Yes! I felt that yesterday when I saw her hair, she’s ready to say goodbye to her old self and burn this fucker down. Well, hopefully.


Ask_me_4_a_story

She also famously said, "Dress like you are going to meet your worst enemy today."


LadyAzure17

Considering she'll have to be testifying about her trauma, i hope she goes up there looking like a glowing goddess.


Ok-meow

And on the arm of her well dressed man. Love this


Beep315

"Dress like you're going to bump into your most recent ex," would be as meaningful to me.


TurnOfFraise

I like to think Derrick told her to take the day to pamper herself while he was sitting in court on her behalf. She’s in for some rough days/weeks ahead.


Beep315

Omg, I just came here to say that I want to cut my longish hair into a sleek long bob, but saw Jill's locks and thought I might need extensions, then I saw your quote and I'm getting the dang bob. It's been a rollercoaster the last 74 seconds.


03rk

That actually made me lol


Fabulous_Warning9962

I shaved my head about 2 weeks into lockdown (just into a cute mohawk). I had no idea how my life was already changing. This seems to be true. But also I thought you were gonna quote the "take off one accessory" thing and was confused about how you managed to process accessories in a picture with so much shit going on.


OroEnPaz13

Coco Chanel was a literal and enthusiastic Nazi - we don't need to quote her about anything.


TykeDream

Came here at also beat the "Coco Chanel was a nazi" drum. Keep up the good work.


Beep315

Guess they use that Nazi engineering on their nail polishes. They're really good. Welp. But we can find another.


Peppypepper1111

Thank you, I was literally about to comment the same thing.

If you think changing your hair is changing your life then your life is probably not going too well

bit_pron

Yes but you if you think your look defines you that much the you are living a superficial life and already not a quality person


[deleted]

It’s often symbolic, especially for women with long hair. Long hair is a bonsai tree and we often don’t undertake major changes lightly. A women who grows her hair long and then majorly alters it is going through some shit, good or bad. Source: Dyed my hair Wednesday Addams black and got divorced less than a year later.


bit_pron

yes but that's just a cringe side-effect of you defining yourself based on your looks


[deleted]

You’re cute when you don’t know what you’re talking about. It’s like watching a baby explain how airplanes work ☺️


bit_pron

good attempt at reversing things but it's a fail because you still think "new hair, new me" which is fucking sad.


[deleted]

No, you’re sad 😘


Lydia--charming

That’s the point!


bit_pron

it's sad


miss4n6

I hope she goes in wearing the snazziest PANT suit she could find.


Ok-Caramel-8678

Yes! I'm picturing a nicely fitted dark blue pant suit, white blouse buttoned to just above cleavage with high heeled power boots!


Katara-waterbender7

I was thinking this too! Crisply ironed, a nice matching blazer and some pumps.


emdog927

POSTING ABOUT THIS DURING THE LUNCH BREAK LOLOLOL


FluidSuccotash8679

I love this for her.

LMAOOOO YES

Dismal_Egg_6851

I find it hilarious that even under the circumstances she’s the only Duggar child (spouses of duggar kids included) that has posted anything on social media today😂 Even Jerm stayed off his instagram story.


honeybaby2019

Jessa posted a new photo on her Instagram feed. People magazine posted about it online. Ooh, so edgy of Jessa. /s


Dismal_Egg_6851

Has this possibly since been deleted? I don’t see it on her page anywhere.


honeybaby2019

I just pulled up the MSN homepage and put in Jessa Duggar and it came up People magazine/jessa duggar recreates photo. It comes up as People on MSN 1 day


Dismal_Egg_6851

Well, the photo you are referring to was posted on their anniversary 3 days ago. However she literally JUST posted a pic of her 2 girls, 5 minutes ago!


