Another day. Another subscriber.
Just days after "19 Kids and Counting" star Josh Duggar became the first reality star named as a member of the spousal cheating website, Ashley Madison, more names have been added onto the list. Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi's husband, Jionni LaValle, has been linked to the website, Us Weekly reported.
A source claimed that LaValle's email address matches one that was used to sign up for the website; however, there is no confirmation whether he himself set up the profile.
Earlier this month, Ashley Madison, a website designed to help married men and women find their next affair, was targeted by a secretive group called "the Impact Team." Hackers released stolen information of more than 37 million subscribers.
Despite the articles, the former "Jersey Shore" reality star is standing by her husband and father of her children. Snooki took to Instagram to comment on her husband's alleged cheating accusations and praised him for being a "humble, respectful, and loyal" person.
"This morning when I got a call from my publicist that a story was going to be printed on my husband 'allegedly' signing up on Ashley Madison, I laughed and said let's not even comment and give the story any juice, because it couldn't be any further from the truth," she captioned a photo of her and LaValle dancing on their wedding day. "But now seeing how it's the 'news of the day' and everyone is wondering what I think about it - here it is. Jionni is the most humble, respectful, and most loyal soul I know... that's why I married him." Snooki called her husband a "stand up guy" who loves "his family more than anything in this world."
Snooki bashed the tabloids for printing false stories, calling the accusations "absurd." "I can see if there is proof in the story to make it legitimate, but to accuse my husband of something he had no idea about... HOW IS THAT LEGAL? I really didn't even want to acknowledge this absurd story, but when my family is being bashed for no reason - mama bear is gonna say what's up," she continued. "No, my husband didn't sign up on that website to cheat on me. Honestly, if he wanted to cheat - he would go out and do it. Not sign up on a website and pay for it. Jionni is a good guy and doesn't need his name being tarnished. Nor does our family. We did nothing wrong to deserve this. So with all of this said, I love you babe. And even though I'm a pain in your ass, I know you would never cheat on me. Especially on a lame ass website."

Along with the LaValle cheating accusations, Josh Taekman, the husband of "Real Housewives of New York City" star Kristen Taekman has admitted to having an Ashley Madison account, but said that he never had an affair. As previously reported by HNGN, Taekman signed up for the website in June 2011. The two have been married for 10 years and have two kids together, Cassius, 6, and Kingsley, 3.
"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," he told People. "We both look forward to moving past this and getting on with our lives."
As for his wife, a source told E! News that, "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."
Last week, Gawker reported that Duggar had had two accounts on the cheating website and paid close to $1,000 for extramarital affairs. He later released a statement confessing to being unfaithful to his wife, Anna.
"I have been the biggest hypocrite ever," Duggar wrote. "While espousing faith and family values, I have secretly over the last several years been viewing pornography on the internet and this became a secret addiction and I became unfaithful to my wife."
