DUGGAR fans have been shocked by Jinger’s decision to support her rival sister amid breaking away from their conservative family.
Recently Jinger took to her Instagram Stories to send her sister Jessa some “love” after her older sister was hit with an unfortunate circumstance.

On Wednesday, the former TLC star reposted a video from podcaster Allie Beth Stuckey on her Stories.
In the video, Allie disbanded the online rumor that the 30-year-old had an abortion, clarifying that the former reality star aborted a dead fetus, not a living one.
Last week Jessa announced in an emotional YouTube video that she had suffered a miscarriage and had to undergo a D&C, dilation and curettage, procedure to remove the fetus.
A D&C procedure removes tissue, i.e. fetal tissue, from the inside of the uterus – D & C procedures are commonly utilized to terminate pregnancies.
Jinger captioned the Story with Allie’s explanatory video: “I love you @jessaseewald You are a light in a dark world.”
Despite the 29-year-old author being snubbed by Jinger, and their other sister, Jana, 33, amid promoting the release of her memoir Becoming Free Indeed, she still showed Jinger support.
The memoir recounted what the ex TV star experienced as she struggled to move on from a restrictive faith.
Jinger revealed she was ordered to follow strict modesty guidelines, always obey her parents and other authority figures, and shun virtually all aspects of pop culture.

An insider told The U.S. Sun that there might be a fallout within the Duggar family from the book’s release.
SISTER SUPPORT
Although Jessa and Jana distanced themselves from Jinger, sister Jill, 31, and cousin Amy, 36, have shown their support.
At the end of January, Jill flashed a smile at the camera as she held up a hardcover copy of Jinger’s book.
Jinger’s older sister said: “Look what came in!
“Thanks, Jinge for sending me a copy of Becoming Free Indeed!”
Cousin Amy – who appeared on 19 Kids and Counting – recently gushed at how “proud” she is of Jinger for having the courage to speak out.
Amy told The U.S. Sun: “I knew she was writing a book and I’m proud of her.”
“She’s speaking up, she’s using her voice, and she’s doing just fine [since leaving]. She’s got a huge following and that’s awesome.
Amy concluded: “So I’m team Jinger!”
GROWING WITH FEAR
Back in January, Jinger spoke with People about how that fear played “a huge part” in her childhood.
“I thought I had to wear only skirts and dresses to please God,” she admitted.
“Music with drums, places I went, or the wrong friendships could all bring harm.”
Jinger described how she felt “terrified” about defying the will of God even when the family would play broomball, a sport similar to hockey.
She said: “I thought I could be killed in a car accident on the way because I didn’t know if God wanted me to stay home and read my Bible instead.”
Jinger is now married to her husband Jeremy Vuolo, 35.
The couple is the parents of two children: daughters Felicity, four, and Evangeline Jo, one.
Jinger and Jeremy have distanced themselves from the Duggars in recent years.
The couple moved away from the family compound in Arkansas to Los Angeles.