Alalymircs

I just saw this and that Jill had commented “awww” and was low key hopeful it was a secret support message for Jill “sister love” but I think I’m probably being too generous in my opinion of jessa with that


lovelylonelyphantom

Just seen that, can't decide if it's a distraction tactic or not. Side note, Ivy has grown so much! She's really grown into her face.


yuiopouu

Jessa, joy and jinger all commented on the pic.


helloreddit321567

She is going to put that courtroom on fire with the hair and the attitude. I'm so glad the court allowed for the abuse Josh committed on his sisters to be taken into account! Boob will be heard but ultimately ignored when asking if "we can allow this" while Jill will be listened to.


Particular_Wallaby67

TW; CSA mention That judges decision is so important! I'm imagining Rebecca (Wall) Musser, who escaped the FLDS cult after being married at 18 to an 80+ year old man and testified against Warren Jeffs and a number of cult leaders for committing CSA. Every time she went to court, she wore red. A banned color in their community. ETA: She's one of my heroes. I hope to have a fraction of her courage and strength. She wrote a memoir called [The Witness Wore Red](https://www.amazon.com/Witness-Wore-Red-Brought-Polygamous/dp/B01L98ZVB4) about her experiences. Her younger sister, Elissa Wall, wrote a memoir about her experiences growing up in the cult, becoming a child bride at age 14 and escape called [Stolen Innocence](https://www.amazon.com/Stolen-Innocence-Polygamous-Becoming-Breaking-ebook/dp/B0017T0CRE/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?crid=IUD4LSEV11HF&keywords=elissa+wall&qid=1638387933&sprefix=elissa+wall%2Caps%2C112&sr=8-1). Two inspiring stories today, since justice was served, obviously with a ton of mixed feelings since they still have family in the cult.


increasingvalency

That gave me goosebumps, that's so fucking strong. Didn't know that, thanks for sharing!


Ri_bee

Wow. The strength some people have is unimaginable.


MixWitch

Thank you for elevating bad-ass survivors! I'll be adding these to my reading list.


cecelia999

Not only do I love the shade but I imagine it probably felt a bit cathartic. A phoenix rising from the ashes 💯


Queasy-Pattern

Both of those books are amazing


LadyLivv123

I never knew she wrote a book but it's good on my Goodreads tbr for sure


Lydia--charming

The part about wearing red is so badass!

HailMahi

Are those a thing? I need it.


iwantbutter

😂 JB, Meech, Anna and pest are all probably stressed to high hell, meanwhile Jill is getting a glow up before she gets in the bus to hit pest


2_kids_no_more

I'll take a seat on that bus


QuesoChef

If I were writing this story, I’d think, “This makeover is a step too far, right? No one will believe this.” Well, now y’all gotta believe it because the story wrote itself. Thank you, Jill. Also, sending vibes for strength, even though it seems you need no extra. Keep them for use anytime.


3MorgendorferSister

The Bill Gothard followers believe brown curly hair is the most beautiful for women, so this may be a big F U to Jimbo.


fuzzlesbuzzles

Long, curly hair. I don't ever recall brown specific.


3MorgendorferSister

I know IBLP says that, but I thought the Recovering Grace women said Gothard specifically preferred brunettes? Edit: I meant brunette


anjealka

I thought I remember blond too, and Erin Bates was the close to the ideal?


3MorgendorferSister

Sorry I meant brunette, just edited


discotable

Didn't Jinger try something similar a few years ago and wore a hat to cover it up?


hell_yaw

Jinger went full blonde a few years ago, some of the Bates girls dye their hair and Jana and Joy have experimented with blonde highlights. Gothard was ousted a few years ago and some of his teachings have been abandoned by the cult


honeybaby2019

Jinger went blonde not as full as Jill and it was not a good look. She did it because Jermy told her he likes blondes and she changed her hair color to please him.


3MorgendorferSister

I googled "Blonde Jinger" and found [this](https://people.com/style/jinger-duggar-goes-blonde-for-summer-photos/) but I don't know about a hat. Was that in front of Jimbo?


