Duggar Family Shame: Church Members Share Shocking Tales of Abuse
Anyone who’s regularly watched the family’s reality shows knows that the Duggars are a deeply religious lot.
But even the most diehard Duggar fans may not know the details of the belief system that Jim Bob and Michelle have imparted to their children.
The Duggars are Independent Baptists, but they’re also members of the Institute in Basic Life Principles and the Advanced Training Institute, both founded by controversial pastor and former personal guru of the Duggars, Bill Gothard.
Back in 2015, the Josh Duggar sex scandal shined some light on the institute’s teachings and more scandalous practices.
Not only did the organization assist Josh and his parents in evading prosecution, it also justified his misconduct with homeschooling curriculum that places the blame for sexual assault squarely on the victim.
Prior to Gothard resigning in disgrace after being accused of sexual misconduct by more than 50 former employees, he presided over the organization for decades, and – according to many former members – was directly or indirectly involved in countless acts of systemized sexual assault.
Recent revelations about the Duggars and the rise of the #MeToo movement have emboldened several alleged victims to come forward with shocking accounts of the abuse they suffered under Gothard’s watchful eye.
As reported by In Touch Weekly, an anonymous Reddit used was recently at the center of one of the sites “ask me anything” or AMA sessions.
And what she had to say about her time as a member of the IBLP-ATI is likely to shock even the most strident Duggar defenders.
“I was part of a fundamentalist Christian cult known as ATI/IBLP,” the user began.
“Recent scandals have hit the news about the cult leader Bill Gothard when over 50 women came forward with allegations that he sexually harassed them. But that’s only scratching the surface.”
“Let me tell you my scariest experience — and just keep in mind, I’m far from the only one,” she continued.
“First off, throughout my childhood, my father and sisters abused me sexually. Since the cult taught a strict familial hierarchy, with the father being top dog, then mother, then children in order of birth, as the youngest I was bottom of the totem pole.
“My father would twist Bible verses to justify rape, death threats, and more. Because ATI is a homeschool cult, it was really handy to cover up the abuse from any prying eyes.
“My home was a prison for 11 years until he died of a massive heart attack. And that’s not even the scariest experience.”
The user went on to explain how the abuse worsened as a result of her mother’s continued involvement with the IBLP.
“Fast forward two years. I’m 13, with a mother who’s frantically fixated on me being a ‘troubled child’ because 1. I dared resist my father’s advances and argue against the abuse I was suffering, gaining me the reputation of ‘rebellious,’ 2. I’m severely depressed because I’m a freaking rape victim and depression is considered sin, and 3. I asked too many questions as to WHY we believed the things we believed —you don’t ask questions, needless to say.”
She then describes being shipped off to Oklahoma without warning and enrolled in the IBLP’s “Log Cabin” program, which is designed to “retrain” resistant adolescents.
“All I know is I’m about to move to Oklahoma for a while to be fixed by ‘nice counselors’ because I’m a dirty sinner,” she writes.
“For the next two years, I am tortured, brainwashed, starved, sleep-deprived, threatened with a shotgun, punished, humiliated, interrogated, and terrorized.
“I lose 40 pounds in the first month or two. They take me off my medications (believing it is wrong to take them) cold turkey; I exhibit severe symptoms of withdrawal and they go ignored.
“I am worked grueling hours, sent on aimless hikes and marches, scrubbing floors on my hands and knees until my knuckles are cracked and bleeding from the bleach, punished with hard labor until I’m near fainting,” she adds.
“They had fun coming up with new and strange ‘punishments.’”
Through it all, the victim says, she was so brainwashed she didn’t fully realize that those who imprisoned her were engaging in the most egregious forms of abuse.
It wasn’t until years later that she began to become aware that something was deeply wrong with the religion she had been raised in.
“There really wasn’t one concrete ‘oh s–t’ moment,” she explains.
“But the first time I remember thinking ‘this is BS’ was how often people would be ‘sentenced’ to hell for the most trivial reasons. Everything from an impure thought to cursing to sleeping in late.”
Amazingly, despite the high-profile nature of their lives and the zeal with which they discuss their beliefs, the Duggars have managed to avoid commenting on their continued involvement with the IBLP-ATI.
