In the wake of Josh Duggar’s latest scandal, some interesting things happened. Once Gawker discovered that Josh’s Ashley Madison accounts were attached to an email account belonging to “joesmithsonnwa,” everyone began searching to see if that email was attached to anything else. Funny story – Josh probably does/did have another Facebook account, where he was “friending” strippers and the like, but not only that, he was almost definitely on OKCupid. Gawker reported on that first – go here to see.
I’ve borrowed some of the screencapped images of his account before it was deleted. It was deleted as the Ashley Madison thing blew up. As you can see, while Josh probably filled out the profile somewhat truthfully (except for the fact that he was married), the one big lie was that he just used some random guy’s photo for the profile. Except the guy isn’t so random – he’s a DJ in Hollywood named Matthew McCarthy. And McCarthy’s pissed that Josh Duggar dragged him into this mess.
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 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.
It would be beautiful if this guy sued Josh. It would be amazing if somewhere, somehow, Josh had to go to court over something having to do with his rank hypocrisy. While the Duggar clan has been crying poverty ever since TLC dumped their asses, I still feel like Jim-Bob and Michelle made a nice little nest egg for themselves during their time with reality show stardom. It would be difficult to see how McCarthy could sue the whole family though, his best chance would be to just sue Josh and see what happens.

I hope he is sued………….
Me too. I feel that Josh has skated through all of his crimes without any real consequences. At the very least it feels like identity theft too me. Since the legal system can’t seem to touch him, maybe suing him and making him pay will be some sort of justice.
I hope this dude sues the cr@p out of Josh Duggar. It couldn’t happen to a more deserving person! No, it’s not the jailtime he deserves for being an incestuous child molesting POS, but it’s some kind of karma, anyway.
I don’t know if he can sue since the photo was just out there in Cyberland. Might be difficult….unfortunately. The poor DJ, just trying to make a living and this scumbag steals his identity. Josh seems to get scummier and creepier by the day. I look at him and he has used car salesman written all over him, the ugly suit, the pudgy sweaty face, the fat body and the receding hairline.
A spider trapped in his own web of lies. Wow. Just. Wow.
Copyright infringement, maybe?
I think its more a cause of fraud and slander – the poor guy lost work because of what fat boy did.
The Duggar Family- that gift that keeps on giving.
Libel, maybe. And definitely identity theft.
I know the guy said he lost a job over this, but why in the world would a DJ lose a job over having Duggar use his photo? The pic wasn’t associated with the AM acct correct? Just the OkCupid one. It’s not like DJ’s have a job where they need to be thought of as super moral.
In no way am I defending Josh Duggar, I hope karma finds its way to him, and I do hope that this guy finds a way to sue the pants off of him, just not sure the reason given would be valid in court.
@ MrsB
One example is if the job involved a celebrity-hosting party. One wouldn’t want the DJ and the Duggar sex scandal to grab attention away from the celebrity(-ies) who’s promoting the party.
When you google “random guy” his picture is the second or third one that comes up. So I hope it’s
Random Guy ©
It is copyright infringement, the guy owns his photo, but my understanding of that is it’s very hard to get anything back on that. A family member had some artwork used by others online and was able to get it all taken down and stopped, but it wouldn’t have been financially worth it to go through the process of suing them, since the damages were very minor. But if you discover an image of yours being used elsewhere, it is technically a copyright infringement and you can send DMCA forms to get it taken down.
Because this has cost him work though, he maybe has a shot! I hope he goes for it and sues the crap out of him. That turd was running a lobbying group in DC for a few years I think, you know he was making some money.
And this is why I only use cropped pics from my paintings as my identity profile pics. Those were made by me and therefore absolutely copyrighted, plus, I don’t like strangers knowing what I look like.
I only do the social networking on the web for the sake of my work and the causes I support, so there’s that too.
But still, all you will see of me online is my work – cropped small for those little boxes.
“Do you feel there are any circumstances in which a person is obligated to have sex with you? Yes.”
Ew. I’m not surprised, considering what we know, but still.
I’m glad such sites include questions like this. You can weed out the creeps straight away.
Yikes. That grabbed me, too. I never online dated, but do people really do this? Try to find dates while proclaiming themselves potential rapists?
I still can’t wrap my head around that one. a LOT of guys would agree with him but I can’t see any woman agreeing with that stance.
“oh, potential rapist?…THAT’S the one!”
