Kiss Cam drama at Coldplay concert

[cmyx6go]

I'm sure you guys saw this. It's all over the news and social media.

What morons. I am not condoning nor condemning their behavior as far as the affair goes. People do what people do. But have a brain. Get a room. EVERYONE knows that every concert and sporting event has the crowd cams. Assholes. If they just enjoyed the concert without the PDA, none of this would have happened. I feel so sorry for the families. Someone posted a picture of the CEO with his wife and two sons. Could you imagine those poor boys?

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. It must be terrible for any family to be in this situation, but it's generally behind closed doors and only those involved are really aware. But for it to now be on public display for all to ridicule...it's going to be a rough few weeks of "fame" for the families

It was interesting to see his last comment on the apology letter. This type of kiss cam thing happens pretty frequently, but it's just some average folks that got "caught." When I saw this one pop up my first thought was that it happened to someone "of power" and they're going to point fingers to deflect blame. Sure enough, that last comment does just that. I'm curious what kind of waiver is in place or what the fine print is on the back of the ticket stub that is implied based upon purchasing. Does it include something that covers public display? Common sense says that if you go to a public thing, expect little privacy. But in the litigious realm we live in, are we going to see these two presumably financially well-off individuals come out ahead on the balance sheets because they did something stupid?

I'm glad they got caught, but damn - if they would have just kissed and let the camera move on - no one would have probably even noticed!

This is not shocking. When you get to a certain level in the corporate world, you think you're invincible. Similar situation happened at a company I used to work for. Company is well known to all of you bringing in billions a year in revenue. A senior VP got caught doing just this with a subordinate. Both married...or were. Both got fired. He put that subordinate in a much higher position she had no business being placed in. The guy was a total ass and to me it was karma. He was a total dick to many of us.

Some of the coverage I've seen stated how shocked they are with how careless this couple was and that being a CEO he would be smarter. Nope. I've seen many people in high level positions be total morons. Case in point. Jack Welch. I would vomit in my mouth when he was interviewed by various reporters and how they would kiss his ass as some guru. Yet, he was dumb enough to cheat on his wife who is a damn attorney.

Also, not being discused a lot, this affair is known outside of the two. That lady in the video clip that's laughing....she's the HR person for the company. And no one is talking about the affect this is probably going to have on the company as a whole. All the employees that weren't part of the stupidity are now dealing with the spectre of their dumb decisions. Because it puts into question as to how the company is being operated.

I saw a pic of that woman laughing and thought it looked like she knew them. So this was like a company event and not just the two of them out? Then that's more f'ed up that other employees knew about the affair.

Yep. it's raising speculation it was a company outing. But I seem to recall someone digging up additional dirt that the two women knew each other and came on board to this company together. So it may not have been a company outing and that this trip was just the three of them. Either way, it's messed up.

Poking around on Google, there are folks employed at Astronomer that are saying they recognize other people in the video. "I watched the video and then realized, 'Hey I know that guy. I've talked to him in the elevator at work.'"

The internet is full of fools that love to make things up, but a quick search looks to be showing that - even if it wasn't an actual company event - multiple people that are employed by the CEO were at the concert.

Funny how values and morals are plastered all over by companies, but as zx10guy put, the folks up top "think they are invincible." We heard stories at my last company of some high ups getting caught in affairs on company trips. People are going to be people, but when you make your way to the top...

Being a child of divorce, I love seeing them getting caught and ridiculed for their actions. He's an executive and she's in HR? The response at the moment they were captured on camera and the people around them makes me think that it's an open secret. I hope the spouses take swift action and get out asap.

I just read somewhere that the woman that was laughing is also employed by the company and was recently promoted to VP of HR. She is a long time "associate" of the woman involved with the CEO and followed her to several firms in the past.

Coldplay are over hyped anyway, can't see the draw to this band at all.

[ash_schwin]

Never sh1t where you eat.

Besides that being a fact, shame that the families / kids are getting dragged into this so publicly without their consent.

[ezaircon4jc]

Maybe they knew exactly what they were doing. After all, he's got his hand on her boob.

[cmyx6go]

I can't believe how this is blowing up social media and the news. It's all over Facebook and LinkedIn and the news coverage is over the top. I feel so terrible for his wife and sons. Like someone else said, these things happen but are normally private.

I missed the curfuffle.
Doesn't even look like they were kissing, the guy was feeling her up, at best.

Why does anyone give two sh*ts?

Oh, right, this drama is being promoted by the same "news" outlets that were promoting convicted sex offender for public office, and are now protecting the good memory of his convicted pedophile best friend.

Hypocracy on steroids!

What kinda bs position is CPO? Lol, so much for proper conduct. HR fail.

[Maynard]

Thank god for the OTDB so that I get to hear about this stuff before it hits CNN. This way I can feel hip to what's REALLY going on. Now about those cabbies crapping all over NYC parks....

And what an ironic bit of justice that a d'bag exec gets smeared at a Coldplay concert. Should've stuck with downloading the new Bieber album in a motel room.

[Josh-PA]

Anything to keep the focus off Jeffrey Epstein and his buddies....

exactly what I thought, they should had a ''plan'' especially when they know there's shit tons of cam, cellphone , people, press, etc.


in the mean time, this is cool this small story covers most news, that means nothing too bad happening in the world lately that stupid reporters can jump in.

for once !
