Rebel cousin Amy Duggar defends having ‘a glass of wine or a shot’ without ‘being an alcoholic & ruining your family’

AMY Duggar has dished out some “real talk” to fans where she argues having a drink won’t make someone “an alcoholic” in a strong departure from her family’s strict views.

The Counting On star – who does not adhere to the Duggar family’s strict dress and lifestyle code – took to her Instagram Stories for the first installment of her new series dubbed “Real Talk with Amy.”

The Duggar family has observed a strict dress code that allows women to dress modestly and to wear only long skirts or dresses

Speaking to the camera wearing a blue patterned dress with a plunging neckline, Amy said: “I’m going to tell y’all something that will hopefully help you.

“So here’s the first one, cause I’m feeling a little salty today – you can have a glass of wine, a glass of whiskey, some Bourbon, a shot, a cocktail, and still be a good person.

“Just because you have a drink does not mean you’re going to become an alcoholic.

“It doesn’t mean you’re going to burn your family and you’re going to make terrible, bad decisions OK?”

Amy, 34, urged her followers to take ‘everything in moderation’

In her straight talking monologue, the 19 Kids and Counting star added: “My gosh, everything in moderation. Seriously people.

“Stop judging something you don’t know.

“I don’t know why on my page I’m getting so many haters lately, which is fine as I know they exist and whatever, but who has time for that?

“Go live your life – there’s a beautiful world out there and not everybody needs your opinion, for sure.



The 19 Kids and Counting star said she had been subject to a host of ‘haters’ lately

Counting On’s patriarch Jim Bob Duggar, 55, and matriarch Michelle Duggar, 54, have stuck to these strict rules for their Christian lifestyle.

“We are all different and that’s what makes the world go round.”

Amy, who is married to Dillon King, was holding son Daxton as she went on her rant.

Amy remains ‘really close’ with Jill Duggar, who is estranged from her parents because of their views

One of these inflexible rules includes not allowing women to show their legs or dress in a revealing manner.

The reality star has defied the family’s strict dress code along with her cousins, Jessa, 28, and Jinger, 27, and Jill, 30.

Last month, the boutique owner showed off her cleavage in a low cut top, as she continued to defy the code.

The businesswoman previously exclusively told The Celeb Report she was “not surprised” Counting On was cancelled following her cousin Josh’s arrest for child pornography charges.

It came after Amy’s cousin Josh Duggar was arrested on child porn charges

Josh’s possession of child pornography arrest in April led to TLC canceling Counting On after 11 seasons.

In an exclusive interview with The Celeb Report, Amy admitted she is “not surprised” with the network’s decision to cancel the long-running reality show. 

Amy said: “I’m not surprised that the show got canceled. There’s nothing I can say about Counting On being canceled except ‘thanks for the memories.’ Lots of memories.”

Amy is on the outs with her uncle Jim Bob and aunt Michelle.

The fashion store owner has openly admitted there is an NDA in place preventing her from talking about the famous family

Amy has been open about her non-disclosure agreement refraining her from talking about her famous family. 

Yet she turned to her Instagram Story recently to ask: “Question for anyone out there who is a lawyer, aka Derick. Once a show is canceled does that mean if anyone has signed an NDA – is that canceled since there’s no show to protect?”

Amy continued: “Hmm. Just a question. I have a feeling that things are going to get very interesting.”

Amy told The Celeb Report there are “some things” she would like to “share” if she could get out of her NDA. 

Teasing there could be more to the situation, she added: “Let’s just say we’ll just have to see.

“I’m tough, I have to be. At the moment that’s really all I can say.”



Yet the mom recently raised eyebrows when she quizzed if an NDA was still relevant if Counting On had been canceled
