The Ashley Madison hack in August 2015 revealed Sam Rader of the family vlogging channel Sam & Nia had an account with the affair facilitating website. Sam confirmed the validity of the account and said it was made two years prior to the Ashley Madison leak, before he started on YouTube.

“This was brought to my wife’s attention, she has forgiven me for this mistake that I’ve made in opening the account. I’ve sought forgiveness from God, and he’s forgiven me. So I’ve been completely cleansed of this sin,” Sam explained in a video, which has since been deleted from his channel. Sam went on to deny that he met with any persons from the website.

Two days after the leak, Sam was removed from a YouTube event for allegedly threatening harm against other creators.
