In a shocking move, Josh Duggar has confessed to having a porn addiction and cheating on his wife after publications exposed that he has been a subscriber to the Ashley Madison website.

After being publicly outed yesterday, Josh, who also admitted to molesting his sisters, released a statement on the Duggar family's official website:

    "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 brought hurt and a reproach to my family, close friends and the fans of our show with my actions that happened when I was 14-15 years old, and now I have re-broken their trust. The last few years, while publicly stating I was fighting against immorality in our country, I was hiding my own personal failings.

    As I am learning the hard way, we have the freedom to choose to our actions, but we do not get to choose our consequences. I deeply regret all hurt I have caused so many by being such a bad example. I humbly ask for your forgiveness. Please pray for my precious wife Anna and our family during this time."


This whole situation is quite sad, but perhaps Josh Duggar coming forward can help some other men struggling with these addictions.

We hope that Josh's wife Anna, who just gave birth to their fourth child a month ago, will evaluate the relationship now that this news has some to light.
