Josh Duggar Sued That's MY Face On His Ashley Madison Page 
 
 Josh Duggar Sued: That's MY Face on His Ashley Madison Page 
 
 EXCLUSIVE 
 
 The guy who says Josh Duggar used his face on several dating and social media sites -- including Ashley Madison -- is suing the reality star for jacking his image. 
 
 Matthew McCarthy says he's been humiliated since Duggar confessed he was addicted to porn and had been trawling for women online. As we first reported ... McCarthy was shocked to see his face as the profile pic on several Duggar accounts. 
 
 In the lawsuit, McCarthy says he was raised in a strong-knit Catholic family ... so being connected to Duggar's porn life -- on Twitter, OkCupid and Ashley Madison -- has been mortifying. 
 
 He adds he's been getting harassing messages referring to him as "Duggar's boy toy" and "DJ Duggar." He's a DJ and photographer by trade. 
 
 Matthew is suing Duggar for the wrongful use of his image, and for damages ... aka cash. 
 
 Of course, Josh's reality show dough isn't flowing in anymore. Last we heard, he was working at a car dealership. ||||| Josh Duggar Screws Random Guy Over In Sex Scandal 
 
 Josh Duggar -- Screws Random Guy Over in Sex Scandal 
 
 EXCLUSIVE 
 
 Josh Duggar turned the life of a Hollywood DJ upside down by apparently jacking his pic for his OKCupid profile. 
 
 Matthew McCarthy tells us he was shocked to see his pic on the dating site, and way more shocked to know Duggar was posing as him to score chicks. 
 
 Now check this out ... it appears Duggar got the pic by Googling "random guy" ... the third photo that comes up is Matthew's. 
 
 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. 
 
 So much for playing Cupid. ||||| After today’s earlier revelation of Josh Duggar’s paid Ashley Madison account hit, tipsters and Twitter are pointing out that if you search Josh Duggar’s highly unique Ashley Madison email handle, “joesmithsonnwa,” this OKCupid profile is the only other result you get. 
 
 The picture is obviously not of Josh Duggar. And as of right now, it appears on Wordpress under the title “random guy from Facebook.” If you search “random guy” on Google images, the same photo comes up as one of the very first results. So if a man in his 20s were to try and find a discreet, anonymous photo for a social media profile, it’s possible he’d find this one. 
 
 It’s also worth noting that, on this OKCupid profile, “Joesmithsonnwa” claims to be looking for “casual sex” while simultaneously describing himself as a “strictly monogamous” type. “Joesmithsonnwa” last appeared online in September of 2014 (around the same time Josh J Duggar’s credit card stopped paying for the first Ashley Madison account), and “Joesmithsonnwa” lists his location as near where Duggar, his wife, and their three children lived in Oxon Hill, Maryland—that is, until they moved back to Arkansas when scandal hit. 
 
 What’s more, his occupation is listed as “politics,” and Duggar was the Executive Director of the Family Research Council at the same time this profile was active. 
 
 On the other hand, the man in this profile lists himself as having “graduated from university,” where as Josh did not, in fact, graduate college. It is, however, very, very rare that a Google search for one phrase only turns up one other link, but we also don’t have any credit card data to corroborate this particular 27-year-old casual-sex-seeker’s identity. 
 
 So while we can’t determine definitively that this is Josh, if you did go out with this person at any point and it was not Josh Duggar (or if you are “random guy from Facebook), we’d love to hear from you. 
 
 Update 8/20 10:59 a.m.: Whoever did own the OkCupid profile has apparently decided to delete it. Because now, what used to be joesmithsonnwa’s profile brings you here: 
 
 While we have yet to hear from anyone claiming to own the profile, we have discovered that the picture belongs to model Matthew James McCarthy—who lives nowhere near Washington, DC. So again, if you have any more information about this—or any other similar dating profile—you can send us an email here. 
 
 Correction: An earlier version of this incorrectly referred to Josh Duggar’s Ashley Madison username as “joesmithsonnwa,” when “joesmithsonnwa@gmail.com” was actually his Ashley Madison login. We’ve updated the post to reflect this. ||||| In the wake of the news that Josh Duggar reportedly paid for an Ashley Madison membership, websites and Internet sleuths are trying to determine whether the former 19 Kids and Counting star was also on other dating sites. 
 
 After receiving tips from the Internet, Gawker pointed out that searching Duggar's alleged Ashley Madison email handle — "joesmithsonnwa" — provides one other result on Google: an OkCupid profile with the username joesmithsonnwa.

 The profile since has been taken down, but screenshots show a 27-year-old man from Alexandria, Va. Before his child-molestation scandal, Duggar and his family lived 15 minutes away from Alexandria, in Oxon Hill, Md. 
 
 The photo attached to the account is not Duggar. Gawker reported it is model Matthew James McCarthy, whose photo is one of the top Google images results for "random guy." 
 
 Another reason people are linking the profile to Duggar is that the user last appeared online in Sept. 2014, which is approximately the same time Duggar's reported credit card stopped paying for the first of his Ashley Madison accounts. Duggar was the executive director of the Family Research Council, and this user lists his occupation as "politics." 
 
 Joesmithsonnwa also said he is a Christian who never smokes, drinks or does drugs. His salary is listed at $100-$150,000, and he is looking for "casual sex" — while being the "strictly monogamous type."

