Jed Duggar shames his wife Katey in birth video?
In one part of the birth video, Jed is filming his wife in the hospital bed. She smiles for the camera in between their conversation. They are discussing the food options at the hospital. Jed says, “You’re all about the food.”
Katey explained how dining works at the hospital and said, “They give you, like, a whole menu, and then you can order whatever you want.”
Then, Jed pinched his wife’s cheek and said, “If anybody knows Katey, she’s all about food.” You can see it in the screenshot below, which is from the first part of the birth video.
Over on Reddit, Duggar fans and critics are discussing Jed’s actions and talking about how shaming and degrading this was. After all, Katey was in labor at this point.
One Duggar snarker wrote, “Even if I wasn’t in labor if my partner pinched my cheek and commented on my eating habits he would lose a hand.”
Someone else added, “Right. That is such a condescending and patronizing gesture.”
Another critic called Jed’s actions “Casual degradation of your spouse in front of others for fun.”
