Amy Duggar King is coming out with her own memoir.
Way back in January of 2024, the OG “black sheep” of the controversial family teased a tell-all book, though she played coy about it at the time.
Perhaps inspired by Jill, it is Amy’s turn to speak out. Within the limits of her NDA, of course.
What will her book have to say? Nothing positive about Jim Bob, that’s for sure.
After a year and a half of teasing, Amy Duggar is announcing her memoir
According to a report by People, Amy Duggar is releasing her very first memoir on October 14, 2025.
The title will be Holy Disruptor: Shattering the Shiny Facade While Getting Louder with the Truth.
That seems to be an obvious nod to Shiny Happy People.
There, the 38-year-old Duggar cousin will share “her unfiltered testimony of breaking free.”
The official description of Amy’s upcoming tell-all promises: “Even if you’ve been silenced, you can find your God-given voice.”
The blurb lists: “Overbearing leadership. Toxic environments. Unfair standards and unrealistic expectations.”
This memoir description continues:
“There are many ways that people abuse, manipulate and silence others. The worst part is the abuser is often someone you love.”
This could be as much about reality TV as it is about Jim Bob
“Amy Duggar King knows what it’s like to be coerced and have her voice silenced,” the description acknowledged.
“On TLC’s hit reality show 19 Kids and Counting, Amy was branded ‘Crazy Cousin Amy,’” the blurb noted. “An identity she didn’t choose, but was forced to live into.
That is certainly true. In real life, Amy is a staunch conservative well outside of the mainstream of American culture.
Only within the context of a cult and the deliberate editing choices of one of TLC’s worst shows does she appear to be some sort of edgy rebel.
“Her authentic voice was taken from her as she was told to put on a shiny, happy smile for the camera,” the description added without subtlety.
“The gaslighting continued as she was told off-camera, ‘You’re too much’ and ‘You’re not enough.’”
The blurb acknowledged: “In the years since the Duggar family collapse, Amy has intentionally dissociated from the toxic family environment.”
It is this emotional distance from Jim Bob and his ilk “which has helped her discover how to be a ‘holy disruptor’” and make life-changing decisions for her well-being.”
Jill Duggar is first in line to cheer her on
Amy Duggar is not the first member of the family to publish a book. Jill Duggar has become something of a “black sheep” of the family after becoming an adult (which, in their cult, only seems to happen upon marriage), even publishing her own memoir.
“Love you,” Jill commented on Instagram under Amy’s big news. “You are brave & are a voice for many. I look forward to reading your story.”
Like Jill and Jinger, Amy is unlikely to say anything that is actually radical for anyone outside of a cult.
However, there could be some specific revelations that even the most devoted sleuths do not yet know about the toxic Duggar family.
Amy Duggar Tell-All Memoir is Real, It’s Happening, and It’s … was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.