 Before the profile was taken down, people in the comments section of Gawker posted screenshots of joesmithsonnwa's answers to OkCupid questions. According to those, the user said he has not been faithful in past relationships, feels there are circumstances in which a person is obligated to have sex with him and does not feel LGBT people should have children. 
 
 However, Duggar did not graduate college, and joesmithsonnwa said he did. There is no hard evidence linking this user to Duggar, but the Internet is continuing to search for signs of alleged infidelity. Duggar has not yet responded to these allegations. ||||| In the cesspool story of the Ashley Madison meltdown, you won't find too many characters worth rooting for. That's pretty much the reason people are going ape over it, right? But when hackers made good this week on the threat they made in July to expose the infidelity-based dating site's subscriber information, eager dirt diggers promptly hit the jackpot with the discovery of not one but two accounts apparently belonging to one Mr. Josh Duggar. So! Much! Schadenfreude! But as gross and loathsome as this whole thing is, what if we didn't add to the grossness and loathsomeness of it? What if we didn't operate on a moral flatline, in which private morals and genuine crimes are all up for the same degree of lip-smacking glee? 
 
 Let's take a moment to deconstruct the information. On the spectrum of individuals whose glass houses seem ripe for some good old-fashioned stone throwing, Josh Duggar's got to be near the top of the list. He's the eldest child of the famously Jesus-loving, transphobic Duggar clan, and until recently the executive director of FRC Action, the political arm of the notoriously anti gay Family Research Council. This is a guy who has professionally worked against gay and lesbian people, against reproductive choice, all from the cushy perch of reality TV recognition. He's also a man who earlier this year was revealed to have admitting to have "forcibly touched at least five girls" — including his sisters — when he was a teenager. For it to turn out that such a man also allegedly paid nearly a thousand bucks over the course of over two years for an account on a site for cheaters is pretty damn rich. His credibility as a judge of other people's morality is forever destroyed, and that's fine. 
 
 To be clear, the current gloating over Josh Duggar's apparent penchant for a little something on the side is not equivalent to Gawker's notorious outing last month of a married Conde Nast executive whose attempt to procure a gay escort became fodder for a humiliating — and then controversially retracted -- story. At the time, now-departed Gawker editor Max Read boasted that "Given the chance gawker will always report on married c-suite executives of major media companies fucking around on their wives" — a publishing standard that seems questionable at best. The executive, unlike Duggar, was not a public figure. He certainly never, like Duggar, had the impressive record of both sexual abuse and hypocritical political lobbying. 
 
 But you know, this also isn't a case of an embarrassingly misdirected sexual invitation being inadvertently released, a la Anthony Weiner. It's not a sex partner coming forward. It's still private information, including the street where Duggar and his family own a home, that was obtained by a group of vigilantes. Yet now ostensibly legitimate news organizations are poring over the trove of information from the hack, analyzing, for instance, how many Ashley Madison accounts came from military and government addresses. On Thursday, an Australian radio show told a curious caller live on the air that her husband was a member. And the New York Post has dutifully reported that "Locally, 27 people used email addresses registered to the Department of Education, and three each from the Fire Department and Parks Department." 
 
 This is where the fallout becomes repulsive. Because I don't care if my local urban park ranger is cheating on his wife. It's none of my business. I do care that a group of hackers has now done their dirty work for a bunch of tabloids, who are using the detailed personal information they obtained to wreak havoc in an yet untold number of lives. I do care that in just the span of the post 9/11 era, we've come to take it for granted that any number of forces — the government, or a shadowy group calling itself Impact Team that has an ax to grind against Ashley Madison — can just rummage through our most intimate data. I care that we're somehow encouraged to participate in the shaming of those who morally transgress, to delight in their exposure, however that exposure was obtained. And I care that based on prior history, when we declare open season, that's when everything is up for grabs. As other recent hacks have revealed, it's all fodder. Private photographs. The contents of an Amazon order. Let's just point and judge it all! 
 
 Josh Duggar won't get a whole lot of sympathy from me. But when I saw Thursday a headline describing the latest news as "yet another sex scandal," I did consider that there's actually a difference between molesting your sisters and cheating on your wife. I believe that the people the Impact Team describe as "cheating dirtbags" — whose personal circumstances and arrangements with their partners are not in fact ours to know or judge — don't merit this prurient promenade around the headlines. And far more than Josh Duggar's list of qualities he's looking for in a bang-buddy, I'm disgusted by the lie that if you're good, you don't need to worry about your privacy, and that as long as you don't have any secrets, you don't have anything to be afraid of.
– Matt McCarthy, a Hollywood DJ, photographer, and model, is suing Josh Duggar for damages, claiming the scandal-plagued reality star used McCarthy's photo for his online profiles, Courthouse News Service reports. TMZ says those profiles included one on cheating site Ashley Madison, and that Duggar is also accused of using McCarthy's image on Twitter and OkCupid. McCarthy says he's been humiliated by the scandal and that people are calling him "DJ Duggar" and "Duggar's boy toy." TMZ reported last year that Duggar apparently found McCarthy's picture by Googling "random guy." At that time, McCarthy said he'd already lost a DJ gig over the perception that he was somehow involved in Duggar's porn-and-sex scandal. The Hollywood Reporter and Gawker also delved into the issue last year, reporting that McCarthy's photo appeared on an OKCupid profile apparently set up by Duggar and seeking "casual sex," in addition to the Ashley Madison profile. Back in the present day, TMZ notes that Duggar is reportedly working at a car dealership now that he's no longer on reality TV.
