Daily Mail Blind Item - The Ashley Madison Hack

A Hollywood actor, an NFL star and a top politician are among dozens of celebrities frantically calling up pricey damage limitation experts over the Ashley Madison hack. Well-known figures in the entertainment, sport and political industries are apparently phoning up experts to help them manage their reputations out of fear they will be publicly outed as cheats.

Among these stars are an actor from a recent action film, a top NFL player, a TV drama actor and a TV reality star – all of whom are male, say the sources, who have insider knowledge on the matter.
A top politician in the South, a Coca Cola executive and a former West Coast politician are also reportedly seeking out help after the cheating site – which has some 37 million users – was hacked. They have to quickly remove all ties to Ashley Madison and protect their online reputation.

‘We’ve never taken more calls or email inquiries in such a short time. Lives are getting destroyed worldwide, and people are scared and don’t want to be next.’ He added that in just 24 hours, dozens of ‘major players’ called up the firm, which charges clients from between $10,000 and $100,000 per month to ‘repair and protect their online reputations’.

One of these celebrities was apparently so distraught about the possibility that his marriage would be destroyed if he was outed as a cheat that he cried down the phone line for five minutes.

And another said he would be fearful for his life if his relatives found out about his actions. ‘One of our clients is concerned about getting killed by his family members if he is found out,’ Mr Schiffer told Daily Mail Online. ‘It’s crazy. We’ve never had so many celebrities call us in such a short space of time. It makes sense when you think about how many people are on [Ashley Madison].’