That may prove increasingly difficult as time goes on.
Or the family’s legion of devoted fans may prove willing to continue turning a blind eye to the rampant abuse within the organization.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 8 Episode 13 Recap: Crying Shame
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is at the stage in which it’s running on fumes, and one little shred of drama can be maximized in the edit in order to ramp up the action.
When The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 8 Episode 13 kicked off, we were at a dinner party that found all of the women at odds with each other.
A fight was about to break out, and then we were taken five days before the big event. No, this is not How to Get Away with Murder, but the editing certainly made it seem it was.
We quickly found out that Lisa Rinna (Who is still a cast member, by the way!) and Teddi were having a day to themselves. They were indulging in some pedicures.
That’s when Rinna admitted that things with Dorit were finally on the up and that they bonded over champagne flutes. We kid over that last part, but still, they’re friends!
Then Teddi felt like it was her duty to report back about Dorit and PK trashing Lisa three months before at that big dinner party. Yeah, we’re not sure why three-month-old comments were brought back up, but Teddi needs an ally.
Rinna was quick to point out that she was done listening to all of it because she knew they had said it and she was ready to put the past behind her.
Teddi is an accountability coach, so it made sense that she would want Dorit to take responsibility for her actions. However, bringing up drama that happened months ago seemed like a desperate attempt to hog the camera.
Maybe Teddi is trying to be nice, but she has no idea what show this is. Everything is manipulated, and a narrative is created. Unfortunately, her edit is not coming out like an oil painting.
Aside from that, not much else happened away from the big fight that was teased at the opening of the hour.
When we got to that night, Teddi called up Dorit and asked if they could make their way to the event together so that they could chat about their differences.
That did not go well, and Teddi asked Dorit to keep quiet about their fight because she didn’t want another fight to ruin another dinner party.
Dorit was not ready to agree, and we found out the hard way that she was not ready to pull any punches when it came to the ladies being the presence of each other.
Teddi was made to look like the bad one because she brought it all back up. But talking things out is in Teddi’s nature, so it made sense for her to act that way.
That’s when Teddi struck at Erika because she was playing a game.
“You pretending that it’s full amnesia right now is confusing to me,” said Teddi with a grin.
“No, excuse me, don’t ever say I’m pretending, because I’m not pretending,” Erika barked back.
“I’m telling you the truth, I don’t remember saying that. Don’t ever say that to me again, don’t f— with me like that — you don’t want that. Don’t ever, EVER do that to me.”
Yeah, these ladies are now more fractured than ever, but how long will it be before they all makeup and realize they’ve been fighting for an absurd reason?

Megyn Kelly Basically Encourages Viewers to Shame Fat People
Megyn Kelly would very much like a mulligan.
The NBC anchor claims she really did not mean to sound this week as if she was PRO-fat shaming.
What led some viewers to think Kelly actually held this seemingly ridiculous stance? Well…
During an interview Thursday with fit mom Maria Kang – a mother who is very into fitness and who is best known for her “No Excuses” campaign – Kelly made an eyebrow-raising remark.
And that’s a kind way of putting it.
“You should parlay the shaming thing into a professional business. Because some of us want to be shamed,” said the controversial host to Kang, who was promoting her workout philosophy.
Continued Kelly, sharing some personal history:
“When I was in law school, I was gaining weight, I said to my stepfather, ‘If you see me going into that kitchen one more time, you say, ‘Where you going, fat a–?’
“And it works!”
It’s easy to see how Kelly could have just been trying to make a joke here.
But it’s also easy to see how it could have been interpreted as the encouragement of fat-shaming – since she’s literally explaining that making her feel bad about her body was an effective strategy employed by her family member.
On Friday, facing a great deal of backlash, Kelly clarified her position.
On air, the failing reporter said “would never encourage [body shaming] toward any person,” despite how she may have come across the day before.
“I said something yesterday on the show that clearly struck a nerve, and I think it’s a conversation we need to have openly,” Kelly continued.
“We were discussing body shaming others, something I absolutely do not support. In fact, quite the opposite.”
Kelly then got very candid with viewers.
She explained that her “entire family is or has been overweight or obese.”
