Josh Duggar Admits to being Unfaithful to Wife Anna

Josh Duggar, the oldest child in the infamously religious Duggar family on TLC’s “19 Kids and Counting”, opens up about his “double life” and being “unfaithful to wife” in a formal statement on the Duggar Family website. Wether Josh Duggar is citing his internet pornography addiction, an actual affair or both as his unfaithful act(s) is unknown.

This statement comes amidst media scrutiny over claims that Josh Duggar is connected to the website Ashley Madison, which is dedicated to extramarital affairs. Ashley Madison was hacked in July 2015, but just this week the hackers released the name, phone numbers and addresses of account holders.

Two separate Ashley Madison accounts were connected to a Joshua J. Duggar’s credit card. The billing address for his first account matched his grandmother Mary’s house in Fayetteville, Arkansas, while the billing address for the second account matched his previous home in Oxon Hill, Maryland.

From February 2013 to May 2015, this credit card spent almost $1,000 between both accounts subscriptions and a $250 3-month “Affair Guarantee” fee. In this time frame, Josh Duggar was not only married to wife Anna, but was the executive director of the Family Research Council, which is an extremely conservative lobbying group that focuses on marriage being the pinnacle of society.
