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).

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.

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
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
Because it's funny as shit.
Because the picture is a future meme template

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!”
I mean theyre both married. Not sure why you're focusing on just the one piece of shit.

That's the CEO and CPO, not her friends. She was recently promoted, possibly related to things like this
She's making tens of thousands more per year to be complicit. I've seen people do much worse for much less money

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.
I mean do CEOs ever actually take responsibility? Between the golden parachutes and increased salaries no matter how the company is doing, no one should be surprised by this abominations behaviour.

The infidelity is one thing but no need to insult her over her older age. /s

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.
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.

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.
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?
