An Australian radio duo has criticised a famous married couple on air after they appeared on Netflix’s Ashley Madison documentary.
In 2015, the Ashley Madison data leak saw 37 million people identified and shamed after signing up to the popular “affair” dating site.
One of them was Sam Radar, a YouTube star who promotes family values and signed up for the site when he felt “bored” as a night nurse and new father.
Sam initially denied having any involvement with the site or cheating on his wife Nia, but eventually confessed to his affairs and visits to massage parlours and strip clubs.
And in the shocking interview He did it with an Australian radio station and admitted that he still thinks about other women.
The Radars, who share four children, are devout Christians and revealed on-air that “God’s forgiveness” helped them find a path to marital bliss.
Nia said the decade since the affair scandal has been the best of her married life: their relationship, including their sex life, is stronger than ever.
But radio duo Pete and Kymba slammed the couple for their claims their relationship is strong and questioned why Nia would take back a cheater after he lied about it for so long.

Nia forgave her husband and said she decided to follow God’s path which does not include divorce
“Actions have consequences and I think Nia is a very forgiving person,” Kymba said. “I don’t think you would have come forward and told the truth unless you had been caught.”
In the interview, Sam openly admitted to signing up to the cheating site after seeing an ad at work that read “Life is short, have an affair.”
“I signed up with all my real information, which was a stupid decision. I was told I was protected and I trusted that they were strictly locked down,” he said.
He added that registering on the website was the worst mistake of his life.
“Life was complicated, I had a lot of responsibilities, I hated my job as a nurse and I was looking for something exciting,” she said.
“Life is short, that touched me. Having an adventure is the answer to this boring and monotonous life.”
It’s been nine years since Sam confessed his infidelity to Nia and 14 since his last ‘betrayal’.
Nia’s decision to look beyond the years of deceit and lies left Kymba perplexed.
The radio host asked Nia if she was so obsessed with her Disney princess life that she happily drank the Kool-Aid to “keep it up.”
This infuriated Sam, who stressed that we all make mistakes and sin. He asked Kymba what makes his sin of infidelity and lying worse than her sins.
“There have to be consequences,” Kymba said.
His co-host defended his stance.
“It seems like you’re using God as a scapegoat for all the evil things you do,” he said.
Nia argued that she thought about leaving Sam when the truth came out, but she had been with him since she was 16, so she didn’t want to rush into a decision.
She said she consulted the Bible and found nothing in the religious text that told her to leave her husband for infidelity.
The couple have been together since Nia was 16 – they have four children and a hugely popular YouTube channel.
In fact, it seemed that the opposite was happening.
“God hates divorce,” he said.
“I wanted to be obedient and I couldn’t find peace in my heart by divorcing him,” she said.
The couple added that their 14-year-old daughter, who was a newborn at the time of her father’s infidelity, is not concerned about his mistakes.
She ‘thanks her mother’ for having overcome the betrayal so that she could have a ‘complete’ family.
Kymba revealed her concerns about the message Nia and Sam’s relationship could send to the younger generation.
Sam says he still confesses to Nia, after lusting after other women, that “99.99 percent of men” have the same urges.
She said young women should know that it’s okay to stand up for themselves and walk away from relationships.
Nia said their relationship is now transparent and Sam continues to demonstrate his efforts for the family.
“Sam showed real remorse, a level of remorse I never imagined I would see,” he said.
Sam admitted that he often confesses when he struggles with fidelity and added that it had been a few months since his last confession.
He admitted to being attracted to his barista, but said he stopped going to the local cafe when she “checked him out.”
Kymba wondered if the couple’s YouTube success and linked financial interests made it easier to stay together than to split up and rebuild.
Sam also said that men who don’t admit to having thoughts about other women are lying, citing that 99.99 percent of men like other women.
