A porn star and stripper said she had sex twice with disgraced ex-reality TV star and conservative family activist Josh Duggar in an interview published Wednesday, just hours before the Duggar family announced their eldest son was entering a long-term treatment program.
Danica Dillon, whose real name is Ashley Lewis, spoke about her purported trysts with Duggar in an interview with In Touch Weekly, the same tabloid that surfaced police reports earlier this summer showing that Duggar was investigated for allegedly molesting underage girls when he was a teenager. In Touch Weekly said Dillon passed a polygraph test during the interview.
Dillon told the tabloid she first met Duggar, who is married, in March at Philadelphia’s Gold Club. She told In Touch Weekly that she consented to Duggar’s request to spend the night with him afterward because he offered her $1,500.
“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.
But Dillion told the tabloid that her encounter with Duggar quickly grew “creepy.” She described having sex with Duggar as “traumatic” and said that he didn’t use protection. Nevertheless, she told In Touch Weekly that she had another sexual encounter with Duggar in April after her show at the Creekside Cabaret in Colmar, Pennsylvania.
The Duggar family, made famous by TLC’s now-cancelled reality show “19 Kids and Counting,” issued a statement Wednesday afternoon announcing that their eldest son had checked himself into an unidentified treatment facility.
“We pray that in this he comes to complete repentance and sincere change,” parents Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar said, adding that their son’s actions “brought great insult to the values and faith we hold dear.”
The statement did not say what Josh Duggar was entering treatment for, but he admitted last week to cheating on his wife and having an addiction to pornography after his personal information was revealed in a drove of hacked data on users of the adultery website Ashley Madison.
“I have been the biggest hypocrite ever,” he said in a statement.
Checking into a treatment facility marked the latest chapter of a tumultuous summer for Duggar. He resigned his position at the head of the anti-gay Family Research Council’s lobbying arm after In Touch Weekly first reported that he’d been investigated for allegedly molesting underage girls as a teenager.
TLC eventually pulled the plug on the Duggar family’s reality show after the parents confirmed in a primetime Fox News interview that four of Josh Duggar’s victims were his sisters.