She also shared that her sister weighed more than 300 pounds at one point, prior to undergoing gastric bypass surgery, and that when she Kelly was six years old, she came home “in tears” after a neighbor called her mom “fat.”
There’s a history here, she elaborated.
She was simply trying to relay some of it on Thursday in her chat with Kang.
“By the time I got to middle school, the hormones and the weight kicked in. I was chubby by any standard and soon I found myself on the wrong side of some vicious bullies,” Kelly said.
She added:
“Ones who called me fat, and made fun of my backside, who subjected me to humiliating pranks. Those comments can cut deep, trust me, I know.
“Soon there were diet pills and obsessive exercise and I had reduced my calorie intake to 500 calories a day.
“My heart was racing all day, my hair and skin were dry but I was thin. And so unhappy.
“I was scared of gaining weight because of the insane standard this country holds its women to and because I was and remain afraid of dying in my 40s, which happened to my father.”
Kelly has grown and evolved.
She says she tries to eat healthy and is no longer ashamed of her figure.
However, “I still cringe when I hear a person attacked for his or her weight.”
The journalist says she can relate and that’s all she ever meant to imply with her initial comment.
In conclusion:
“Please know, I would never encourage that toward any person. I’ve been thinking a lot about why I once encouraged it toward myself. What I know for sure is that weight is an issue for millions of people, thin and heavy alike.
“And neither deserves to be judged or shamed for how they choose to handle that struggle.”

Keeping Up with the Kardashians Recap: Walk of Shame
Some wounds take a very long time to heal, and some family dynamics are so complicated, they can’t be easily put into a box.
On Keeping Up with the Kardashians Season 14 Episode 3, Kim’s Paris robbery ordeal came back to haunt her in a major way.
Meanwhile, Kourtney Kardashian found herself in a world of trouble when she tried to hide her dating life … but from whom?
If you watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians online, you will see an episode kicking off with Kim getting ready for the Met Gala.
By her side as she preps for this event on Keeping Up with the Kardashians Season 14 Episode 3 are Kylie and Kendall Jenner.
Kylie was focused on showcasing her impossibly curvy figure, and that means making her waist so thin she can’t even breathe.
Seriously. Her words. “I need to kind of suffocate. Like, I need to not be able to breathe like the whole time,” she instructed.
Kylie was also dismayed that her red carpet slot was “so f–king early” and thus not prime time, but Kim had bigger things on her mind.
Much bigger things.
Even after so many years of fame, she was a nervous wreck about this red carpet appearance, saying she was “about to throw up.”
Spoken like a first-timer, she revealed part of her mantra: “I’ll say to myself, ‘Suck my stomach in, arms to the side, chin down.’”
The issue here is that even someone as famous, wealthy and renowned for posing nude as Kim has some serious body issues.
“She’s got a real insecurity problem lately,” Jonathan Cheban said, while Kim added, “That Mexico trip really f–ked me up.”
That was when shady photographers captured Kim Kardashian bikini photos at a most unflattering, cellulite-revealing angle.
Kim said this gave her “body dysmorphia,” and that’s the kind of thing you don’t just snap your fingers and get over on cue.
Kourtney Kardashian thought it was a trigger for something worse, adding, “I think this is just making her think about Paris again.”
According to her older sister, Kim was publicly ridiculed after the robbery, so any scrutiny – even over body issues – is amplified.
Khloe Kardashian agreed, saying that Kim “was just mocked about this traumatic thing that happened to her” and it’s harsh.
We give the Kardashians a hard time for their hashtag First World Problems, but in all seriousness, Kim is still human after all.
You might not think of unflattering press bringing Kim’s past demons to the surface as a big deal, but to her, it is beyind that.
It is all she thinks about.
Meanwhile, Kourtney began a new relationship … with a guy whose name was not revealed, but we have to assume is Younes Bendjima.
She didn’t reveal that, and seemed to try to keep the romance on the DL, but these are the Karadshians. Secrets aren’t easy to keep.
There was no hiding her excitement.
Said Khloe of her older sister’s love:
“It’s so cute to see her this giddy.”
When Kourtney returned home after a night out that went … very well, Khloe (good-naturedly) called her out by calling it what it is:
“Walk of shame, right there.”
