Ex-reality TV star Josh Duggar from "19 Kids and Counting" faces another scandal when he was discovered to be one of the millions of subscribers of infidelity site, Ashley Madison.

Duggar called himself as "the biggest hypocrite ever" and had apologized to his wife, Anna, after the big reveal.

The latest scandal follows several weeks after the alleged molestation scandal that broke out in May this year.

In a statement, Duggar said that he was ashamed of leading a double life and grieves for the hurt he had caused his wife and family, and "most of all Jesus."

The reveal was made when hackers dumped stolen Ashley Madison users' data, which included email addresses, last Tuesday night.

Gawker reported that it found a credit card with Duggar's name on it and the billing address matched to that of the family's grandmother, Mary.

Avid Life Media, Ashley Madison's owner, confirmed that part of the uploaded stolen data were legit, a report from Reuters stated.

Duggar is the eldest of the 19 children chronicled in the TLC show. The series started in 2008 and reached ten seasons until its end last May.

The 27-year old Duggar and wife Anna were frequently featured in the hit TV series. Together, they have four young kids.

In May, the report that Duggar molested five young girls surfaced. It was also mentioned that four of those girls were his younger sisters and that the molestation happened 12 years ago when Duggar was just 14.

He issued an apology for the actions on the family's official Facebook page and stated that he had confessed his acts to his parents when he was younger.

Since the scandal, the reality show had to be cancelled and the family found it hard to move on, according to People.

According to a source close to the family who told People, Josh had withdrawn from the public eye since the scandal so as not to invite negative attention to him and the entire family.
