Ashley Madison Hack: Josh Duggar Admits Porn Addiction and Cheating on Wife

Josh Duggar broke his silence just a day after emails of millions of users on infidelity website Ashley Madison were exposed.

The '19 Kids and Counting' star has admitted to a "secret obsession" to porn and cheating on his wife Anna Duggar in a shocking statement released on the Duggar Family website.

Calling himself "the biggest hypocrite ever," the 27-year-old ex-reality star has apologized for his porn addiction and for cheating on Anna.

"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," he said.

In his statement, Josh Duggar did not address whether he had used Ashley Madison, nor did he detail the exact nature of his marital infidelity.

His admission comes several weeks after his exposure that as a teen, he molested four of his sisters and a babysitter. Those revelations led to the cancellation of '19 Kids and Counting,' the hit TLC reality show which he appeared with his 18 siblings and his parents.

"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," Josg Duggar said in his statement.

The TLC series had chronicled the apparently wholesome home life of Arkansas couple Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar and their now-19 children.

On Tuesday, hackers known as The Impact Team followed through with their threat to release names, addresses and pictures of the one million people who use the website Ashley Madison to cheat on their partners .

Hackers accessed the intimate details including nude images and even details of their secret sexual fantasies.

They threatened to release the information unless Avid Life Media, owners of Ashley Madison, close down the affair website as well as a partner page, Established Men.
