The Duggars have released a statement on their website noting that their eldest son, a father of four, has confessed to cheating on his wife, Anna Duggar, in addition to a pornography addiction.
Michelle Duggar and Jim Bob Duggar's statement cites:
"We are so thankful for the outpouring of love, care and prayers for our family during this most difficult situation with Josh. As parents we are so deeply grieved by our son's decisions and actions. His wrong choices have deeply hurt his precious wife and children and have negatively affected so many others. He has also brought great insult to the values and faith we hold dear. Yesterday Josh checked himself into a long-term treatment center. For him it will be a long journey toward wholeness and recovery. We pray that in this he comes to complete repentance and sincere change. In the meantime, we will be offering our love, care and devoted support to Anna and our grandchildren as she also receives counsel and help for her own heart and future. During this time we continue to look to God - He is our rock and comfort. We ask for your continued prayers for our entire family."

Josh Duggar initially admitted to being "The biggest hypocrite ever." In a statement, he wrote: "I have been the biggest hypocrite ever. [...] While espousing faith and family values, I have been unfaithful to my wife."
In the same confession, Josh Duggar also admitted to "viewing pornography on the Internet." However, the statement was later removed before being revised.
