Jinger Duggar Vuolo on Modern Beauty Standards
In a 2021 interview, Vuolo said today’s culture features “so much talk about what true beauty is and what we’re defined by—if it’s by how we look, how we were raised or how popular we are, whatever those things may be.”
Until opening up about her struggles with body image and eating, Vuolo said only her husband and mother were aware of them. Eventually, she “wanted others to be able to see that they’re not alone and that there are answers for that,” she said. “You don’t have to feel like you have to measure up to a certain standard of beauty or personality or whatever it may be.”
Vuolo, the sixth of Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar’s 19 children, has said she has a “complicated relationship” with her parents and strict religious upbringing.
The family was featured in TLC’s series “19 Kids and Counting,” and Vuolo later appeared on “Counting On.” Vuolo has spoken about experiencing feelings of food insecurity while growing up with so many siblings.
