Josh Duggar Ashley Madison Scandal: Did Father of 4 Also Have OKCupid Account?
Days after former "19 Kids and Counting" star Josh Duggar's paid Ashley Madison account seeking extramarital affairs was exposed, an Internet search of his username joesmithsonnwa produced another interesting find -- an OKCupid profile, reports Gawker.
The OKCupid profile screenshot below, obtained by Gawker, shows a picture that is not Duggar.
The profile picture appears on WordPress with the title "random guy from Facebook." Gawker performed a search of "random guy" on Google images, which produced this photo. If a man wanted to find an anonymous photo for an online dating profile, this would be an easy find and good choice.
The OKCupid profile user Joesmithsonnwa, like Duggar's Ashley Madison account, is seeking "casual sex" while also describing himself as "strictly monogamous." Joesmithsonnwa last used OKCupid in September 2014, which Gawker points out is the same time Duggar's credit card stopped paying for the first of two Ashley Madison accounts.
Another clue is that OKCupid's Joesmithsonnwa lists his location near where Duggar and his family lived in Oxon Hill, Maryland at the time.
The "casual sex" seeker also lists his occupation as "politics," and when this profile was active, Duggar was the executive director of the Family Research Council, a position he resigned from when his molestation of five underage girls as a teenager became public.
It is important to point out the man in this OKCupid profile claims to have "graduated from university," which Duggar did not. Further, there is no available credit card data to verify this particular 27-year-old's identity.
Gawker later updated the article, following the report, whoever owned the OkCupid profile deleted it, and the profile picture that was used is model Matthew James McCarthy -- who does not live near Washington, D.C.
Latin Post previously reported Duggar confessed on Aug. 20 to cheating on his wife, Anna Duggar, once his Ashley Madison account was made public.
Josh currently lives in Arkansas with Anna and their four children.
