Amy Duggar has always been known as “the rebellious Duggar,” but while she’s butted heads with her strict Uncle Jim Bob many times in the past, her latest business venture could be her biggest act of defiance to date.
Recently, several media outlets reported that Amy and husband Dillon King were filming scenes for an unspecified project in California.
Amy confirmed the news with an Instagram selfie, taken in SoCal and captioned, “#filming.”
Obviously, the Duggars film their TLC series in Arkansas, so the location raised a lot of eyebrows.
Clearly Amy and Dillon weren’t shooting scenes for Counting On, and even if the network gave them their own spinoff, it would probably shoot in Arkansas so that Amy’s more famous cousins could participate.
So what were the Kings doing in Los Angeles, and why did they have a camera crew with them?
Well, there’s reason to believe that Amy and Dillon decided to branch out on their own by filming a season of Couples Therapy for VH1.
Dillon posted the above photo earlier this week, along with a caption reading:
“Headed back home! LA was good to us but were ready to be back on AR soil @amyrachelleking #offset #home #goodtimes #safetravel”
Interestingly, Mob Wives star Renee Graziano commented on the pic wishing Amy and Dillon a safe flight.
So the Kings spent a full five weeks filming in LA, and they happen to make friends with another reality star.
You can see why fans think it’s no accident that their trip happened to coincide with the Couples Therapy filming schedule.
Of course, if you’ve seen Dr. Jenn Mann’s celebrity therapy-fest, you know it features some deeply troubled couples.
So does this mean the Kings are having trouble already?
Amy and Dillon just got married last year, and there haven’t been any reports of problems.
Of course, it’s worth noting that there have been rumors that Dillon is in massive debt, so he and Amy may have participated for purely financial reasons.
