Duggar fans believe Jessa is trying to “steal the spotlight” on Jinger with a new post after she “snubbed” the sister’s tell-all book

JESSA Duggar has been accused of trying to steal Jinger’s ‘Spotlight’ after her sister released a tell-all book.

The Counting On alum has failed to acknowledge Jinger’s explosive memoir – but has taken the time to promote an education app for her sons on Instagram.

Jessa, 30, shared a video of Spurgeon, seven, and Henry, five, playing with the app on Thursday.

She urged fans to try the app and even offered a discount code with her name in the video and accompanying caption.

Critics slammed Jessa for being active on social media while not publicly supporting Jinger.

One wrote on Reddit, “Jessa can’t let Jinger take the spotlight.”

Another asked: “Has Jessa Jinger’s book been confirmed yet? Really curious.”

In the comments to Jessa’s video, a third critic demanded, “stand by your sister,” adding a crying face emoji.

Jinger has been promoting her memoir, Becoming Free Indeed, all week.

Fans noted that Jessa and her rarely seen sister Jana didn’t share their support for Jinger’s book, which reveals her parents, Jim Bob, 57, and Michelle Duggar, 56, and their extreme religious beliefs.

The memoir tells what the TV star experienced as she struggled to move beyond a restrictive belief.

Jinger announced that she was commanded to follow strict guidelines of modesty, to always obey her parents and other authority figures, and to shun virtually all aspects of pop culture.

An insider told The US Sun there could be a fallout within the Duggar family following the book’s release.

FAMILY SUPPORT

Although Jessa and Jana have distanced themselves from Jinger, sister Jill, 31, and cousin Amy, 36, have shown their support.

In late January, Jill smiled for 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 about how “proud” she is of Jinger for having the courage to speak out.

Amy told The US Sun: “I knew she was writing a book and I’m proud of her.”

“She speaks, she uses her voice, and she’s fine [since leaving]. She has a huge following and that’s great.

Amy concluded, “So I’m Team Jinger!”

CHILDHOOD FEAR

Last month, Jinger spoke to People about how this fear “played a big part” in her childhood.

“I thought all I had to do was wear skirts and dresses to please God,” she admitted.

“Music with drums, places I’ve gone, or the wrong friendships can all do harm.”

Jinger described how she felt “terrified” about defying God’s will, even when the family played broomball, a sport similar to hockey.

She said, “I thought I might die in a car accident on the way because I didn’t know if God wanted me to stay home and read my Bible instead.”

The former TLC star is married to husband Jeremy Vuolo, 35.

The couple are parents to two children: daughters Felicity, four, and Evangeline Jo, one.
