What a Creep
Season 15, Episode 6
The Duggar Family

You probably know the Duggar family from their various shows on TLC, including “17 Kids and Counting,” “18 Kids and Counting” and - you guessed it - “19 Kids and Counting” where they were portrayed as a loving, hard-working, religious family.

The Duggars are creeps for a lot of reasons. They’re homophobic and transphobic, and for over two decades, the Duggar parents dismissed their eldest son Josh’s sexual abuse of his younger sisters and a babysitter, choosing faith-based programs over counseling and failing to do really anything about it.
