On Wednesday, October 1, Amy Duggar King spoke to Us Weekly about how her childhood reminiscences of Josh are so completely different from the person that he selected to be as an grownup.
“Growing up … we had so much fun,” the 39-year-old recalled of her incarcerated cousin.
“He was such a fun kid,” Amy characterised.
“There [were] all kinds of pranks he pulled and jokes. We just had this connection.”
Elaborating, Amy shared that she and Josh “very much kept in touch” as adults.
“He texted me two weeks before he was arrested, sending me memes,” she revealed.

In fact, many outdoors of the Duggar household didn’t really feel shocked at Josh’s CSAM arrest and conviction.
Why? As a result of he had molested 5 younger women as a teen.
That as a result of public data a number of years earlier than Homeland Safety raided his office.
How did Amy really feel about that horror?
‘Everything was so healthy and good’ after the 2015 revelations about Josh
Amy Duggar admitted that it felt “really hard” to maneuver ahead after she discovered what Josh had performed to 4 of his personal sisters.
“But then … it felt like everyone was [trying to] apologize. Everything was so healthy and good,” she shared.
(Keep in mind, Amy grew up in an excessive way of life and perception system, even when she was not a cultist like her cousins)

“And so I was like, ‘Why am I holding this against this person?’ You know, everyone’s human,” Amy confessed.
“And so I reconciled in my mind,” she defined. “Like, ‘OK, if everyone else can forgive, I can, too.’”
Amy concluded: “I still loved him, regardless of the crap he did.”
Fortunately, that now not appears to be the case. And she or he has no real interest in making good with Josh ever once more.
