Amy Duggar claims Anna is ‘teaching her kids that abuse is okay’ by not divorcing her disgraced husband Josh
AMY Duggar has slammed her cousin Josh’s wife Anna for staying by his side and “teaching their children that abuse is okay” amid his child pornography scandal.
The Counting On alum has been very vocal regarding the Duggar scandal where Josh was found guilty.
Now Amy, 35, has come for his wife Anna, 33, who has decided to stay by her husband’s side despite the horrific charges.
The reality star took to her TikTok profile on Wednesday to rant about the situation, where she claims that the mother of seven has wrongly taught her children how to deal with “abuse.”
She explained: “Anna you’re showing your daughters that abuse is okay.
“They’re watching your every move. Your sons are learning what’s right and wrong. I’m sure they can kinda figure something’s up.”

Amy continued: “They’re too young to probably know the extent, of course, hopefully, you’re protecting them from that.
“But I don’t know any child that doesn’t look up to their mommy in some way. You’ve got a responsibility to them.
“To really give them love and protection and to show them that enough is enough, that you’re going to stand up and protect them.
She added: “It just hit me like a ton of bricks y’all just a ton of bricks. I mean wow.”

“Kids growing up, they either want to be like their mommy or they want to marry someone like their mom.
“And that can either be really amazing and beautiful or it can be downright destructive,” she closed.
AMY’S OPINION
Amy has not been shy from sharing her opinions regarding her disgraced cousin Josh, who is just days away from receiving his prison sentence.
Earlier this week, the TV personality demanded that Anna divorce the father of her kids in a shocking post.
She took to Instagram to share a throwback photo with Anna from her own wedding to husband Dillon King.
In the snap Amy, in a wedding dress, hugged Anna as they both smiled.
“Anna, I feel for you,” Amy began her lengthy caption.
“No woman wants to be in your shoes. You’re faced with an impossible decision and you’re being surrounded by the wrong kind of support.”
The 35-year-old continued: “You’ve been taught since you were a child that marriage is forever and you prayed for God to send you a partner. You’ve constructed a life and a family with him.
“You didn’t choose any of this, and your kids certainly didn’t either. I’m not coming after you with some sort of tough love thing. This is what’s simply on my heart and I can’t help but to express it…”
The Counting On alum then claimed she read a letter that Anna’s dad wrote in “support” of Josh.
“It’s no wonder you’re struggling to know what to do to protect your own kids,” Amy said.
“… I need you to understand that there is no shame in divorcing Josh…”
She continued: “Someday your kids will be old enough to understand what kind of guy their father really is. You can’t protect them from the truth for forever!”
Anna, 33, and Josh share seven kids ranging from six months to 12 years old.
“Your children look up to you so much. Please be the role model they need in their life,” the former reality star wrote.
She concluded: “Josh has chosen how history will remember him. By staying and supporting him you’re allowing him to choose that for you, too.

“The only people you would upset by leaving are the ones willing to sacrifice you and your children’s safety to protect Josh and his secrets.”
