In Touch, which assures us all that Dillon passed a polygraph test, claims that Dillon had an affair with Duggar while his wife was pregnant with their fourth child.
“Danica says he bought $600 in private dances and then ‘asked me how would he be able to spend the evening with me’” The magazine writes. “She reveals to In Touch that Josh was violent with her when they had sex, he did not use protection and gave her thousands of dollars after their encounters.” The news of a new alleged affair and Duggar’s admittance to a rehabilitation program comes about a week after Duggar was revealed to be user of cheating website Ashley Madison.