Sorry Scott.

The Real Housewives of Potomac Season 2 Episode 11 Recap: The Grand Dame Shame
Did the ladies finally manage to cut the feuding out and enjoy the rest of their lavish trip to Bermuda?
That was their plan on The Real Housewives of Potomac Season 2 Episode 11 as their trip came to a conclusion.
When the episode got underway, Robyn was talking to Ashley and Charisse about how her feelings towards Karen. All three women agreed that she needed to take a chill pill and stop making everything about her.
Charisse decided to take the ladies on a cruise to the high seas. Not everyone was impressed with it because there would be nowhere to run if they started bickering…
… Unless they decided to start throwing one another off the boat. Now that would make for an exciting series.
Karen was shocked to learn that Gizelle and Monique were getting along swimmingly. If you watch The Real Housewives of Potomac online, you will already know that both women had been feuding for weeks on end.
It is refreshing to witness some tranquility amongst the ladies, but we’ll take it when we get it. That tranquility did not last very long.
Charisse decided it would be a good idea to target Karen for leaving some of the ladies out of her trip. Karen offered a lame apology that made the women cringe.
When the going got tough, most of the women sided with Charisse because they agreed it was not a good idea to have some of them iced out of the trip.
When the ladies start bickering about net worth, Karen felt like it was best to bite the bullet and make everything right. This was the push they needed to make everything right.
When the ladies returned home, Robyn went to visit her therapist to keep them up to speed on what happened on the trip. She was glad that she had finally taken some steps to move on.
She even went as far as saying she was ready to divorce Juan. This proved she was ready to go back into the dating pool.
While that was going down, Ashley was shocked to the core to learn that she had been demoted in the restaurant. This put more strain on her marriage with Michael since he was the one who made the decision.
When all that drama was out of the way, the ladies formed a united front to attend Charisse’s unveiling of her celebration room. The women quickly realized that Karen no longer lived in the zip code.
The women then questioned whether Karen was moving because of her financial situation. The women were quick to point out that she was no longer the Grand Dame.
Karen exploded in a fit of rage at Ashley for gossiping about her, and the episode concluded. Something tells us this feud is going to get crazy.
What did you think of all the drama?
Sound off below!

Channing Tatum Pens Heartfelt Tribute to Daughter, Puts All Men to Shame
There are plenty of reasons to love Channing Tatum.
There’s his chiseled jawline. And his abdominal muscles. And those biceps.
And the way he so clearly loves and respects his wife.
Above all, however, there’s Tatum’s view on fatherhood, his overwhelming love for his daughter and the valuable life lessons he wants to pass along to little Everly.
The 37-year old recently wrote an essay for Cosmopolitan in which he thought back to his first meeting with Jenna Dewan Tatum and how he hopes their daughter inherits her mother’s attitude.
“In honor of the launch of Magic Mike Live in Las Vegas, my friends at Cosmo generously invited me to write something for you,” the actor explains to open his post.
He then brings the subject immediately to his four-year old at home:
“The more I thought about this, the more I thought about my daughter reading this article someday. I pictured her in her late teens or early 20s, hoping to explore and discover her sexuality and dreaming about finding true love.”
Continues Tatum, making us adore him more and more with each word:
“I tried to imagine the things I’d want her to read that would help her understand men and sex and partnership better, and at that moment, I realized a strange thing.
“I don’t want her looking to the outside world for answers.
“My highest hope for her is just that she has the fearlessness to always be her authentic self, no matter what she thinks men want her to be.
Channing met Jenna on the set of the film Step Up.
They’ve been together for over a decade.
And you never read a single scandalous story about these two, do you?
“I knew our connection was really powerful, but I wasn’t sure what our relationship was going to be,” Tatum says of first encountering his wife.
“Then one day, Jenna just blurted out that she knew exactly what she wanted in life and she didn’t have to look for it anymore because it was me. She had no idea what I’d say or how I’d react, but that was her truth.
“I remember feeling this incredible rush – it was the sexiest thing she’d ever done for me. I felt strength, because in that moment, she had accepted every part of me, the good and the bad.
“And I knew she wasn’t auditioning me or hoping I’d meet some set of expectations.”
