Jill Duggar Dillard puts her family’s secrets on blast.
As we’ve reported, earlier this month, Jill Duggar Dillard released a tell-all book called Counting the Cost. The book details her time on TLC and some of the conflicts she’s faced with her parents over the years. Specifically, she has had many ups and downs with her father, Jim Bob Duggar. It doesn’t paint her father in the best light, but fans are very supportive of Jill sharing her story.
So far, only Jinger Duggar Vuolo has shown support for her sister’s book. Most of the family is keeping quiet, though Joy-Anna Duggar Forsyth claimed she plans to read it.

In an interview with Today, Jill Duggar Dillard detailed her father’s reaction to her book. Fans assumed Jim Bob wouldn’t be happy with the book and the dark secrets Jill brought to light. But now, she’s revealing exactly what happened.
After she publicly revealed she had written a book, her father sent a message in the family group chat. In her recent interview, she explained, “My dad texted the entire family group text (since we’re still in the group thread) and he was just saying, ‘This is so sad’ and basically threatening that if anybody speaks out against him or my mom that they would be cut out of the inheritance.”
In addition to threatening to take away his kids’ inheritance, the Duggar patriarch reminded his children that they “owe their lives” to Bill Gothard, the founder of the IBLP (Institute in Basic Life Principles). Bill stepped down from his role several years ago amid disturbing allegations. But based on what Jill Duggar Dillard has shared, it sounds like Jim Bob Duggar still supports the IBLP and Bill Gothard.
Only time will tell what happens to the Counting On stars’ inheritance, but it sounds like Jim Bob is very unhappy with the book Jill wrote.
