The most curious thing in the whole mess is the revelation that Americans actually think companies should react to this kind of thing. Like the employer would “naturally” and “obviously” have a right to invade employees’ personal life and privacy.
Do I need to know who that is? I tried looking up the name but all I can find is gossipy yelling about the two of them and Coldplay so apparently this seems to be some big deal but in general I don't think it should be the public's concern if someone has an affair (exceptions apply).
Their reactions to being on the big screen, which instigated Chris Martin's live commentary, is what's causing this video to go viral.
The point being if they hadn't had this reaction to getting caught, Chris Martin wouldn't have commented, and the video probably never would've taken off or even been posted outside of someone's private story.
If someone is having an affair, and having an affair in a public place, and the affair is between the CEO and the lead person at the company who knows better than to instigate this type of relationship (the head of HR), then this is a hilarious way to get caught.
So a simple lolcow exacerbated by belonging to a group of people that (deservedly) has image problems. Alright then.
It is more so that the singer's response to their reaction was to say she was shy or having an affair and it turned out to be the latter. That would be funny no matter who they were .
Him being a ceo was the cherry on top.
I dunno', the chain of exacerbations is pretty hilarious. Even better it's happening to a class of people that deserve zero respect.
What's weird is that when these videos first started popping up is that every one of them talked about "Astronomer CEO". I couldn't understand how they knew he was a CEO or why he was an astronomer. It turns out that Astronomer is a "DataOps platform built on Apache Airflow". That's even an area I know a fair amount about, and I'd never even heard of them. It's strange that it wasn't just "cheating couple caught on kiss cam", but instead immediately it was "Astronomer CEO".
Why do we care about this?
Is anyone involved in this, someone i should know?
The news of it happening doesn't land like the video of it happening does.

It's fucking brutal.
Oh man, so much worse. What an idiot, if they had just smiled and waved it never would’ve gone viral.
Edit: and also if they had never decided to have an affair they wouldn’t be in the situation in the first place.
if they had never decided to have an affair
Yeah, but that's too difficult. Just ask my wife.
Anyone got a mirror that doesn't require a fucking Instagram account?
Edit: YouTube short but at least it doesn't try to beg for a login: https://m.youtube.com/shorts/xL8gdhw4q5I
For me the video plays if I just close the login prompt.
Ah so it does, didn't even notice that X all detached from the login prompt like that.
You can force youtube shorts to be displayed as a normal video by replacing everything up to the last slash with https://www.youtube.com/watch?v
So in this case it's:

Edit: For some reason Lemmy won't let me put an equals sign at the end of the code block. Weird. But you'll figure it out.
Top comment on that video:
Coldplay hasn’t made a single in years but today they made two.
"Coldplay hasn’t made a single in years but today they made two." LOL
Technically they made four.
i love this comment. underrated.
Because it's funny as shit.
Because the picture is a future meme template
Can someone explain why this is a big deal? Yeah, they cheat but did they do something before that makes it especially heinous?
CEO cheats with his human resources chief and blames the general public for it. That HR chief has likely fired people for similar relationships within the company. Says the public is at fault for violating his privacy at a public event. Everyone is pissed for some reason or another.
Could have just cheated with anyone else and it would have been a personal matter, but the situation and his reaction have been pretty bad.
It's not a big deal, but it is funny how it happened. Never heard of any of these people or the company before, so I have nothing invested in this.
Oh fuck, not not the camera.... fuck fuck fuck
I wish they would maybe capitalize the proper nouns in this post. On first readings, not knowing Astronomer is the name of a corporation, I thought they were just referring to a CEO that also happened to be an avid stargazer -"What a strange detail to include...".
There is only 1 CEO I have seen hit the ground faster than that, I don't think I am beeing too harsh.
We need more ~~CEOs~~ data.
Sucks that the company is named Astronomer. It's not even space based.
Thank you for clearing this up! I, like I assume many were, was assuming this dude was a scientist.
I wonder if they would have gotten away with it if they'd just played it cool.
100%! Imagine you look up on the big screen and you see two fifty year olds swaying to some generic pop music. Nobody would've cared enough to look them up.
And they would have likely gotten away with it, if it wasn't for that pesky kisscam.
Might have also gotten away with it if they didn't completely freak out in front of the kiss cam, so everyone started thinking they were cheating and looked into who they were.
This. Entirely this.
If they had just gone "woo hoo we're on the TV thing at a concert! Woohoo" .... Like everyone expected them to, then nobody would have given a shit.
They're just people having fun at a concert.
Meanwhile, they freaked the fuck out, the guys on stage pointed it out, and everyone went full Psycho trying to figure out what was going on. And now they're in the daily dose of Internet.
GG guys. Ĝis poste
Hmm.
Does she have some decent guns or is it just the muscle being pushed up by the arm underneath?
Look at the shoulders. She's jacked.
