Josh Duggar Faces Possible Lawsuit By Man Whose Photo Was Used In His Alleged OkCupid Profile
Josh Duggar may have had accounts on other dating websites, including OkCupid. The man whose photo appears on it is contemplating legal action.
Many across the nation were shocked when news broke this week that anti-gay “family values” advocate and “19 Kids and Counting” star Josh Duggar had not one but two paid accounts on the Internet adultery dating site Ashley Madison. Compounding his hypocrisy was the fact that while he was cheating on his wife which he admitted – he was the head of an anti-gay political organization and repeatedly attacked same-sex marriage and gay people as destroying the family.

Soon after came reports that Duggar may also have had a Facebook account he used to hook up with local Arkansas strippers and lingerie models. Raw Story reported the news and described a few of the 31 young women who had friended that account, including “a dancer at Sensations Gentleman’s Club in Arkansas, a lingerie model, and a boudoir photographer.”
News also broke that Duggar may have had an account at another dating site, OkCupid – ironically, the site that joined the grassroots call for the ouster from Mozilla last year of its anti-gay CEO, Brendan Eich. Gawker published a screenshot of that account including the photo that is not of Josh Duggar but reportedly of model Matthew James McCarthy.
Now, McCarthy, the one man directly affected by that OkCupid profile may be fighting back.

“Matthew McCarthy tells us he was shocked see his pic” on the OkCupid profile allegedly belonging to Duggar, TMZ reports, “and way more shocked to know Duggar was posing as him to score chicks.”
The celebrity and gossip news site notes “it appears Duggar got the pic by Googling ‘random guy’ … the third photo that comes up is Matthew’s.”
Does he have any claim for suing Duggar, if indeed that is Duggar’s account? Perhaps.
“Matthew says he’s already lost a DJ gig because the club felt he was part of the sex scandal. He feels this is somehow defamation of character, and he’s considering his legal options.”
Josh Duggar is already reportedly facing another possible lawsuit, by a non-family victim of his child sexual molestation scandal.
