Police are seeking to charge individuals who attacked emergency crews after the stabbing, and the bishop, who has faced criticism and online trolling, has been injured in the attack.

The Dark Side of the Duggar Family's Reality TV Fame.

Prime Video's four-part documentary series, "Shiny Happy People: Duggar Family Secrets," exposes the Duggar family's role in promoting a sexist evangelical crusade that denigrates, dominates, and disempowers its female members. The series also sheds light on the family's ties to the Institute in Basic Life Principles (IBLP), an ultra-out-there association founded by Bill Gothard, which has been accused of pedophilia and incest. The documentary is a damning indictment of TLC and its parent company, Warner Discovery, for profiting off the Duggars' fundamentalist way of life without digging beneath the surface.
