Amy Duggar made the claim in a TikTok post as Joseph Duggar awaits court proceedings on child molestation charges.
Updated on Nov. 9, 2026 in Sex Crimes
Amy Duggar said her cousin Joy-Anna Duggar will not speak with her, in a TikTok video and reply to a social media user posted Saturday, November 7. The statements come as Joseph Duggar, who pleaded not guilty to charges tied to a 2020 family vacation in Florida, awaits court proceedings.
Why it matters
The dispute surfaces within a family already connected to separate child sexual abuse cases, drawing attention to how relatives respond to allegations involving one another. Joseph Duggar's case remains pending, so the claims have not been resolved in court.
Joseph Duggar was arrested in March, pleaded not guilty, and was released on a $600,000 bond while awaiting court proceedings. A pre-trial hearing is scheduled for November 10, 2026, and the case has not yet been resolved.
