'19 Kids & Counting' Feud Amy Duggar Vs. Jim Bob: Reality Star Goes After Uncle Over Kissing Instagram Pic, 'He's Not Going to Control Me'
Oh, boy: It looks like some more drama is bubbling up in the 19 Kids & Counting household. This time around it's Amy Duggar and her uncle Jim Bob who are going at it. Jessa and Jill's cousin caused some controversy among the family members when she posted a picture of her and boyfriend Dillon King kissing to her social media sites. In the strict household, kissing is something reserved for the wedding day, and Amy's lip lock with King is something Jim Bob isn't happy with. The star took to her Instagram account to post a picture on New Year's Eve of a kiss she shared with her boyfriend Dillon, and it definitely ruffled a few feathers. The patriarch of the Duggar family has made his unhappiness over the smooch known to his niece.
Amy spoke out to Radar Online, where she told them that Jim Bob confronted her about the kiss, saying, "I saw ya'll kissing!"
While the father might have control over whether or not his daughters can kiss before marriage, Amy's considerably older than her cousins, as she's 28, while they're in their early 20s.
The star told the site that she didn't back down to her uncle either, telling him the kissing is "adorable."
"I said, 'Yeah, but there's plenty more that I can save up for the wedding night!'" the reality star explained, adding "Kissing is an adorable thing to do with someone you care about."
She didn't stop there, though, adding that Jim has no control over what she does in her life, according to She Knows.
"I kinda get under his skin, but he's not going to control me, and I don't think he wants to control me, " the 28-year-old star explained. "He has no reins over me. He doesn't know what I'm going to do next."
