Ashley Madison Hack Reportedly Turns Up First Celebrity: Josh Duggar | Mediaite
The Ashley Madison hacks have seemingly outed one prominent public figure so far: Josh Duggar, the eldest son of 19 Kids and Counting‘s Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar.
According to Gawker, Duggar had a paid account with the famed website for extramarital affairs while working at the Family Research Council (FRC), a D.C.-based Christian conservative organization. His account information has been tracked to his home, as well as another residence owned by his grandmother.
Duggar became a national pariah after admitting this May to acts of child molestation, and the resulting backlash led TLC to cancel his family’s show in July.
Duggar has repeatedly made efforts to apologize for his actions, but in last night’s data dump of hacked information from the cheating website, someone was shown to have used a credit card with his name and billing address (as screen-grabbed by Gawker):
The data pulled suggests that Duggar’s profile included a list of turn-ons, and that his sexual interests included “Likes to Receive Oral Sex,” “Open to Experimentation,” and “Someone I Can Teach.”
The data indicates that Duggar paid for two monthly subscriptions to the site, and that his second account was linked to his Oxon Hill, Md., home, where he lived while working for FRC.
