‘Life is short. Have an affair’, was the slogan for Darren Morgenstern’s dating website Ashley Madison, which encouraged members to have extramarital affairs. He had been inspired to create the platform for adulterers after seeing a statistic that 30% of people on existing dating sites were married.

It was unsurprisingly widely criticised by many, but it was more than a decade after it went live that Ashley Madison gained more notoriety than ever after the personal information of thousands of users was released to the public by a group of hackers calling themselves ‘The Impact Team’. One of those who found his name revealed in the leak was Sam Rader, a Texas-based nurse who became a social media influencer with his wife Nia after they uploaded a video to YouTube singing a song from Frozen in the car with their young son in 2014. It went viral, being picked up by news stations and websites around the world, leading them to start their own channel. YouTube star Sam Rader speaks about his experience being exposed in the 2015 Ashley Madison hack in a new Netflix documentary (Picture: Netflix. All Rights Reserved) They became known for sharing details of life with their young family, however when the Ashley Madison leak played out, Sam knew he was in trouble. Despite doing his best to create a public persona of a committed Christian husband, he had created an account on the website with his real name and personal details after seeking ‘attention and excitement’.

Sam and Nia both appear in the upcoming Netflix documentary, Ashley Madison: Sex, Lies & Scandal, which tells the story of the hack and how it ‘wrecked marriages and destroyed lives’. However, after tuning in, many viewers have been left with a bitter taste in their mouth. He confessed to cheating on his wife Nia after the website was hacked (Picture: Sam and Nia/ YouTube) ‘So Netflix just did a three-episode long paid advertising for Ashley Madison,’ one viewer posted on X. ‘As they themselves said, it doesn’t matter if you stay in news for good reason or bad…what matters is you stay in news, you stay relevant! Shamelessly promoting cheating and infidelity..’ ‘This Ashley Madison documentary is INSANE. How do people truly believe infidelity is defensible?! Shocking,’ someone else shared. ‘The Ashley Madison documentary was the biggest waste of three hrs. So basically the CEO was cheating, a Christian vlogger was taken back by his wife and we still don’t know who hacked the website almost 10 years later,’ another added. Ashley Madison launched in 2002 with the slogan ‘Life if short. Have an affair’ (Picture: Ashley Madison) When Sam’s name was revealed as part of the leak, the couple released a video, in which he claimed he had never met anyone face-to-face or had an affair. In it, Nia said she had forgiven her husband, who also said ‘God has forgiven him and has cleansed me of this sin’. However, as Sam reveals in the three-part documentary, his secrets went ‘a lot deeper’ and the leak was his ‘tipping point’. Despite planning to ‘go to my grave’ with his deception, Sam confessed he’d actually been unfaithful throughout their entire marriage. ‘I thought having that extra sex outside of marriage would be extra exciting,’ he says.
