He couldn’t deny it because the fact is clear. So hours after it was revealed that Josh Duggar, a Conservative icon who was once the Executive Director of the Family Research Council, had an Ashley Madison account, he was left with no option but to admit in a statement that he used the Ashley Madison account to pay for sex and did in fact, cheat on his wife.
‘I have been the biggest hypocrite ever. While espousing faith and family values, I have secretly over the last several years been viewing pornography on the internet and this became a secret addiction and I became unfaithful to my wife.
‘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.’
I have brought hurt and a reproach to my family, close friends and fans of our show with my actions.
Duggar was one of 37 million people who allegedly went to the Ashley Madison website with the sole intent of cheating on their spouse.
