Josh Duggar Scandal Case Study

Improved Essays
Josh Duggar is never going to live down the questionable things he did in his life. Every story about him is founded on the molestation scandal involving his sisters or the Ashley Madison profile he used to allegedly have extra-martial affairs while living in the nation's capital. Duggar had been out of the spotlight for several months after the scandals broke, with virtually no update about his progress in rehab. It has been just over a year since Josh exited rehab in Illinois and returned to Arkansas, and details about him have been few and far in between.

There has been a lot of talk about the Ashley Madison profile Josh Duggar used because while it was his account, the photo attached to it was not his own. In recent weeks, Matthew McCarthy has reportedly decided not to settle things out of court with the Duggar family. Josh was served with papers to ensure he would appear in court. According to the Hollywood Gossip, Josh Duggar is expected to take the stand and answer the questions thrown out at him by counsel for McCarthy. The attorney is expected to touch on the molestation scandal during the questioning to provide proof at how Duggar's misdeeds have affected McCarthy on both a business and personal level.
