Kiss cam whoopsie at Coldplay concert

If he is truly so famous that anyone could spot him (I had never heard of the guy or his company) then he could have been photographed by any number of people that night and the KissCam would be irrelevant.
I don't disagree with this part at all - anyone with some degree of standing in society who conducts their affair in public at a location with so many people is asking for it. I was just simply refuting the point that likely no one would have ever noticed if they had played it off well. It only takes one person to recognize you.
 


This has to be fake???

yeah, wtf. he was doing fine until that last paragraph when he went completely off the rails.

there is absolutely no reasonable expectation of that sort of privacy at a massive public concert, you asshole.

if i was his wife i'd be even more furious after that ridiculous "apology." he's just mad he got caught and is now blaming coldplay for it, lmao.

He makes it seem like it was paparazzi with long distance lenses spying on them through a balcony window.

the CEO statement turned out to be fake.

I never get these situations. My company sponsored more than 100 concerts in my time there. Part of the sponsorship was a hospitality suite. Oftentimes my boss would show up with chicks that were not his wife. Too many times after a few drinks he would do some PDA. We were always like...does he not know how many prying eyes (and smartphones) are out there? Way too easy to get caught on camera. They just think they're indestructible and can get away with it.
He eventually got divorced.
 
How did they think there wasn’t a real possibility that they would be seen by someone who knows them? I’m sure they didn’t expect to get put on camera, but you would think they would at least assume that there is a possibility that someone who knows them might see them at the show.
Yep, just pure stupid on the part of both of them. My guess is that like so many such people (CEOs) he's arrogant and didn't think he'd get caught, but it never occurred to him that a cameraman might have some fun by putting him and his mistress up on the big screen. What made it better was that bandleader Chris Martin actually pointed it out and joked about it. Here's a hint: if you're a CEO of a billion-dollar business or a celebrity and you don't want people to know you're having an extramarital affair, don't take your side piece to a crowded, highly public concert with thousands of people with cellphone cameras and the possibility of being shown on a big screen displaying obviously romantic behavior. And if you are shown on a big screen, don't suddenly let go of her and back away like she's burst into flames. And she didn't help by looking embarrassed and turning in the opposite direction (too late, lady, your face was shown). And he should have known that would immediately go viral. For a tech CEO that was a pretty dumb thing to do, imo - and yes, I'd never heard of him until now, but as you said, even if they hadn't been caught on the screen there was always the chance that someone who knew him might be there with a cellphone camera and would put it on TikTok or some such.

Hell, even if you’re not famous/well-known, it seems dumb. I almost always run into people I know when I go to concerts.

I was talking about this with my wife last night, and we were discussing the hypothetical of what part of town within Charlotte city limits we could go out on a date with a hypothetical sidepiece and avoid running into someone we know. The only part of town where I could be almost certain that I would not run into someone I know is the University area. It’s a part of town I’ve very rarely been, I don’t know anyone who currently lives there, and I don’t know anyone who hangs out there. But then I googled restaurants in that area and realized there is nowhere in that area I would want to take a date.

Real missed opportunity to blackmail your boss for an early retirement, lol
