The laws vary slightly from state to state, but they're generally the same over 
here.  You'd need to get permission from all parties to identify them on the 
show.  Which means either the producers paid off the cheater to get his 
permission.  Or the entire thing was staged from the beginning.


But, surely nobody would do that, just to create a salacious TV show, right?

What I've never entirely understood is what US law is with regards to inclusion 
in these kinds of shows. If you were doing this in the UK, then you'd have to 
get permission from *both* parties, otherwise at the very least you'd need to 
do a lot of blurring. If someone is doing something illegal, then it's fine to 
feature them, but having an affair isn't illegal.
