We don't know her and Sam's personal relationship. We just know Stephanie's viewpoint of it. Then we saw how juvenile and immature Stephanie is which puts that viewpoint in doubt. Sam never said a word, although his actions (taking advantage of the situation with PA's) spoke very loudly. He doesn't really seem to be bothered by the breakup one bit.

We don't know if Sam treated her like a princess or like a piece of dirt. Did he have multiple affairs or no? We only ever saw is one side. We don't truly know both sides so, a lot of us fill in the blanks with and make assumptions based on our bias views.

Love Stephanie = Sam deserved it, he treated her like dirt and slept around.
Hate Stephanie = Poor Sam, she mugged him on on live TV, he must be gutted.

I'm suggesting that the reality is that they are both to blame and to just leave it at that. No need to pick sides, they were dating and now they're not. This is not a divorce, there are no children to worry about.