People who have been on the site said (in comments to the Gawker story, well worth skimming them) that you can choose to answer whatever questions you want and also make up your own. They say it’s very useful for screening guys – apparently the jerks really do reveal themselves as he did, because they don’t think there’s anything wrong with their beliefs. It’s definitely him – same user name as his e-mail on the cheating site, to which he has already admitted. The answers to questions grabbed via screenshots fits him so well also- very openly creationist, says he’s a serious Christian, etc. That was his account, I’m convinced. Nice that he’s in trouble for stealing the photo, too bad it caused real trouble for the guy in the photo.
Yup. I did online dating for a while and that would definitely be a deal-breaker.
De is right that this is an easier way to weed out the creepers. Far more effective than meeting some random at a bar who could easily hide his douchebaggery.
That was the first thing I noticed when I read about this on Gawker. We already knew he was a creep from what he did to his sisters, so no surprises here.
The answer to the “atheist” question is rich. Apparently, being a so-called Christian didn’t give him a moral framework.
Seriously. Thank goodness he’s not an atheist! How much worse would he be then????[/sarcasm]
It’s amazing how proud people are of their beliefs and given the right platform they’ll tell you all about it. They see nothing wrong, so there’s no motive to hide their opinion. What was it Oprah said? People will tell you who they are, just listen. So, so true, and even more so on the faceless internet.
@De, I remember Michelle Duggar getting some heat for stating in an interview that one of the ways to keep your man happy is to never deny him sex, so it figures that their son would feel the same way.
Her exact words: “In your marriage there will be times you’re going to be very exhausted. Your hubby comes home after a hard day’s work, you get the baby to bed, and he is going to be looking forward to that time with you. Be available. Anyone can fix him lunch, but only one person can meet that physical need of love that he has, and you always need to be available when he calls.”
They gross me out so bad. I’ve never even seen the show but just reading about them makes me feel disgusted.
I used to watch the show and she made it very clear that she was always available for sex . The older children were also aware that mommy and daddy were having some “alone time” as they kept the children away while JB and Michelle were getting it on. I remember one episode when Jessa talked about how cute it was that her Daddy was always hitting on her Mommy.
Ick. Ick. Ick.
Vomit.
The answers to those questions….my word.
“Tall, dark and……a straight up raging hypocrite with major issues who really should be in jail for violating my sisters but hey now I am out trying to cheat on my wife instead. Call me. — There I fixed it for you Josh. You’re welcome.
Even though it may not be the justice Josh most definitely deserves, I pray this guy sues. At least he will be held accountable for something!
I can certainly see why he wouldn’t use his own picture, but how would he explain when the “date” showed up that he was a completely different person? Or do you think this guy resembles him? Maybe in a circus mirror, you fat faced liar.
omg I was just going to post that. I don’t get it? how can you fake that?
circus mirror, lol
There is a slight resemblance but not enough to pull off this poorly planned identity theft. Unless he was going to appear for the date in a body cast including the face, this is an example of his barely none existing IQ.
Right? I don’t get it. Imagine the disappointment when his date saw the Pillsbury Doughboy instead of the fit dude in the pic.
As someone who’s done online dating, I can tell you that you should never hang a lot of hope on profile pics. Fancy filters, older pics, and sometimes fake pics—all very deceptive.
I hear ya – the same goes for profiles, the say one thing but really mean another. I had one guy who lied about his height – he was least 2 inches smaller than me in person and I’m almost 5’6″ (i was wearing flats and i still towered over him). In his profile he said he was 5’9″.
I learned to take dating sites with a grain of salt and a sense of humour – u really don’t know what you are getting till you meet them face to face.
You have the right attitude about online dating for sure.
I’ve been the victim of height lies numerous times myself as height seems to be the most common thing that men lie about.
It can be really hard to gauge height from pics of the guy alone, with no people around him or other frame of reference.
Happened to me once with a guy who said he was 5’9″ (apparently yhat’s the magic height for short dudes) but in reality he was about my height (I’m 5’4″). Shame because he had a cute face but he was just too tiny for my taste.
I’m 5’6″ and my ex was slightly shorter than me in bare feet. He always claimed to be 5’9″ so I think it is the magic number for short guys.
Most people with on-line dating profiles lie. They lie about their weight, age, height – what have you. My husband and I met on a dating site, and we had horror stories! Thank God I found him (cuter in person even than in his photo)!
