Where is Jill Duggar with parents Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar

Jim Bob sent the siblings when Jill and Derrick moved away

Jill recalls her father’s response when she and Derrick told him to talk to their lawyer after she writes that Jim Bob refused Jill’s request to see the contract she signed on her wedding day regarding her compensation (or its absence) for her participation in 19 Children and the account.

Without naming names, Jill describes “the combined efforts of several of my siblings” to understand her. “They’ve been on the phone, sending voicemails and text messages for days, each begging us to solve this problem. When that didn’t work, some of my siblings started visiting. They wanted to spend hours talking about it, trying to figure out what our problem was and why we weren’t doing what Pops wanted.”

One of her siblings broke ranks, Jill adds, telling her that Jim Bob had warned them all that “if we don’t stand up to you both on this, we’re standing up to him.”

Jill writes that when she and Derrick asked why they hadn’t been paid, Jim Bob and Michelle offered their grown children an $80,000 lump sum to “start their lives.”

In the end, Jill writes, she and Derrick earned $175,000 for their years on television.
