Secrets' Docu-Series

Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar are breaking their silence on the new docu-series about their family and religion.

Prime Video’s new docu-series titled Shiny Happy People: Duggar Family Secrets will be exposing the truth beneath the wholesome Americana surface of reality TV’s favorite mega-family, The Duggars, and the radical organization behind them: The Institute in Basic Life Principles. As details of the family and their scandals unfold, we realize they’re part of an insidious, much-larger threat already in motion, with democracy itself in peril.

Jim Bob and Michelle‘s daughter Jill Duggar Dillard participated in the docu-series to share her experiences with the family’s strict and religious upbringing.

On Thursday night (June 1), Jim Bob and Michelle shared a statement slamming the docu-series.

“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,” Jim Bob and Michelle wrote on their website. “Like other families, ours too has experienced the joys and heartbreaks of life, just in a very public format.”

“This ‘documentary’ paints so much and so many in a derogatory and sensationalized way because sadly that’s the direction of entertainment these days,” their statement continued.

“We have always believed that the best chance to repair damaged relationships, or to reconcile differences, is through love in a private setting,”Jim Bob and Michelle’s Jim Bob and Michelle added. “We love every member of our family and will continue to do all we can to have a good relationship with each one.”

The statement 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.”

Back in March, it was revealed that Josh Duggar‘s 12-year prison sentence had been extended after he was convicted on child pornography charges.

All four episodes of Shiny Happy People: Duggar Family Secrets are available for streaming on Prime Video now.