Taum goes on to say it was this quality that made him fall for Jenna (who looks great naked).
“That radical authenticity of hers was what made me fall head over heels in love. Before I experienced it, I wouldn’t have known how to ask for it. Now I know it’s what I was always craving.
“And that’s what I want for my daughter – to be expectation-less with her love and not allow preconceived standards to affect her, to ask herself what she wants and feel empowered enough to act on it.”
Are you crying yet?
Just you wait…
“If there’s one thing that I think men wish women knew, it’s just that they alone are enough,” Channing writes, adding:
“When more women start to truly feel this power in themselves, the world will become so magical, it makes my head hurt.”
Tatum concludes by saying he’s grateful that women “are realizing that they no longer have to conform to certain standards of social and sexual behavior, and this changes what they need from men and the role of men in general.”
Why did he turn Magic Mike into a live show?
“Because I wanted to create a space where we could really explore these themes in a fun, provocative way,” he shares.
“I want women to feel what it’s like to exist in a world where men really listen to them, where they treat them like goddesses, and where they can feel comfortable and proud to express the full force of their sexual energy together.
“I want them to experience a place where they are much more than enough.”
All that AND you get to see hot male strippers dance?!?
Excuse us while we go buy some tickets.

Lady Gaga to Body Haters: No Shame Here!
Lady Gaga sent a message to millions of people on Sunday night, and that message went something like this:
I am one of the best musical performers on the planet!
Just a couple days after her well-reviewed Super Bowl halftime performance, however, Gaga has been forced to send another message to a much smaller group of people.
Because the Internet is a terrible, mean, dispiriting place that should maybe just go away for a few years, some folks out there watched Gaga dance around during halftime of Super Bowl LI and decided that they needed to comment on her body.
In very negative fashion, of course.
But this is Lady Gaga.
She isn’t about to let such ridiculous, close-minded criticism get her down.
And she isn’t about to let is pass without comment, either.
“I heard my body is a topic of conversation so I wanted to say, I’m proud of my body and you should be proud of yours too,” the artist wrote on Instagram last night.”
She added:
“No matter who you are or what you do. I could give you a million reasons why you don’t need to cater to anyone or anything to succeed. Be you, and be relentlessly you. That’s the stuff of champions. thank you so much everyone for supporting me.
“I love you guys. Xoxo, gaga.”
We can’t say it much better than that.
Riding the wave of her halftime show, Lady Gaga announced her Joanne World Tour on Monday, with plans to kick it off in August in Vancouver prior to wrapping it up on December 14 in Salt Lake City.
It will take the singer all across North America.
Leading up to the big performance on Sunday, Gaga shared several social media photos of herself working out, preparing for the cardiovascular aspect of a 13-minute, high-intensity set of multiple songs.
And it is clearly paying off for the singer.
Nielsen Music reports that Gaga sold 125,000 song downloads since taking to the stage in Houston this week.
That’s an increase of approximately 960% compared to the day before the game. She also sold over 23,000 albums on Sunday, representing a 2,000% increase.
Not shabby!
Put that in your hate-filled pipe and smoke it, idiotic body shamers!
Here are some other facts related to Gaga and the songs she performance during the Super Bowl:
- A Million Reasons experience a digital sales bump of 45,000 downloads, up 900% from one day earlier.
- Bad Romance saw a bump of 1,525%, selling more than 13,000 downloads.
- Born This Way sold 12,000 downloads, good enough for a 2,202% increase.
- Poker Face picked up 10,000 new sales, an increase of 1,217%.
Pretty laughable and impressive figures, huh?
We expect ticket sales for the aforementioned tour to also be bonkers on Monday, the first day tickets are available to the public.
Did you see Lady Gaga’s halftime show? What did you think? Where would you rank it among past halftime performers and acts?
Were you upset she didn’t get more political? Or was it nice to just sit back and take in a performance without thinking about the world at large?
And how awful is anyone who criticizes Gaga’s body?!?

Wendy"s OWNS Twitter Troll, User Deletes Account in Shame
Wendy"s social media manager deserves a raise this week after proving to a troll that if you"re gonna serve beef, at least make it high quality.
In the literal sense, and the Twitter feud sense.
