A woman from Iowa has been given four months house arrest for trying to extort TLC regarding a member of the Duggar family and a Branson entertainer.

Teresa Hunt had been James Garrett's photographer. She claimed to have pictures suggesting an affair between the entertainer and Amy Duggar, who appears on the show '19 Kids And Counting'.

In a letter to the network, Hunt threatened to release the photos unless TLC canceled the show or paid her $10,000.

She pleaded guilty to federal extortion charges back in July.
