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.

    The news of it happening doesn't land like the video of it happening does.

    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

    I really hate their friends in the video. They’re all aware their friends are piece of shit cheaters, and they find it funny. “Haha we’re taking part in destroying a woman’s life by helping her husband cheat, hilarious!”

    Can someone explain why this is a big deal? Yeah, they cheat but did they do something before that makes it especially heinous?

    It’s not a big deal, just a fun story that blew up. Guy pops up on Jumbotron, looks horrified cause he knew he was cheating. Lead singer even comments on the fact that they’re having an affair. Turns out he was a CEO and that was his secretary head of HR (tail as old as time). Internet loves it.

    Edit: the video if you haven’t seen it. Their reaction really was wild.

    Edit 2: HR boss, not secretary.

    It's not his secretary, she's his chief of human resources. It's essentially her entire job to prevent these kinds of relationships. there are likely legal ramifications and the company is gonna take a hit regardless.

    But that's not the issue so much as the fact that the CEO then turns to social media to give the most vague apology ever and then starts attacking the general public because a "private moment became public without my consent". He literally brought his side piece to a public event with cameras broadcasting across the nation and blames everyone else that he got caught.

    It's honestly pretty scandalous on it's own, but his reaction is what makes it so delicious.

    Right, I got that wrong. Scandalous makes it sound like it’s more import than it is. Most people sharing these memes had no idea this company existed and are not even thinking about legal ramifications.

    Their reaction in the video is priceless. Lead singer commenting is hilarious. All the other details is the cherry on top.

    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.

    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...".

    Sucks that the company is named Astronomer. It's not even space based.

    There is only 1 CEO I have seen hit the ground faster than that, I don't think I am beeing too harsh.

    I wonder if they would have gotten away with it if they'd just played it cool.

    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?
