L.A. DJ Pictured in Josh Duggar's OKCupid Profile May Sue for Defamation

Josh Duggar may need to start drafting his third apology of the summer.

The disgraced eldest son of the 19 Kids and Counting clan has so far admitted to inappropriately touching young girls when he was a teenager -- including some of his sisters -- and last week confessed he was a "hypocrite" for cheating on his wife by using a website designed for just that purpose.

Then, a little digging by Gawkerrevealed that Duggar also had a profile with the dating site OKCupid, using the email address joesmithsonnwa@gmail.com. As it turns out, that OKCupid profile featured a photo that was not Josh Duggar, but rather of a man named Matthew McCarthy.

McCarthy is a DJ in Los Angeles who confirmed to TMZ that it's his photo on the profile, and told the website it's already cost him a gig. He told TMZ he is considering legal action for "defamation of character."

The OKCupid account has since been deleted.

As The Advocate reported, Duggar admitted Wednesday that he was a user of a AshleyMadison.com, a website that facilitates extramarital affairs, and posted a statement of apology for his conduct, calling himself "the biggest hypocrite ever."

A recent hack of Ashley Madison revealed that Duggar had a paid account on the hookup site for two years. He is known for his antigay activism, including work as a lobbyist for the Family Research Council. He resigned that post in May after the revelations of sexual abuse.

"I have been the biggest hypocrite ever," Duggar posted on his family's official website Wednesday. "While espousing faith and family values, I have been unfaithful to my wife. 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."

He continued, "The last few years, while publicly stating I was fighting against immorality in our country I was hiding my own personal failures." He closes by asking for forgiveness and prayers for his wife, Anna, and their family. They have four young children.

Josh's statement was prefaced by one from his parents, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar. "When we learned of this late last night our hearts were broken," they posted. "As we continue to place our trust in God we ask for your prayers for Josh, Anna, our grandchildren and our entire family."

Shortly after Josh Duggar's statement was published on the family website last week, links to the page became unresponsive. When the statement was again made available on the site, it appeared to have been edited, several LGBT journalists and activists quickly reported.

Gawker has a running tally of all the edits made to the statement from the version originally posted, including removing Duggar's apparent admission to a "secret addiction" to "viewing pornography on the internet," as well as a claim that Duggar "had allowed Satan to build a fortress [in his heart] that no one knew about."

The Duggars' reality show was canceled by TLC in July, in the wake of the sex abuse scandal. Two of the Duggar daughters, Jessa and Jill, are to appear on an August 30 TLC special about child sex abuse; they have said Josh touched them in a sexual manner but they have forgiven him. The family is reportedly seeking a new reality TV gig in which Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar would counsel victims of sexual abuse.

The family has a long history of anti-LGBT actions, including a robocall Michelle recorded for a successful campaign against a Fayetteville, Ark., LGBT rights ordinance, in which she claimed transgender people prey on children. The family has taken homophobic stances even though Michelle has a lesbian sister, Evelyn Ruark.
