Charles J. Orlando[1][2] (born April 18, 1970) is an American author and television personality. Orlando served as co-host for two seasons of the reality TV show Seven Year Switch on Lifetime.[3] His investigation into online infidelity was featured in the three-part ABC News documentary "The Ashley Madison Affair (2023)."

Ashley Madison Data Breach

Orlando went undercover on AshleyMadison.com and posed as a cheating husband seeking an affair[4]. He set up three fake profiles to determine which would resonate most with women on the site[5]—an investigative technique later criticized by scholars for its perhaps effective, but ultimately unethical approach to research.[6] During several interviews, Orlando highlighted the sociological implications the breach and the mob justice that served as the precursor modern-day cancel culture.[7][8]

Eight years after the Ashley Madison data breach, ABC News released a three-part documentary that delved into previously unknown details about the hack and produced detailed accounts, personal stories, and experiences.[9][10] Orlando shared details about the fallout in his own marriage, stating that he found himself enticed by his third date, and, even though he didn't commit adultery, the ramifications were the same, and his marriage was still torn apart by his involvement with the site."[11][12]

Books

Orlando has authored six books, primarily focused on relationship psychology, self-esteem, the intricacies of human connection, and the "intersection where technology and romance collide."[13]