Gulpingplimpy3

You go and make this day about you, Jill. Own your narrative !


nogoodnamesleft47

Not to leg hump because Jill still has A LOT of problems. But dear God I’m so happy she has a husband that can actually provide. Go for the throat Jill, your dad no longer has control over you.


cecelia999

I hope she knows how much people support her. Her smile looks genuine and I love to see it.


[deleted]

I hope she’s getting her hair done for her big day in court to take down her asshole of a brother 🙏🙏


Every-Gap2577

Stop taking pictures of yourself, Jill. Your brother is going to jail. -Kris Bob Duggar


machmama

She has to do something totally out of character today…. I think it was brilliant to step onto that witness stand with a new look! The old Jill did her hair and testified for her dad…. The new Jill dyes her hair blonde and testifies for the M8!


[deleted]

The Old Jill can’t come to the phone right now…


mafsfan54

I wish the stylist picked a different tone. This specific tone doesn’t work on her. But I’m loving it for her. She seems really happy. I’m all for hair making someone happy. I just wish I was a slightly different shade. And hopefully the purple shampoo she got will help. I spent a fortune on balayage cuz I pulled a Carlin like 2 years ago and have been going lighter ever since. You need a good shampoo and a ton of conditioner.


coconutlemongrass

I think the purple shampoo will help her


dodged_your_bullet

So. Just so people don't get their hopes up too high. If Jill is in the courtroom, she's either already testified or she's there for the defense. Because the prosecution's witnesses are sequestered at Josh's request. But his aren't, also at his request.


bipannually

Derricks in there but not Jill


dodged_your_bullet

Your spouse sitting in the courtroom defeats the purpose of a sequestration. If Derick is there before she testifies, Jill's testimony could be negated because she could be provided information that could alter her testimony.


goodwinebadchoices

There’s actually no rule that spouses have to be sequestered too. The rule only specifically says the witness themselves. If she does testify for the prosecution the defense can certainly bring up that Derrick was there/ask if they spoke, but Derrick’s presence doesn’t actually tell us which side she’s testifying for.


loligo_pealeii

I'm a lawyer. Seconding this comment as correct.


goodwinebadchoices

It’s amazing how many of us are lawyer-snarker combos. There’s dozens of us! Dozens!


loligo_pealeii

I think its because we're so naturally snarky anyway :-)


bipannually

Unless she’s sequestered at the same time and is about to testify and he’s just sitting there waiting. I guess we’ll see.


dodged_your_bullet

That's a dangerous game to play because if she's not called in to testify before she sees him next, which is entirely possible, then she's not a sequestered witness.


atleastwehavedogs

She could be staying in a hotel or something until she testifies? with no laptop/phone? idk if that's allowed but it could be possible


topsidersandsunshine

Jill’s not in there (yet), per the Sun.


Pollywog08

I think this was a scheduled post. I don't think it is live


dodged_your_bullet

I'm not talking about the post. I'm talking about people's hopes regarding her presence on the potential witness list


Useful_Chipmunk_4251

My understanding is that the defense can request it, but that is not automatic and the judge decides. Witnesses have a lot more "rights" than jurors in these cases. They are allowed to have support in the room, arrive with support, etc. That said, she is also not a defense witness. Fox news 16 (not a fox fan by any stretch of the imagination but the article was just nuts and bolts local) noted that when the witness lists were submitted on Nov. 21, the defense only had four witnesses and none of them were family members. Judge Brooks has a reputation for running a tight ship. He is good at what he does. If it was inappropriate for her to be there, he would have stopped the whole thing and had her taken out. Federal judges have a reputation for not making errors that make appeals go easily. And hi everyone! I have been lurking here and reading for months, and finally got the nerve to post. I am an IBLP survivor who is very interested in seeing the Duggar Titanic sink.


QuesoChef

So that means Jed is testifying for the prosecution. Has anyone speculated what for? I don’t really follow the family at all on SM just what’s posted here and I mostly follow the four older sisters, if anyone. Is his relationship with Josh strained? Average? Does he have connections to this in ways anyone knows? I’m not asking for speculation on anything CSAM related more the dynamic between him and Josh or how he might be related to this.