That actually happened to me once as well! I was signed up on a dating site, was chatting with guy for a while. When we finally decided to meet, he sends me a message saying “let me send you my picture” which I thought was strange, because his profile already had a pic! When he sent me the pic, the pic was of someone completely different- I went nuts because if a guy lies about this, who knows what else he lies about? I cancelled the date and blocked his email address and phone number. Weirdo.
Creep-y. Glad you cancelled. Who knows what else he forgot to mention. Oh, I said I was an investment banker? I meant murderer. 😢
Radar (I think) says one of his Facebook friends is a webcam porn worker. Maybe he was on OK Cupid for something similar–not to meet in person but to get women to sext him and send him sexy pictures.
@GNAT, I was just going to post the same. What in the world did he think he was going to do here? He is really delusional if he believes he looks anything like the man in the picture he stole or that he can be described as “tall & dark.”
Oh Bunny Mares For Jesus baby God In A Manger I Hope You Make this happen for me, Continue this Manna of shade and hypocrisy uncovering In baby Jesus’ name Amen!
Bunny Mares for Jesus Baby God in a Manger!
Testify
If Josh went to the trouble of making up a profile to meet a woman on a dating site, why would he use someone else’s photo? How would he explain that if he actually met someone in person? Either he was just looking for phone sex or he really wanted to be found out and throw his marriage away. If he has met anyone it will probably be someone from his time in Washington. I am just surprised no woman has come forward yet
Who’d want to publicly admit touching that gross perv?
He was using a false name, and his own photo would be too recognizable because of the show. His mistake was not using some free stock photo. He grabbed this one off the guy’s Facebook page, I think. There is enough of a resemblance that he could just say he gained weight, maybe had been injured and couldn’t go to the gym for a while. Not sure how he would explain the height… But considering how much people here on CB sneer at shorter than average men, maybe guys lie about that a lot to get past the prejudices.
i think that profile was to get pictures and flirt with girls and the Ashley Madison was probably more for actually cheating.
Probably claim that he was so famous he had to use a fake photo to avoid the flood of gold diggers and whores who’d be flocking to meet him. The amoral hussies.
Imagine arranging to meet the guy in the photo, and instead a Duggar shows up. #verydisappointing
His ego is larger than his head. Did he really think he wasn’t going to get found out. I’m curious where and when he did all his dirty work. Probably as Anna prepared for labor still thinking it would be televised. Yipes
I find it interesting that Josh lied in these profiles about being a university graduate. He obvs feels inadequate about how he was raised by his parents in too many ways to have a healthy future.
Or else he put that because he is smart enough to realize that not having at least a bachelor’s degree would be a turnoff to many women in that area.
Or maybe he graduated from clown college and forgot to tell us?
I also read that Anna and josh haven’t paid to their taxes in four years. They owe 9k and Josh lied and said it had been settled.
Spending a grand on an affair was way more important.
I hopefully the IRS comes after them.
Oooh, interesting. I just posted above, this guy had to have been making some money. He was running (I think) that Family whatever lobbying group in DC, and I don’t think they exactly get paid minimum wage.
I was mistaken, he owes $14k not 9k.
I think the duggar children are about to learn that it’s not easy to pop out child after child and support them all. Health insurance and medical care alone costs a small fortune. Not to mention they’ve all become accustomed to their current lifestyle.
I think his biggest lie was “hitting the gym”.
LOOOOOOOOOOL
Haha
Too funny.
I also laughed at I’m really good at Humor – Well yes but unintentionally.
It was hitting the gym and finding places to eat. Big mistake because people concerned with maintaining a fit body go hike,swimming, walk-ing,running etc. Plus they cook their own food to makes sure its prepared a certain way so they can reap the benifits of the nutritional value of the meal . Not finding the next eatery after doing twenty minutes on the treadmill.
This DJ definitely has the right to sue! Imagine if a philanderer used your photograph to lure people for sex online. I would be so upset and embarrassed that anyone would associate me with this kind of person. This can easily damage someone’s reputation and even ruin his or her life. What if an employer decides to Google search this guy and just got a million sites related to the Duggars, OkCupid, and the Ashley Madison website. Some people might not even bother to find out if this guy is innocent or just part of this messed up family and scandal. This guy deserves a lot of money and I hope he takes Josh Duggar to the cleaners.
Really good at humor? Obligated to have sex with you? Shudder…
What do we think his screen name is supposed to mean? I mean I get that it’s all made up, but to suggest what – “Joe Smithson NWA”? Joe as in average, Smithson seems obviously inspired by the Smithsonian Institution, and then…?
