Romance, scandal, fake statements, misidentification of a friend/coworker that still hasn’t been corrected, memes,

It’s crazy how these people went from basically unknown to very famous in hours. This is especially true for the wife of the CEO who had YouTube videos with her name saying “power move” in less than 24 hours.

It’s unfortunate but very entertaining.

This is a modern day metaphor for the “no real ules for the wealthy at play” versus the rest of us - our turn to laugh.

But the CEO angle definitely added fuel. And the head of HR?

This is a company that didn't have a Wikipedia entry until 2 days ago (and is now being discussed for deletion, on the grounds that "CEO had an affair with head of HR" is not a true indication of importance). It has around 350 employees. So that might be notable in a small town, but it's not like this is something important like, say, a hospital. I'm not sure a CEO of a 350-employee company is actually a "billionaire". And "we saw our work colleagues conducting their affair" isn't that amazing in a 350-member workplace.

People say "but it happened at a Coldplay concert". Yeah, but they're a bit of a "legacy" act these days. "Mylo Xyloto" is their last album of which I've definitely heard, and that came out in 2011 (maybe 2015's "A Head Full of Dreams??).

I think this shows that people are desperate for a bit of old-fashioned gossip, below the level where PR teams can fashion it, and where there are no consequences for the readers.

Still a CEO and head of HR caught in public by the cameras is hilarious on several levels.

My initial thought was that they were human beings and deserved a little privacy and compassion, but they are a billionaire and a hypocritical HR director. Let'm rip.

But I could be wrong.

I swore I saw somewhere he was a billionaire, but I just checked again and he is not.

I wouldn't even call it misinformation. It's just people saying things.

The HR lady is currently married: Apparently untrue. She's divorced
The second woman in the video worked at the company: Company denies it
CEO issued a statement: False. It was fabricated

And there's more

I'd hate contributing to misinformation.

caught on camera and spread across the world.

😂😂😂

Statler & Waldorf may be taking it a little too seriously, but over here in the cheap seats, we probably laughed at it more than we should have.
