The nerve! A woman who tried to extort the Duggar family has been nabbed by the FBI after she threatened to release “scandalous” photos of their niece. Teresa Hunt demanded that Discovery Communications, parent company of the network that airs the Duggar reality show, pay her $10,000 or cancel the show unless it wanted her to release the photos. Hunt sent a letter to Discovery Communications stating that she had inappropriate pictures of Amy Duggar with an older musician, adding that the two snuck off to hotel rooms to have sex. Amy was mortified and vowed that the story was false. “He is a longtime family friend who has always been supportive of my music career,” she said in a statement. “He’s a good Christian and it’s upsetting that his generosity has been exploited like this.” Hunt also contacted Radar Online to sell the pictures; Radar reports that they aren’t the least bit incriminating.