NWA = in Washington.
Shows how much of a rube he is. Anyone who has lived in D.C. knows to use D.C. or the District.
NWA = North West Arkansas
The Gawker comments had some theories about the name. Joseph Smith was one of them (Mormon founder), but that seems a stretch. More likely it was just the common name Smith altered to Smithson (son of Smith). The last part is the common acronym in the region for Northwest Arkansas (NWA).
NWA is also the name of the airport in the area. As much as I’d like to ascribe some ill-intent to that acronym, it truly is what that part of Arkansas is called.
NWA usually means the N- word which nobody except for Kanye and Jay-Z are allowed to say, x-With-Attitude
so much to correct here, so little time…
I also found this interesting: would you tell a homeless person to get a job? Yes
Just like Jesus! He’s a dirtbag. (Not Jesus. Lol)
yeah, with this group it’s “what would Jesus do?” and then they do the opposite of that.
And this is why I NEVER put my photo on social media! Even LinkedIn!!!
There are too many freaks and weirdos out there doing this sort of thing – people are just too trusting (and foolish) in believing who they’re chatting to online is kosher.
This does not sound like the writing of a business person as he’s trying to make himself out to be:
“I am an executive in the city. I develop strategies, meet people, crunch number around big tables and occasionally get out of my ivory towers to sleep”
What are you talking about? I crunch number all day long!
Number is a very tasty snack. Vegan and gluten-free.
Lol! This is extremely vague. If he was smart he would have cut and paste a real job description. This is how you know old Josh never had a real job. Obviously something daddy got for him through friends. He’s like Jethro from the Beverly Hills Billies. I
If Jethro wanted to be a movie producer he’d paint a on a big poster reading MOVIE PRODUCER and would put it in front of the house.
That’s a child’s description of work! “I go into a big building and I have a big office and we have meetings and then I go home.”
True. It’s like he’s making things up from what little he knows.
I think he meant to say “I develop strategies TO meet people (aka women).”
Wow, so much to unpack. Let’s see, creationist nutjob who believes in obligation sex, and answers the question about what kind of entertainment/hobbies he has with “I don’t really watch TV.” That made me laugh out loud. I feel like watching Breaking Bad would make the Duggars have a collective stroke. Do they read/watch/listen to anything that isn’t approved by the QFM? They just aren’t…living in the same world as the rest of us. Not that we all have to have the same beliefs and like the same things, but when you cannot engage in the world in any way, I worry about you. I know people who are very observant of religion, and yet they can still deal with the goings-on of the wider world. I feel like the Duggars can’t handle anything.
Hmm. But maybe his naivete was his undoing, and I can’t be sorry about that.
gurl, go get ALL that fundie money
and i hope the J Dugs pretend they dont have anything so they have to prove all their accounts and receipts and what not
I hope he gets sued and loses every dime he every made. These Duggars have to disappear.
Great now I can do ‘E P I C F A I L’ ‘face-palm’ and ‘head-desk, head-desk’ all at the same time, he must be as mad as a box of frogs to believe it’s ok to do this stuff. Either that or as someone (I think it was Kiddo) pointed out, this is his kink, breaking the ‘rules’ of his cult is actually how he gets off because he’s basically a twisted little wanker. Hope the DJ sues him from here to b*ggery and back.
Can we do it with a GOD voice while re-enacting it Monty Python style? Like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZ42IMu7HIQ
Sorry ladies – I’m in that kind of silly mood today.
That’s what this story needs – sound effects!
Let’s not forget this either. It’s so fitting the situation
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrRZVCg31fE
The DJ really should sue for his own sake, since the publicity will make it clear that he had nothing to do with this. He still will have the problem that some clients just don’t want the negative publicity of the story tagging along with him, though, so he will lose more jobs in future. He really does deserve compensation in this case, real financial damage has been done now and in the future.
Squirrel and GopherBJ must be so very proud of this upstanding Christian family man they have raised. He was doing the work of Jesus and trying to find his own Mary Magdalene to set right and show the path of Jesus. Josh couldn’t use his own name and picture or the jezebels would turn away from Josh’s holy message.
That DJ needs to open his heart to Jesus, voice his forgiveness to Josh, and be grateful he got to play a part in Josh’s ministry to those perfidious wenches
The sh** storm around this one just gets bigger and bigger doesn’t it?
