Taekman’s Ashley Madison Admission  – ARTICLE

Josh Taekman, husband of "The Real Housewives of New York City's" Kristen Taekman, has spoken out about his account on the Ashley Madison cheating website.

"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," Josh said in a statement to Access Hollywood.

Adding, "We both look forward to moving past this and getting on with our lives."

According to the Daily Mail, a credit card registered to Taekman was used for 62 payments to the website over the course of three years.

Initially, Taekman denied knowing about the account, telling The Daily Mail, "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. It is what it is but somebody is definitely fraudulently using my name and number."
