“I don’t know. Maybe not,” she said. “But they’ve got me a good place to stay that’s very private.”

Kendra again asked how he was doing: “So, you’re doing okay?”

“I’m trying to keep my spirits up, and I feel like reading the Bible [has] really been helpful to [stay] calm and not think about all the situations,” Duggar said. “It’s been uplifting.”

Kendra and her husband are both scheduled to appear in court in Arkansas on April 29.
