‘Biggest hypocrite ever’: Child-molesting Christian reality star Josh Duggar also an adulterer
Duggar admitted cheating on his wife after he was found to have a paid account with the adultery site Ashley Madison
Christian reality show star Josh Duggar has pronounced himself “the biggest hypocrite ever” and admitted to cheating on his wife after it was revealed that he had paid accounts with Ashley Madison, the affair-facilitating website that was hacked a month ago.
“I have been the biggest hypocrite ever. While espousing faith and family values, I have been unfaithful to my wife,” the father of four, star of 19 Kids and Counting, said in a statement posted on the Duggar family’s website Thursday.
“I am so ashamed of the double life that I have been living and am grieved for the hurt, pain and disgrace my sin has caused my wife and family, and most of all Jesus and all those who profess faith in Him.”
In an earlier version of the statement, which has since been replaced on the family website, Josh Duggar said he’d secretly been viewing Internet porn, had become addicted and subsequently had cheated on his wife, Anna.
Credit card and address information was tracked back to Josh Duggar after the hacked information was leaked on the so-called dark web Tuesday. A second batch of Ashley Madison information - the site’s catchphrase is “Life is short. Have an affair” - was dumped on Thursday.
