Amy Duggar King is known for her role in the popular TV show ’19 Kids and Counting’. The reality star recently opened up about the intense pressure she felt to maintain a perfect appearance on the show. In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, Amy revealed that she spent “probably thousands” of pounds on outfits and beauty products during her time on the show.
Amy shared that she felt a constant need to refresh her wardrobe and beauty products to ensure she never wore the same thing twice on camera. Despite financial constraints, Amy managed to keep up with the demands of the show by shopping at places like Goodwill and Dollar Tree. She mentioned, “I definitely felt like I should look perfect all the time. I wanted to keep my skin clear, I wanted to look a certain way and have the newest thing, and [be] stylish and all that.”
The pressure to look flawless was exacerbated by the rise of social media during that time. Amy admitted that platforms like Instagram played a role in shaping her self-image and creating additional expectations for her appearance. Reflecting on her spending habits, Amy acknowledged that she invested a considerable amount in constantly updating her wardrobe and cosmetics.
Amy confessed that the idea of never repeating an outfit stuck with her even after the show ended. She revealed, “It’s kind of bad, but once I wear something, and someone sees me in something, then that’s that moment in time — and now I’m going to sell it or get rid of it.” Despite her expensive taste, Amy shared that she still loves thrifting, a practice she learned from her grandmother.
In her upcoming memoir, ‘Holy Disruptor: Shattering the Shiny Facade While Getting Louder with the Truth’, Amy promises to share her unfiltered journey of breaking free from societal expectations and labels. The book delves into her years on ’19 Kids and Counting’ and how she has healed in the aftermath of her family’s public struggles. ‘Holy Disruptor’ is set to release on October 14th and is available for pre-order.
Amy’s candid revelations shed light on the behind-the-scenes pressure faced by reality TV stars and the lengths they go to maintain a polished image for their audience. Her story serves as a reminder of the challenges individuals in the public eye encounter and the importance of self-acceptance amidst external pressures.
