Viral pregnancy star allegedly signed up to Ashley Madison cheating site
Reports claim there were two payments made by Sam for $189 in September of 2013, the same month his wife gave birth to his second child.
The screenshots – alleged to have been uncovered following the Ashley Madison website hack – were posted on Twitter and on forum 4chan.
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.
Sam Rader and his wife, Nia, are YouTube vloggers who share daily videos that tout their Christian values of fidelity and family.
Hours after it was revealed that YouTube sensation Sam Rader had an Ashley Madison account, he took to the web to clear the air once and for all in a new video post titled “Forgiven”.
“As you may have seen, my name has been associated with an Ashley Madison account website made for spouses who want to have an affair”, a somber Rader, with Nia by his side, says to the camera.
“I did create the account, I created it two years ago. This is an issue that is in our past this was before I got onto YouTube”. She has forgiven me for this mistake that I made and opening the account. “I’ve sought forgiveness from God and he’s forgiven me, so I’ve been completely cleansed of this sin”. 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.
Some of you are questioning my faith and, um, me being a Christian and doing this. Mr Rader recently quit his job to focus on vlogging full time.
Just days after announcing their pregnancy online Sam and Nia lost their baby. Sam and Nia are reportedly appearing at a video blogging conference in Seattle.
The couple achieved viral success earlier in the month with a video of Mr Rader surprising his wife with the good news of the impending third child after he secretly did a pregnancy test using urine from an unflushed toilet.