Poor Matthew. I would sue that Pillsbury Dough Boy perverted back of barf and lies til he had no choice but to live in Mamma and Papa Duggars attic room. And then I would go after Mamma and papa Duggar and their nest egg of iniquity. God, I pray that all of the women in this clan just come to their senses and leave these man hawgs to launder their own boxers and turn on each other like the rats they are. Amen.
Could this guy be any MORE of a skeeze?? I hope he IS sued. Gawd I don’t even know if his wife is smart enough to be embarrassed by all this but rather proud she is pregnant with this man’s baby. I can’t get my head around a-n-y of it …
1, Thank God he’s not an atheist or else he’d have spent his whole life not living within a solid moral framework.
2. Telling homeless people to get a job? So when’s the last time Josh and his family hired a homeless person? Because ALL homeless people don’t have any other issues that got them into being homeless besides not wanting to work, right? In the right-wing Christian world, Jesus went around demanding payment up front for healing, charged people for the fish and loaves and water-from-wine (AND expected a 20% gratuity), and passed around the plate during his Sermon on the Mount.
3. I don’t think modern primates would want to be associated with people like the Duggars anyways. Josh might get to eyeing the younger chimps.
4. Josh thinks there are times when females should be obligated to have sex with him. Good going, Duggar parents. Those ‘counseling’ sessions with the pedophile cop and the sexual harasser camp director and the life-long enabling really fixed him for good, didn’t it.
So it seems like Josh offers up half-assed apologies ONLY AFTER he gets caught. I’m sure there’s plenty more he’s not confessed to which he’ll never feel bad about or ever apologize for.
Hey Anna, don’t forget. This is ALL YOUR FAULT. Accept the blame and have more sex and kids with him. Because that’s what Jesus wants you to do. (sarcasm)
Give a self summary :
My Dad’s rich.
What am I doing with my life:

I’m really good at:
Blaming everyone for my mistakes. But its really the devil testing me. He’s evil.
What do people like about you?:
I’ll get back to you on that .

When can we contact you:
After my wife and kids are asleep.
Ha ha ha ha ha! My atheist ass is a hell of a lot more moral than his, apparently! I don’t cheat on my spouse or believe there are appropriate times to molest and rape people. What a clueless ass.
GOOD! I hope he does get sued.
I just started watching the show “Catfish,” and I can’t believe how many people really think that it’s OK to steal other people’s pictures and pretend to be them. This needs to become something punishable by law so that it stops because it IS a form of identity theft. I’m digressing a bit here, but the first episode I saw of “Catfish” had a woman who stole another woman’s photos, including photos of her family and underaged niece. She essentially stole this woman’s whole life.
As for the guy whose picture Duggar stole, what if this had affected his marriage, his employment or his reputation in some serious way? This sort of thing really needs to be handled more seriously, especially when we live in a world that revolves around the Internet and technology and we all know that these days whatever one puts on the Internet is always subject to be looked into before they’re hired or during a background check. People should never have to deal with the backlash from some crazy person stealing their identity on the Internet.
The guy has said it’s already affecting his employment, a club didn’t want to hire him because of his involvement with the scandal. If that’s true, it’s incredibly unfair to him, and he absolutely should sue.
That might be too, because people hear that name and think …where have I heard it before? Oh yeah, Jodi Arias’ sneaky friend. But the last name is spelled differently, not the same one.
They’ve found three accounts he set up solely to troll for sex, just by applying the Ashley Madison email and username to two very obvious and easily unravelled places – OKCupid and Facebook. So now I’m wondering how many others just haven’t been located, because there are a lot of dating sites out there.
Free Jinger says there’s another Twitter account too.
Unbelievable!!! A Tiger never changes it’s stripes, does it???
Eff Josh Duggar and a double one-finger salute to both Jim Bob the Creeper and Mousey Kool-Aide drinking Michelle Duggar!!!
These 3 hypocrites modern-day society has NO USE FOR! Or the Quiverfull Movement for that matter.
I’m thinking there’s more and that he’s been doing his best to close down his accounts one by one.
Oh, please, SUE!
Guess M and JB may finally NOT be in the mood to multiply.
May their future be filled with audits and home visits, which they cannot pawn off to their older kids to handle for them.
Yes, Jim Bob might need to learn how to put a condom on. This might be a wakeup call for them, reminding them that the money won’t always come rolling in. This will affect donations also to their home-based church, unless enough people feel sorry for the family.
