People just love controversy. And the truth is, sometimes, being in the spotlight means your every will be looked into — no matter how much you seem to be apologetic about it already. Such as with Josh Duggar, who is said to be in rehabilitation already but is still receiving the brunt of his joining the cheating website Ashley Madison.

Recently, some of the clients of Ashely Madison was outed by a group of hackers that stole the information from the website's user base. One of the names that surfaced from the said data breach is reality TV personality and former Family Research Council director Josh Duggar. The 27-year old was then still struggling to rebuild his image from the molestation controversies that also led to the cancelation of his family's show, "19 Kids and Counting."

In light of the cheating scandal, Josh reportedly checked himself into a sex rehabilitation centre and is now trying to recover. But the scandal has not completely left him, with news site posting about stuff related to the Ashely Madison data breach, like wife Anna's plans of filing for divorce and the selling of their recently purchased Arkansas home.

It seems the controversies are not yet over. Gawker has now chosen to publish the photos that Josh used in his Ashley Madison profiles. Using the handles josh_the_man and Ready4thisDC, the former political activist was shown using images that only partially obscured his face. But as the website noted, he is still pretty much recognisable in both.

Ashley Madison has since released statements about the renewed security of their website but the new images posted by Gawker has proven that things are still not all that safe. Anyone who has a free (even unverified) account with the website can still pull up photos, even for those who have apparently deleted their accounts.
