Oh good.

Unbelievable! This guy is a piece of work.

I have been cracking up on my couch for the last hour.

Goodness. That is terrible. I just feel bad for the rest of the family (minus the parents) for having their names dragged through the mud.

This family isn't coming out of the hole their oldest son has dug.

Guys, every family has skeletons in their closet. We shouldn't judge them. His actions are no big deal.

@Truth Bombs:
@lovehoneybee: same!

At least these ladies consented.

The schadenfreude of this Ashley Madison leak is thrilling.

I couldn't open the link earlier but People just posted an article about it.

OMG! Wow! Let's see what the Duggars will say about this now.

I have a feeling his wife will blame it on herself for not fulfilling her wifely duties or some bullshit.

@Mrs. Champagne: agree completely. This guy has some major issues, and she's had the wool pulled over her eyes for too long

Been reading about this-yuck.

@Mrs. Pen: I think it's not the sin, rather the hypocrisy that gets people. Like, my atheist liberal lgbt friends have healthier morals and family lives than this guy, but he campaigns to have their rights taken away? Eff that!

@mrbee: and I get that, but in my mind it doesn't make it any more okay to rejoice in other peoples wrong doings. Just because there might be someone I disagree with politically/socially doesn't mean I'm sitting here waiting for them to make a wrong move so I can pull the "ha I told ya so" card.
Would people be rejoicing in the same way if, hypothetically, obama's name was on that list? Probably not. And I don't think that would be right, anyway.

@Mrs. Pen: I think him and his family treated his sisters poorly. The apologies were more excuses. I listened with confusion at a Christian radio show that defended how well the Duggars handled everything and tried to make themselves and the Duggar victims. But there were so many lies and inconsistencies they were telling. So I'm happy he got caught, very happy, because Christian radio was promoting their family and their obv messed up son as a way to handle things. And their way to handle things seemed to be shame the girls and let Josh go and learn construction and then come home and help lead the house - gross, gross, gross.

@Maysprout: what you said!

So I am certainly not a supporter of Josh Duggar. Like, no way. But my husband and I were talking about this last night and agree that there's no way to know if any public figures were ACTUALLY found in the hack. If the hackers and then the sites distributing the info are sinister enough, couldn't they just put info in the "database" and say they found it in Ashley Madison?
I definitely believe it if a Joe Schmo next door is found. Because why would anyone care to plant their name/email address. But I could definitely see them being like "Josh Duggar (or another public figure) is already a dirt bag and its believable. Put his name in".
AGAIN not defending. Just generally wonder how much we can trust what some hackers or distributors of the hacked info say is true when no one has seen the raw data the collected to verify it.
It's totally believable though, I wouldn't be surprised if it's true. Will be interesting to see what he says! If he denies it or cops to it and makes some excuses.

@looch: it isn't just his email address. It contained billing information with his name and actual addresses.

@looch: I wasn't saying it was necessarily true info. Just you said, anyone could have used his email address and I was noting that it was more than that.

@Mrs. Pen: I'm one of the people who is really really happy about this. The Duggars aren't an anomaly. Families and churches across the country treat molestation in the same wildly unacceptable way that Josh's case was handled: they shame the girls, "rehabilitate" the boys, sweep it under the rug and move along. If this situation serves as a wake up call that results in better treatment for just one girl who was the victim of sexual assault, then I'm all for it. Josh Duggar doesn't deserve my sympathy.
