Amy King (née Duggar) has long spoken out against many of her cousins in the Duggar family — but never moreso than ahead of Josh Duggar’s child porn sentencing.
“Sickened by the news lately. I have so much to say leading up to the sentencing and I’m not afraid anymore,” the singer, 35, tweeted on Thursday, May 13, referring to the recent letters Josh’s mother, Michelle Duggar, and his wife, Anna Duggar, wrote to the judge praising him and pleading for a lighter prison sentence in his upcoming court appearance on May 25.
