Amy Duggar King claimed this week that her cousins were not allowed to watch the Christian cartoon series “VeggieTales” as kids because their parents did not want them thinking “vegetables talk.”
“I remember the time I brought over ‘VeggieTales’ so that my cousins could at least see a cartoon,” King wrote on her social media this week. “A CHRISTIAN, wholesome cartoon. I was told: ‘’VeggieTales’ are not welcome at our house. I do not want my kids thinking vegetables talk.'”
Her cousins were the focus of the TLC reality series “19 Kids and Counting” and were involved in the religiously conservative Institute in Basic Life Principles (IBLP), which King called a “damaging cult.”
“Being bold this year and just not holding back!” King wrote on Instagram.

“I was never apart of the IBLP officially but I was around family members who were very much involved and on the board of it,” King continued. “I am just not going to be afraid anymore to speak the truth and expose the damaging cult that IBLP is.”
