The Duggar Family's Attempt To Hide Their Double Lives

With The Duggar family's many rules, from banning beach trips to CCing their parents on texts, it's no surprise that these conservative reality stars have to lead double lives. At best, they're faking their kitchen skills. At worst, well…we're not even going to get into the worst, because Josh would need his own video entirely. But here's a look at the rest of the Duggar family's attempts to hide their double lives. According to someone who allegedly worked on the show and spoke with Gawker, Michelle Duggar once got a gay crew member fired after discovering his sexuality. Back in 2008, when the family began preparations for its first trip to the Today Show in New York City, a new crew member accidentally outed a gay member of the crew dubbed "Jimmy." Michelle had reportedly approached producers to find out if New York was, quote, "scary for kids" because she heard it was: "Overrun by…gays [who may be] causing problems." The new crew member turned to "Jimmy" and jokingly asked if he was causing any problems. Michelle then pulled a producer to the side, started yelling, and demanded to know if "Jimmy" was really gay. "Jimmy" apparently responded with, "Well, darling, depends on who's asking." He was subsequently fired due to, quote, "causing conflicts with the talent," which is a unique way of saying Michelle was intolerant.
