Summary

In this week's episode, Tess takes us through the INSANITY of the website that is Ashley Madison, designed for married people seeking affairs. We go through the start and concept of the website, the CEO and his troubling, problematic language around why the website was a positive idea, and the aggressive and quite comical marketing strategy including advertisements that should have never been on air. Then, to make the episode even more shocking, we take you through the HACK of 2015, and the data leak that lead to many celebrities, influencers, and politicians being outed for using the website. Detours include: teachers being hungover, Real Housewives of New York City, and sending nudes. Sorry, Moms! Created and produced by Tess Bellomo and Claire Donald For more RAM, go here.
