What was the Duggar family's involvement in the Ashley Madison scandal?

The Duggar family's involvement in the Ashley Madison scandal centered around Josh Duggar, one of the children of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, who rose to fame on the reality TV show "19 Kids and Counting." In 2015, the hacker group Impact Team breached the servers of Ashley Madison, a website designed to facilitate extramarital affairs. The leaked data revealed that Josh had been a user of the service. Following the leak, he admitted to cheating on his wife and having an addiction to pornography. This revelation was a significant scandal because it contradicted the family's public image, which was based on conservative Christian values and teachings on purity and fidelity. The exposure of his actions led to personal apologies from Josh and a public statement by his parents, while also contributing to the cancellation of their TV show by TLC.