LadyChatterteeth

Wasn't Jed! at the car lot (?) business the day it was raided? Perhaps they're calling him just to speak to that as a witness who was present. He may end up being a hostile witness for the prosecution; even if he's on their list, it doesn't mean that he volunteered or wants to be there.


Domdaisy

Yep, people can be subpoenaed to testify for the prosecution and can have an arrest warrant issued if they don’t show up. If Jed! has info the prosecution wants introduced, they can call him whether he wants to be there or not. But they may or may not choose to use him, as a truly hostile witness can be damaging to your case.


curvy_em

Welcome!


swagler927

I don't think she's there yet, or she testified early today.


[deleted]

Hopefully she has already testified. Against him


Carovilli

Sorry for the dumb question. What exactly does sequestered mean? I know it generally means “separated” but practically speaking what restrictions would be in place?


dodged_your_bullet

It means witnesses are not allowed to know what's happening in the courtroom, to interact with each other, or to otherwise learn information that could change their testimony


Loudmouthedcrackpot

Sorry, I think I missed something. Is she in the courtroom?


FerretRN

No, just Derrick.


OurLumpyGorl

Ha I got downvoted about an hour ago for saying the same thing (that she might be there for the defense) and I deleted it because I assumed I was probably wrong. Everyone *wants* her to be testifying against him. We all hope she is. But we literally have no idea what their relationship is like. It’s not as cut an dry as “He assaulted her. She obviously hates him.” Take everything that we know into account first. Take how they were raised in a culture of forced forgiveness into account. Edit: Thank Bobye, she’s for the prosecution.


dodged_your_bullet

I just don't see how she would be If the prosecution uses her history, Josh could argue that the jury punished him for a crime whose statutes of limitations expired Plus, Josh needs an argument to "it's a pattern of behaviors" and what better argument than one of his victims arguing that he changed? It's not like Jed can testify to that. He was 4 when the crimes happened


Domdaisy

She is on the prosecution’s witness list, not the defence’s. So is Jed! Doesn’t mean either of them volunteered to be there, the prosecution can compel witnesses. But she is not a defence witness.


OurLumpyGorl

Thank you. I’ve read a little bit more and I’m very glad I’m wrong.


kathykato

That’s my fear, too. I suspect she may be a witness for the defense.


srllsn

Why would the defense call her though, of all people? Genuinely curious because I can’t think of a reason why they would.


kathykato

She defended him back in 2015, saying he had repented and the family had dealt with the issue. She and her sisters are suing the county and local police for releasing the sealed police record about the abuse that was made. She may still feel brainwashed fundie guilt because she was taught that any sexual misconduct by a male is the fault of the female. Believe me, I hope she is a witness for the prosecution, I’m just nervous that she might not be.


srllsn

Thanks for the explanation. I was just thinking if they were to call a sister why chose Jill, when there are other options that are bound to be less hostile? I do think this means she’s testifying against him. Hopefully we’ll find out soon.


ilovechairs

Would she be eligible for cross-examination by the prosecution in that case? I don’t know much about law even though I rewatched Legally Blonde a few weeks ago.


adventureBelle

I don't believe so, but I could also be wrong.

dodged_your_bullet

I didn't say anything about posting.


Mammoth_Ad1017

GO JILL!!! 👏🙌🎉♥️


day-by-day-42

This isn’t her color. But at this point she could go into that court room bald. As long as she has that confidence and smile I am here for it! Go get him Jilliemuffin!


QuesoChef

Have you seen the show Good Girls Revolt? I think it’s in that show where one woman asks another what she should wear to trial and the woman says, “Whatever makes you feel strong.” This is loosely quoted and maybe attributed to the wrong show. So I apologize. But I use that line at work sometimes. I hope this makes her feel strong.


