The family isn’t desperate for anything.
Here are the cold hard facts:
The family is about to receive a multi-million dollar settlement from In-Touch magazine and their parent company Bauer Media Group. MULTI-MILLION and every one involved in this KNOWS IT!
The parents, the girls who are the victims and even Josh will be getting massive checks for many, many financial quarters and it is going to be big enough to show up on the balance sheets.
There is no chance in Hell that Bauer Media fights this case in court. Any first year law student could retire on the proceeds from this case.
Heck, they may be on the hook to TLC.
It seems likely to me that once the ruffled feathers become unruffled again, they will be back in the scene in some other fashion.
Genuine faith has that side effect. The believer can (and very possibly will) stumble, scrape his nose, take a prat fall, twist an ankle. The world will go into “orgies” of “Nana-nana, nana-nana. Guess God hates YOU!”
And then God will re-craft his scene even better than before.
Why would In Touch get sued if government officials turned over their records to them? I would thing it would be the officials who would get sued.
