14 DAY TRIAL // Sam and Nia Rader, the Christian vloggers who attained international fame just a short while ago, when he “surprised” her with the news that they were pregnant after using her pee from the toilet bowl for a pregnancy test, are experiencing the downsides of being this popular. Sam Rader’s name has just been discovered among the millions to have had a paid Ashley Madison account.
Word that the website had been hacked got out in July, and just a few days ago, the hackers delivered on their promise and unloaded batches of data pertaining to the subscribers, including credit card information and email addresses. The website helps married men and women arrange hookups with other married men and women, under the tagline “Life’s short, have an affair.”
Sam Rader also paid for this “privilege.”
Sam Rader got busted on Ashley Madison
The Daily Mail reports that Rader set up an account on the cheating website in September 2013, making several payments for it through November of that same year. That would be only a short while before Sam and Nia got their first video to go viral, “Good Looking Parents Sing Disney’s Frozen (Love Is an Open Door).”
The credit card used to make the payments is listed as belonging to one Samuel Rader, with a billing address that matches the Rader’s home in Terrell, Texas, the one they’ve been shooting their vlogs at since they started posting more regularly.
Unlike with Josh Duggar, ex-star of TLC’s 19 Kids and Counting, there is no information yet on the type of women Rader was looking to meet online. However, the mere fact that he set up the account and paid for it is regarded as clear indication that he did, indeed, cheat on his wife.
Sam Rader owns up to the account, claims he never cheated
Not so fast, Rader says in a new vlog posted to the family’s YouTube account (see below). Sam owns up to setting up the account and paying for it but he insists that he did not meet a single woman through it, let alone actually go through with the act of cheating on his wife.
It was wrong to go online with the intent of being unfaithful, he concedes, but he’s only human after all and, as such, flawed. In his defense, he insists that he never acted on his initial impulse.
Moreover, he says, that’s all in the past. He came clean to his church about it and he even informed his wife, who had forgiven him. As you can see in the video below, she stands by her man.
“I did make the account. I made the account two years ago. This is an issue that is in our past. This is before I got onto YouTube,” Rader says. “I’ve been completely cleansed of this sin, and also, I need to be clear that I’ve never met with a single person face to face through that website, and that I never had an affair with anybody, ever, while I’ve been married with Nia. The account was opened out of pure fleshly desires and just sinful curiosity.”
For the record, the account wasn’t set up before he got on YouTube: the account they’re using right now has been active since 2007. It was only in 2014 that they managed to get a video to go viral.
