Homophobic Hypocrite of the Year, Josh Duggar
Back in May, Josh Duggar, the oldest son of reality TLC’s 19 Kids and Counting family, resigned from his position as executive director of the anti-gay hate group Family Research Council’s lobbying arm after apologizing for his “inexcusable” actions as a teen when he sexually abused five underage girls, including family members.
“Twelve years ago, as a young teenager, I acted inexcusably for which I am extremely sorry and deeply regret. I hurt others, including my family and close friends,” Josh told PEOPLE in his statement. “I confessed this to my parents who took several steps to help me address the situation. We spoke with the authorities where I confessed my wrongdoing, and my parents arranged for me and those affected by my actions to receive counseling. I understood that if I continued down this wrong road that I would end up ruining my life.” (read more here)
Duggar was exposed as a hypocrite a second time, when it was discovered he had been paying for an account on cheating site Ashley Madison from February 2013 to May 2015. Duggar released a statement: “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…The last few years, while publicly stating I was fighting against immorality in our country, I was hiding my own personal failings.”
