UPDATE: The Duggars have since edited Josh's statement on their website to remove his admission to viewing pornography as well as the mentions of the recent molestation scandal. Zap2It also reports that the following was deleted from the post, "in my heart I had allowed Satan to build a fortress that no one knew about."

Following the recent claims that Josh Duggar had an account on the extramarital-affair hookup site Ashley Madison, the 27-year-old reality star, as well as his parents, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, have issued a statement on the Duggar family website.

"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," he said. "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.

"I brought hurt and a reproach to my family, close friends and the fans of our show with my actions that happened when I was 14-15 years old, and now I have re-broken their trust," he continued, citing the recent molestation scandal. "The last few years, while publicly stating I was fighting against immorality in our country, I was hiding my own personal failings."
