She worried about the attractive 45 year old with money.

Do you have this 45 year old's name and number? Asking for a friend.

The ruining someone's life wasn't done by anyone in this thread. It's from the people who posted it, subsequently called them out and then circulated it widely and amplified it. 

Coldplay knows they have massive reach, those people obviously didn't wanna be on camera, and putting them on blast after was not cool. What if they were not cheating and were married? It's a weird fucking thing to do regardless if it's actually an affair or not. Posting it on the internet is also fucking weird as shit. 

If they didn't want to be on camera, maybe stay home...

I get your point, but it's also 1000% preventable.  There is no expectation of privacy there.

ahhh.  We disagree, so I'm dumb/ unenlightened/ unaware.

 

LOL.  My favorite play from that book.

 

Homeboy and homegirl had complete control of where things were headed.  Until they did not.  We get to point and laugh because they made bad choices. They also publicly claim to be leaders of people.

  It's on them 100%.  Their bad judgment is on full display.

There's something happening here
But what it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gal over there
A-telling me, he got to beware

I think it's time he stop
Children? what's that sound?
Everybody look she's going down

His life is hardly ruined.  He either works it out with the wife or not, that's hardly a ruined life.  Divorces happen all the time; he's a CEO (not his first gig either), plenty of cash, he'll land somewhere on his feet and he'll either be married or not and have a lot less in tbe bank account, but its not like divorce/cheating is life ending.

I wouldn't call his life ruined but it's far from ideal that a CEO for a <500 person (I assume) company gets publicly caught in a lie. Any company that is actively or potentially needs to raise funds, won't want to touch this guy as CEO. 

Do you want a private equity firm asking your CEO how he paid for his trysts with his HR mistress? Was it with company money or his own? Was it restricted to concerts and motels, or did it include trips as well? What other liabilities is he opening up? Invest $5m in any company run by this guy, and be prepared that some of that will be siphoned off to pay off his conquests.

My wife and I were chuckling about this.  And goddamn, the hubris.

We said imagine if one of us was having an affair.  Then, we take our affair partner out to dinner at a big public restaurant in downtown Austin.  Or we go to a UT football game together.  And we're not just together, we've got our arms wrapped around each other.  Dude.  We are GOING to be seen by someone we know.  It's inevitable, we're playing with fire.

Going to a concert with 10s of thousands of people there.  SOMEBODY was going to spot y'all all over each other.  This was a whole lotta "we're big shit, so consequences don't happen to us" going on.

What the fuck did coldplay do here? Or are you saying that showing people at any public event (concerts, sporting events, etc...) should be banned? WTF?

OK explain it to us. Beyond the fact that the internet is, and always has been, a medium to massacre people who fuck up by laughing at them through funny memes. What is unique about this? Even if the dude is in an open marriage, I dont think CEO's are supposed to banging their subordinates, so dont pull this shit in public if you dont want to get caught. What a strange issue to even give one fuck about.

These interactions that Chris Martin has with fans appears to always be filmed by concert goers and posted on Tiktok/Instagram/Youtube. A couple of weeks ago I saw the videos where the camera in El Paso was turned on the fans watching from a hill next to the Sun Bowl. Martin sung a quick, funny song how they watched the show for free.

My guess is that someone (or many) posted it online asking if anyone knew this guilty-looking couple. Tiktok must have an algorithm that will quickly start to spread an increasing popular video, especially for a city. And it's the type of video that you would watch 2-5 times before swiping to the next.

EDIT: Everything is filmed nowadays and if it has any interest, it's posted online. There is zero expectation of privacy in public. And now that cameras are moving into glasses, it will become even more prevalent. We're not far from a person live streaming as they walk down the street, and AI identifying each person that walks by along with info about them. "Here's John Smith, and that doesn't look like his wife with him."

Did Martin mention anything about a hand job? See that was 20 years ago, and when @Nice Guy Eddie mentions sun bowl, El Paso and hill...every single one of us on a Longhorn board thinks of the handjob the dude was getting during the game lol.

 

This is blown up 50 fold because Coldplay has the bigger reach than UTEP/Sun bowl...in 20 years when someone thinks of coldplay, we're gonan first think of this CEO and his affair now.

I'm not defending anyone involved here I'm saying it's kinda fucked up how much people make it their mission to involve themselves. 

I'm not admonishing anyone, it's objectively funny. I'm just saying it's also fucked up, both things can be true and it's not weird whataboutism to say that.

This shit is as old as the internet, a place you are presumably familiar with. But "whats going on here?" You  alluded to it upstream, the rest of us are clueless, so help us out.

There's a pretty big gap between perfection and taking your sidepiece out to a concert with thousands of other people when you're a fucking TECH CEO and of all people should know that in this tech driven world your chances of getting caught and publicly shamed over it are orders of magnitude larger these days.

Lol. We're obviously imperfect because we don't get your weird reasoning on this. Again, please explain it since you love to make declarative statements about how we "don't get it". 

Also, new motto?

We make mistakes.  Wore one black and one blue sock to work before.  Grabbed shaving cream and put it on my toothbrush. Drove to work on a Saturday when I should have been going to the store.

Taking a co-worke( not my wife) to a public venue is not a "mistake."  It's well beyond that.

I've been a people leader for more than 2 decades.  I've been married for 3.  I value both of those enterprises.  Guess what influences my big decisions?  What these clowns want influenced theirs.

I keep laughing at Brisket's well described scenario above, if I was out in town  with another woman and saw one of my wife's friends, "Hey, could you be a peach and not mention this to your friend/ my wife?"

Imma longs for those idyllic internet days when we all steadfastly refused to mock infidelity, when nobody online reacted at all, and instead we prayed that everyone involved could find peace and happiness in the future.

It's amazing to contemplate just how much Bobby Petrino wrecking that  motorcycle

Below is the woman that posted the clandestine couple’s Dumbatron fail on TikTok. 
 

y’all should take it up with her…I guess. Since she was the one who made it go viral and I guess a bunch of other people sleuthed it all out. 
 

from a corporate standpoint, with Cabot being HR I’m sure there will be some fall out there as well. A lot of do as we say not as we do in the workplace. If she’s kicked anyone in the ass at the company for similar shit then she deserves consequences for that. 
 

any way take it up with the lady below 👇

This is where I'm at on the scandale du jour. It's not just the guy having an affair, or even having an affair with some employee. She's the head of HR, and I'm always wary of those fuckers. Sure, HR is always in bed with leadership, but she's literally in bed with leadership.

Fuck going to work for that company with that CEO and that HR lady.

Schadenfreude is older than the internet, bro, it's always going to be funny to people not involved when some shit like this happens

There's funny and then there is going beyond and intentionally fucking up and putting peoples shit on blast. 

Going to a cold play concert shouldn't equal everyone you've ever known putting your shit on blast and being amplified beyond the funny part of it. 

What happened here isn't just the funny incident it's the everything after that has gone way further than that. It's not cool here and it would get you a ban stop acting like it would be cool here.

Do you really think that in that instance the Coldplay guy was thinking "I'm about to put this guy's shit on blast" or do you think he was making a joke in the heat of the moment?  You're ascribing waaaaay too much thought to what went down there from the Coldplay perspective.  

The hot chick who posted it said she did it because she thought it was kind of funny, she didn't know who those people were or that they were ACTUALLY having an affair.

At the end of the day you can't control what you can't control.  What the CEO and his HR sidepiece COULD have controlled was 1.  Not fucking around and 2.  If you are not going to do 1 not taking it out in public before they were ready to take it out in public.

Everything after that is fuck around and find out.
