Josh Duggar has admitted he was "unfaithful to his wife" Anna after a report came out saying he was part of the Ashley Madison hack, calling himself "the biggest hypocrite ever."
The 27-year-old disgraced reality star admitted his infidelities in a statement on his family's website on Thursday.
The new scandal comes just a few months after Duggar's admission he molested five young girls when he was a teenager caused TLC to cancel his family's reality show, 19 Kids and Counting.
Duggar said that over the past "several years," he became addicted to porn. This led to him being "unfaithful" to his wife Anna, with whom he has four children including a newborn.
Duggar didn't address whether he used Ashley Madison, but acknowledged that he conducted his infidelities while simultaneously advocating "family values."
"I have become the biggest hypocrite ever...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," he said in part.
The admission came a day after Gawker and others reported Duggar's name was part of the hack of the dating website for cheaters.
According to Gawker, Duggar paid nearly $1,000 for two separate accounts on Ashley Madison between 2013 and 2015.
He also reportedly at one point paid $250 toward an "affair guaranteed."
Of course, this is only latest in a series of scandals involving Duggar. In June, InTouch broke the story that Duggar had admitted to molesting five girls when he was a teenager.
His parents, Jim Bob and Michelle, admitted to Fox News later than month that four of the victims were their own young daughters.
Two of the girls, Jill and Jessa Duggar, also appeared on the network and confirmed they were molested by their brother. They said they forgave him.
