Another name has been added to the Ashley Madison hack fiasco following Josh Duggar's involvement. A "Real Housewives of New York" husband has been uncovered having an account with the online site used by married men searching for an affair.
Reality star Kristen Taekman's husband Josh Taekman was added to the list of the 37 million cheaters and more exposed by the Impact Team who hacked into Ashley Madison's site.
An insider told E! News, "Kristen is embarrassed by this entire situation. They have had their problems in the past but worked hard on them. This could be the final straw and the end of their marriage."

Fans was quick to notice that there was a brewing tension between the Taekmans which played out during Kristen's debut on the Bravo reality TV series. The interplay between the two garnered negative reactions as seen on social media. Thus, Josh Taekman is not shown in front of the camera anymore.
Perez Hilton reported that millionaire Josh Taekman's credit card, together with his correct billing address, was spent for 62 paid business dealings with cheating site Ashley Madison since June 2011 when the account was created.
Apparently, Josh Taekman has claimed that his identity was simply hijacked and denied that he's involved in any way in the scandal which rocked the world.
Taekman reacted to Daily Mail and said, "I don't understand. There's not a shot in hell that I'm a subscriber. I have no knowledge of that. This is the first I've ever heard of it."
"This is crazy. I saw it on the TV the other day about the security breach and we were laughing about it," continued Taekman. "It is what it is, but somebody is definitely fraudulently using my name and number."
According to Toofab, Kristen Taekman has yet to release a statement regarding the dragging of her husband's name into the Ashley Madison hack issue.
However, a recent update has given way to Josh Taekman's new statement which stated, "I signed up for the site foolishly and ignorantly with a group of friends and I deeply apologize for any embarrassment or pain I have brought to my wife and family. We both look forward to moving past this and getting on with our lives."
"Real Housewives of New York" Kristen Taekman and husband Josh Taekman have been married for 10 years and have two kids together.
