Jill Duggar's husband, Derick Dillard, has been continuously dropping explosive revelations about the Duggar family and their TV series Counting On. He will usually do it on social media, leaving controversial comments or posting something cryptic. So, what were the controversial remarks Derick had done so far?
The 31-year-old personality claimed that he and his wife were never paid for filming Counting On, which, he said, was only an extension of 19 Kids and Counting and not a totally new show. Despite not getting paid, they were also forced to film even if it was against their will, In Touch noted.
Allegedly, they tried to quit but couldn't do so because of the fears that they would be sued. Derick explained it would never be good news for TLC if pressuring an "abused victim" to film would be exposed. Eventually, they managed to quit the show.
They also didn't get paid when they did the special episodes, like filming Sam's birth. The accountant tried to ask the network for a reimbursement for their hospital bills, believing it had earned a huge amount from the birth special episode.
Aside from saying Counting On is only Jim Bob Duggar's show, his father-in-law was also the only one who could talk to TLC about legal conversations. Derick revealed he "never had any contact with TLC."
Nobody from the network even told them what to do or not. He also added that Jim Bob was the one negotiating all of their contracts without telling them.
If these revelations were not enough, the law school student revealed on Twitter that he hoped to publish a book about his experiences with the controversial family. In fact, he already started outlining and writing the explosive, although it wasn't ready to hit the shelves anytime soon.
Meanwhile, in a new statement to give light on his relationship with the Duggar family and time on Counting On, Derik shared his feelings about the new season of the show. In a post on TLC's Instagram, he alleged that the show didn't reflect "anything close to reality," The Blast reported.
He also added that Counting On wasn't "accurate at all." Derick also threatened to go live when he watches the new season's episodes to critique everything that's happening on screen.
Derick also mentioned that his wife, Jill, wasn't even invited to a family Zoom night because it would be seen in the series. Allegedly, it was just one of the many events that Jill had been left out of family events.
