Jill Duggar Dillard is opening up about her complicated journey with her family in the spotlight in "Counting the Cost," her new memoir with husband Derick Dillard. In a sneak peek at her exclusive, wide-ranging conversation about the powerful book with Access Hollywood, Jill shared where she stands with her sister-in-law Anna Duggar, whose husband Josh Duggar is serving time in prison on a child pornography conviction. "We have not been in contact with Anna. I have seen her on a few occasions, but I also want to respect. I know she's asked for some space, so we want to respect that as well," Jill shared, adding, "I cannot imagine all that she's going through, and I just want to also give her that space." When asked why she thinks Anna has remained with Josh, Jill replied, "I have no idea why Anna has decided to stay with Josh, and what she is dealing with there and everything," saying she's "watching with everybody else" to see what unfolds. "Counting the Cost" is available now wherever books are sold. Watch Jill and Derick on Access Hollywood – and see their extended interview on Access' digital platforms – on Sept. 13.

    So proud of Jill! She and Derek broke some generational curses and it makes me so happy.
  • @smsutton100
    The way she mentions Josh is like an inanimate object, clearly fully detached, good for them escaping from the sickness.
  • @colleenscaffa3422
    I love Jill’s honesty and openness about Anna- and respectfully leaving her alone with all that she’s going through and Anna- asking others to leave her alone- love her answer respecting boundaries
  • @BrandyTexas214
    It’s funny cause Jim bob prob regrets supporting their courtship but in reality derick is just protecting his wife which is what Jim bob should’ve wanted for his daughter.. it’s just crazy cause her husband was protecting her from her own dad. Yes Jill did this on her own too but I don’t think it could’ve happened without the man she married..
  • @lizalphonse5416
    Anna really needs to think about her kids. Josh is a monster and shouldn't be around kids. Im glad Jill turned out the way she did. She's her own person and its amazing to see❤
  • @agds91078
    I’m so glad Jill has found her voice and is finally speaking out ❤
  • Nice to see someone actually answer questions instead of completely skirting them. She was honest and respectful in her response.
  • @skarlitbegoniahz
    Jill has more grace and class in her pinky finger than anyone in/associated with that family will ever have. I can’t imagine the hurt she still endures by being estranged from them, though.
  • @dro2000
    Because thats what Anna has been taught to do is obey! Super proud of Jill for stepping out of her comfort/uncomfortable zone and speaking up for herself and her own family!

    God does not want any spouse to stay with a sexual predator. That is NOT God's will, NOTa real marriage, NOT a safe environment for precious children. If Anna chose to stay with Josh, she has clearly chosen him over herself AND her children. If she can not protect those Innocents by leaving, those children should be taken from them & placed in safe care!
  • Anna stays because the cult they're a part of tells her to. And her parents tell her to. And his parents will pay all the expenses for her and her children if she stays. Plus their cult would blame her for what Josh did. It's the wife's fault for their husbands moral failings. Because of this, she believes him when he says he's innocent and was set up. Believing in his guilt would make it her fault, her sin. So she's willing to believe any excuse to keep it from being true in her mind. This doesn't get brought up enough. Their cult blames women for every bad thing a man could do.

    The fact JB won’t allow Jill & Derek in the house without him present says she did everything right! JB thinks he owns them. They’re married grown adults with their own family. Nobody owns them!
  • @ctcocoa
    Jill is gorgeous! Glad that she is doing Whats best for her and her family 💖✨🙏🏽
  • @kimberly2644
    Maybe Anna thought that was a normalized behavior from her own past
  • @saraanderson6615
    I like how Jill has spoken out about her family and is doing her life by her wishes not her father’s! I hope Anna will break free of that family and especially Josh!
  • @Catiting33
    I'm so proud how Jill turned out. She's so mature and wise even when her parents messed up their childhood.
  • @nicole.stanhope
    I love her honesty and respect with this difficult situation!
