Jinger Duggar is often credited with being the one member of the Duggar clan who’s willing to rebel against her parents’ draconian rules, and it’s not hard to see why.
Unlike the other women in her family, Jinger wears pants in defiance of her family’s dress code; she married a guy who her father’s not crazy about, and then she really flipped the bird by moving out of state against Jim Bob’s wishes.
It’s only a matter of time before Jinger dyes her hair black and starts listening to The Cure, or whatever rebellious early-20-somethings do nowadays.
But it’s important to remember that for all of her innocuous acts of defiance, Jinger still enjoyed a very privileged and unimaginably sheltered upbringing.
As a result, she’s more than a little out of touch, and despite her best efforts to rebrand herself as a woman of the modern world, the 23-year-old can’t help but occasionally remind viewers that she grew up rich AF and only interacted with her parents and siblings.
Take Jinger’s latest Instagram upload, for example.
Seems innocent enough, right?
It’s just a photo of her husband, Jeremy Vuolo, standing in an empty movie theater.
But it’s the timing and the caption of the pic that have fans up in arms:
“Apparently the theater is not ‘the place to be’ on a Monday afternoon…good thing we got here early????” Jinger wrote.
Yes, Jinger and Jeremy went to the movies on a random non-holiday Monday and were shocked to find they were the only ones in the theater.
That’s like asking for a truffle and goldleaf footlong at Subway and being shocked when your sandwich artist doesn’t immediately offer to pair it with a nice malbec.
Not surprisingly, fans went off on Jinger in the comments.Jinger in the comments.
“Ummm perhaps 95% of people are working???” wrote follower, adding multiple question marks so that you know she’s serious.
“Most people have jobs not tv shows that make them money,” commented a second Bernie Sanders supporter.
We’d like to add our voice to the chorus and proclaim that Jinger’s actions are appalling–but not for the reason everyone else thinks.
Sure, Jinger conveyed exactly how tone deaf and out of touch she is by dropping a “Didja ever notice movie theaters are always empty during the workday?” gag like she’s the forgotten love child of Paris Hilton and Jerry Seinfeld.Jinger conveyed exactly how tone deaf and out of touch she is by dropping a “Didja ever notice movie theaters are always empty during the workday?” gag like she’s the forgotten love child of Paris Hilton and Jerry Seinfeld.
But the real travesty here is that you know Jinger and Jeremy weren’t at the theater to see something cool like Bladerunner 2049, and instead they shelled out for the leatest Kirk Cameron screed about how Jesus thinks all lives matter, or some such BS.
It’s 2017, Jinger.
We know your husband probably wouldn’ty be cool with you staying home to binge-watch The Handmaid’s Tale, but you can still step up your pop culture consumption game.
