Amy Duggar King Claims Her Grandfather Once ‘Almost Succeeded in Murdering’ Her Mom Deanna

Amy Duggar King Makes Shocking Allegation Against Grandfather

Amy Duggar King, the reality star known from “19 Kids and Counting,” has recently made a harrowing revelation in her debut memoir, “Holy Disruptor.” In the book, Amy alleges that her grandfather, Jimmy Lee Duggar, once came dangerously close to ‘murdering’ her mother, Deanna Duggar, following a significant life decision she made in her early 20s. This disturbing account sheds light on a dark chapter in Amy’s family history.

According to the memoir, Deanna had planned to move in with her boyfriend at the age of 21, a choice that reportedly triggered a violent reaction from Jimmy Lee. Amy recounts the chilling details of the incident, stating that her grandfather physically attacked Deanna, grabbing her by the throat and attempting to strangle her. It was only thanks to the timely intervention of Deanna’s brother, Jim Bob Duggar, that tragedy was averted. Amy credits her uncle with saving her mother’s life on that fateful day.

While the physical abuse allegedly ceased after the intervention, Amy reveals that her mother continued to endure emotional abuse from Jimmy Lee, including “bickering and name-calling.” Amy herself was never allowed to be alone with her grandfather, a restriction she only understood the reasons for after his passing in 2009. She learned from her mother that Jimmy Lee was a “predator,” a revelation that deeply impacted her understanding of her family’s dynamics.

In a poignant moment during an exclusive interview, Amy shared how discovering her grandfather’s abusive behaviour has influenced her parenting of her 5-year-old son, Daxton “Dax” Ryan. She expressed a desire to break the cycle of abuse and create a different, healthier environment for her own child.
