As Josh Duggar enters rehab for his various sexual misdeeds and transgressions against his family and his faith, his parents are finally making a statement of disapproval after years of covering up his messes. ExtraTV is reporting that the tipping point was a relationship with a porn star.

“We are so thankful for the outpouring of love, care and prayers for our family during this most difficult situation with Josh. As parents we are so deeply grieved by our son’s decisions and actions. His wrong choices have deeply hurt his precious wife and children and have negatively affected so many others. He has also brought great insult to the values and faith we hold dear.”

They continued their family statement, stressing that their priority is their faith and the care of Josh’s wife, Anna, and her children.

“Yesterday Josh checked himself into a long-term treatment center. For him it will be a long journey toward wholeness and recovery. We pray that in this he comes to complete repentance and sincere change. In the meantime, we will be offering our love, care and devoted support to Anna and our grandchildren as she also receives counsel and help for her own heart and future. During this time we continue to look to God—He is our rock and comfort. We ask for your continued prayers for our entire family.”

As reported last week in the Inquisitr, Josh Duggar’s facade cracked when it was revealed that he had a lengthy entry on Ashley Madison, the cheating web site, and also OKCupid. His account on Ashley Madison provided members with a laundry list of vices and ways that Duggar wanted to express himself sexually with others.

Now in Gawker, porn star Danica Dillon claims that she had two rough sexual encounters with Josh Duggar while wife Anna was pregnant. Dillon claims she met Duggar at a club in Philadelphia.

“He walked into the Gold Club like a normal patron and said he’d been a fan for a long time and has watched my career grow — he even said from before my boob job until recently — and that he loved watching my very first scene on [an adult website],” she told In Touch. “Then it got creepy.”

Dillon told In Touch Magazine that Duggar gave her thousands of dollars, and about $600 worth of lap dances.

“He was manhandling me, basically tossing me around like I was a rag doll,” Danica, whose real name is Ashley Lewis, and although the sex was consensual, “It was very traumatic. I’ve had rough sex before, but this was terrifying.”

Once again, the Duggar family is leaning on their faith to cure their son, Josh, of his deviance. Josh Duggar headed today to a faith-based rehab for his various issues.

Do you think Josh Duggar can be helped by rehab, or is this just spin control for his family?