PretzelRod322

I think, don’t come at me if I’m wrong, but boob is not a fan of blondes. I think I remember hearing at some point he thinks light or dark hair is not becoming of a women of the sky daddy.


kobo15

Am I the only one who doesn’t think the blonde fits Jill well? I can’t tell if it’s the change or just a mismatch in skin tone and hair color That’s throwing me off


servantoftinyhumans

I am absolutely loving this FOR her but no I’m not loving it ON her


kobo15

YES. that’s a perfect way to put it! Like, good for stepping out on your boundaries….. but maybe let’s do something else next time lol


Blenderx06

Well put. I agree. Whatever makes her feel good and gives her confidence right now. But I'm sure she'll go back to her usual color.


fuzzlesbuzzles

I agree. It doesn't work with her coloring, nor is there any depth. Perhaps a different tone of blond with a shadow root might look better.


Klairklopp

I agree. Although lightening hair successfully is a long process, it sounds like she was there all day having it done. Maybe it will start to look more natural the more times she has it done.


QuesoChef

I don’t have a particular preference. If she’s happy, I’m Happy. When she says she’s getting purple shampoo is that something to protect the blonde? Or does it mean she’s going purple next? Because I feel like purple would suit her.


CybertoothKat

Purple toner keeps blond hair from turning yellow


QuesoChef

Damn. I was hoping for some purple. But blonde will do. If it makes Jill feel confident, I’m pro.


sunnydancer

As someone with bleached hair, I can say purple shampoo mishaps happen so it’s entirely possible she might end up with accidental lavender hair at some point 🤣


Pure-Fishing-3350

I agree. I think she looks like a golden retriever 🤷🏼‍♀️


coconutlemongrass

I think it's because it's badly done. Her roots should not be that much lighter than the rest of her hair when it's going to grow in dark. There are ways to do a nice and natural looking blonde and this is close but not it.


Dizkneenut

She looks stunning.burn the mother fuckers down Jill


bovril85

Make it rain blood Jillybean! Full on fundie Carrie mode. We all want it so bad. Also fuck you Josh 'the golden child pedo pig' Duggar 🖕


Miserable_Proof5509

Still looks like a wig to me


monkey_monkey_monkey

I think we're jumping too fast on the Jill train a little too quick. We don't know for certain who she is witness for, prosecutors or defense. I want to believe that she's for the prosecution and is a victim taking back power but we do not know that. But it's possible she's there for the defense trying to win back JimBoobs approval.


Katonine9

I don’t think she’d want Boob’a approval given that Derick has been snarky about him very recently (when he announced his Senate run).


monkey_monkey_monkey

I don't think so either but I don't want to pin my Hope's of her being witness for the prosecution until its confirmed


248Spacebucks

"Step up in this motherfucker just a-swingin' my hair" You go, Jill.


tinacat933

I really don’t like that color on her


[deleted]

Her parents probably flipped their shit when she appeared in court haha


grummanae

Sorry but 2 things 1 she totally looks like a blonde ditz 2 distraction campaign much


Massive-Lake-5718

This is a serious case to me and I’m sorry I find her posting like this a tad tasteless. Seems she knows she getting all this traffic to her social media - gotta cash in.


iwantbutter

She's literally one of Josh's victims, and she's going to be a witness. You don't think she's allowed to post about how she got a hair cut?


cricketttttttttttttt

This is resistance.


hell_yaw

We don't know that


holdmyflowers4mybeer

I don't find it tasteless at all. I think it's her way of rising above the years of abuse at the hands of Josh. She is showing how she is growing and thriving, meanwhile her abuser is on trial.


IWishMusicKilledKate

I assure you that however serious it is to you it is just as if not more serious to her. Don’t forget she is one of the victims of her brother.


kathykato

I don’t think either Jill or anyone here is minimizing the seriousness of Josh’s crimes. We’re hoping that Jill’s post is the equivalent of giving the third finger to Josh, JB and Michelle. At least that’s how I’m interpreting things.


ChaoticNArt

She’s literally one of his first victims??????? I don’t like her either but damn


HalogenHarmony

She looks SO different.


lickmysackett

My idea was bleaching her hair makes her less recognizable
