(NewsNation) — Christian vloggers Sam and Nia Rader chose to restore their marriage after dealing with infidelity.
They’re featured in Netflix’s latest documentary series, “Ashley Madison: Sex, Lies & Scandal,” which follows the 2015 data breach incident of a popular dating website.
“You don’t have to divorce your husband just because he cheats on you. Redemption is real, and it’s an option,” Nia said beside her husband Sam, during a Friday appearance on NewsNation’s “Banfield.” “We have a better marriage now than ever could have imagined. There’s so much depth to it, and I really want other women to see that.”
The Netflix docuseries chronicles the rise and fall of the Ashley Madison website. The website’s promotional tagline is “Life is short. Have an affair.” The site’s former CEO, Noel Biderman, stepped down after his emails detailing multiple affairs were leaked, contradicting his previous claims of being faithfully married. His wife Amanda was often by his side in promoting the company.
The dating website for married people seeking affairs has doubled its membership since a 2015 hack that exposed millions of customers’ information, according to a former executive.
Evan Back, who served as vice president of sales at Ashley Madison after the cyberattack, said the company invested tens of millions into improved security and infrastructure following the breach.
“At the end of the day, for the two years that I worked there after the hack, there was millions, tens of millions of dollars invested into infrastructure and security,” Back said Tuesday on NewsNation’s “Dan Abrams Live.” “They have probably the most robust security of any dating platform now.”
Other notable names that were revealed as members through the hack included Hunter Biden, reality TV star Snooki’s husband Jionni LaValle and evangelical figure Josh Duggar.