The company"s official account posted a tweet about how unlike some of its major competitors, the fast food mainstay never freezes burgers.
A moronic Twitter user quickly took exception.
And Wendy"s absolutely owned that user.
Seriously, you wouldn"t think that if you came at Wendy"s, you"d get served faster and more efficiently than a value meal at said restaurant chain.
That"s exactly what happened though, and so badly that the user deleted his or her account in shame. Fortunately, the exchange went viral first.
"If you"re having a bad day, just remember that you didn"t get dragged by a fast food company on twitter," wrote another follower who screen grabbed it.
#Truth. Witness this amazing back and forth …
1. You See This?
It’s made to order, and Wendy’s is proud of its beef quality and the way it’s served to consumers. Which led to this tweet by the company …
2. 2 Cool 4 Frozen Beef!
They didn’t style it like the late music icon Prince, but the message was clear: Wendy’s does not serve any frozen beef to its customers. Not now, not ever.
3. Thuggy-D Takes Exception
For reasons unknown, Twitter user Thuggy-D, a.k.a. @NHride, took issue with that statement; Wendy’s was polite but firm in its response. Sorry you think that, Thuggy-D, but it’s the truth! Unfortunately for @NHride, he/she did not take the hint …
4. So You Have a Hot Truck?
Obviously, the restaurant’s methodology was lost on this Twitter troll, because even this pop quiz didn’t get the point across.
5. He Had to Bring Up McDonald’s
Seemingly unaware of the punishment Wendy’s was laying down, the troll then told the chain to just give up, because McDonald’s rules. Wendy’s response? LOL, you don’t know what a refrigerator is!
6. PWNED
Wow. Let this be your public service announcement to only serve fresh beef … whether you’re in the food service business or just talking about it.

Khloe Kardashian Gets a "Makeunder," Slams Fashion Industry For Weight Shame
Whatever size you want to call her, Khloe Kardashian is great.
She struggles with two things most of us can relate to: weight loss and self love.
Kardashian covers the July issue of Harper’s Bazaar, a strategic move that is not lost on her.
“I definitely think the fashion industry, and people in general, look at me more now that I’ve lost weight,” Kardashian told the magazine.
“Even on shoots, I would never have options for clothing. There would always be this attention on Kourtney and Kim, but I was too much work for [stylists] or they had nothing in my size. I wasn’t even that crazy big!”
Kardashian has worked with her personal stylist, Monica Rose, for as long as she can remember.
And she’ll continue to do so as long as there is a breath of air in her bootcamp-loving lungs.
“At my fattest, Monica would always come with racks of clothes and make me feel special. She never told me, ‘Oh, they don’t have that in your size’,” Kardashian revealed.
“Other people actually said, ‘I just can’t work with you’ — because I was too big.
“That always hurt my feelings, of course.”
These days, those same stylists want nothing more than to dress the youngest Kardashian lady.
“I’m just like, ‘Fuck you. I’m not going to reward your bad behavior."”
Kardashian never set out to lose the forty pounds she shed over the course of a few years, but the demise of her marriage to Lamar Odom prompted Kardashian to seek refuge at the Woodland Hills Equinox.
“My home [with Odom] was dark and toxic,” she said
“At the time, my family didn’t know what I was going through. It was the biggest secret I’ve kept. I just needed a place to go.
“They had a TV and I could watch The Real Housewives on an elliptical,” she said with a laugh.
“No one talked to me. I loved that solitude.”
Kardashian noticed that weight began to melt off, so she hired celebrity personal trainer Gunnar Peterson and focused on health, which was the inspiration for her self-help book, Strong Looks Better Naked.
“I never thought about the number,” she revealed. “When I started seeing that I could lose weight—because I just thought my body would never change—I started taking it more seriously and eating better.”
Kardashian shares her fitness routines on Snapchat and Instagram, and often works out with her oldest sister, Kourtney.
“I love that we can work out together. Because Kim sort of prances and is super cute and gorge, while Kourtney and I are dripping wet,” she joked (not really. Their sessions look intense).
“I’m a beast at the gym. I’m super competitive and I’m a sweater. I’m like, ‘Don’t fuck with me and don’t mess up my routine,"” she said.
We’ll have what she’s having.
