With nervous laughter, Jill Dillard tells ET that doing an interview of this caliber was far from easy for her. In fact, there was so much information to cover in the interview that she initially didn’t really want to do it. She explained that she just wasn’t sure she wanted to open up that can of worms. After all, once the can was open… She wouldn’t be able to close it back.

Jill Dillard proceeded to explain the reason why this can of worms was hard for her to open is because it required her to go back in time and think about her childhood. Moreover, she admitted that it hurt her to come to terms with the fact that some families are still living in this type of predatory situation.

There are a lot of families that are in a similar situation. But it was very different, in the sense that like, my family was on television.”

Despite her hesitation, Jill Dillard admits in the trailer for the upcoming documentary that she is proud of herself for making the decision to break the silence on her family secrets. Jill realized that there was a story to tell and it would be told regardless. So, at least she had the power to control some of the narrative by speaking out about it.
