You know this Coldplay affair video, why were they still hugging when they knew the kiss cam was out?

It wasn’t like they were the first person that got zoomed in on
guess it shows how complacent they were

at least the partners at home know now and can bin them off

I bet they left thinking there wasn’t THAT much chance of that hitting social media, but here we are.

If the statement was put out by him, then I’m not surprised they are claiming it’s fake, it went down like a steel balloon

HoppingPavlova · 18/07/2025 11:20

The Guy was no knight in shining armour he ducked first. He got full flight mode. Obviously his marriage meant something to him still

Rubbish. His marriage means nothing to him. It’s the thought of divorce lawyers and losing a good deal of $/assets to his wife that means something to him.

I find this whole sorry saga distasteful beyond belief. Yes, a couple of cheaters were caught on camera but no one is giving a shit about their families and how finding out impacted them.

As usual is all about creating a whole heap of drama so people can lash out.

Flatulence · 18/07/2025 11:24

Any number of reasons:

They were drunk

They're stupid

They wanted to get busted

And many more reasons.

I feel sorry for their spouses; I don't feel very sorry for them. If you're relatively high profile, have an affair and yet can't even be bothered to be discreet in public then you can't be embarrassed/annoyed when you get found our publicly.

All that aside, kiss cams are awful. Some people are incredibly shy; others are at events with a relative or colleague or simply a platonic friend. Zooming in on people to encourage them to kiss is awkward as hell.

JP313 · 18/07/2025 11:26

Right? They literally do this at every concert. Pretty sure they'll have iron clad T&C's which cover this!

ItsameLuigi · 18/07/2025 11:26

Thunderpants88 · 18/07/2025 03:55

What are the chances tho? There can be tens of thousands of people at those concerts.

Slap it up both of them. And good on Chris Martin for literally calling it out.

Hope their partners wipe the floor with them both in the divorce.

Wouldn’t much fancy being either of them on Monday morning . . . .

They were in a VIP box thing so it was highly likely

I think it’s funny, but I doubt their spouses think that. Silly sods shouldn’t have reacted.

Well, apparently he's worth a billion dollars so I'm sure she will have the last laugh in the divorce once she has time to grieve the relationship.

Rewis · 18/07/2025 11:43

Also if they hadn't reacted, it would not have become a viral moment.

Blueskies3 · 18/07/2025 11:50

Such a great man, not. Couldn't even stand up, ducked down. Gutless loser.
I hate the idea of kiss cams though, I find them off.

Fridaynightfish · 18/07/2025 12:02

Imagine how much you don’t need to care, or how invincible you feel, to stand and hold your “lover” like that in such a public place. And in front of work colleagues too. Disgusting behaviour and says so much about who they are as human beings doesn’t it.

If the statement is real then the guy is an absolute fanny. Although he clearly is anyway.

Figgygal · 18/07/2025 12:02

Rewis · 18/07/2025 11:43

Absolutely agree
Noone would have shared it or thought anything of it
Silly bastards

Fridaynightfish · 18/07/2025 12:06

Yes their response to the camera created this. Although I dare say someone in the crowd would have recognised them and blown their secret

Astronomer is a DataOps company. It’s a product based on Apache Airflow data engineering pipelines. Please don’t post things you don’t understand.

Software engineer here. I don’t know DataOps but know enough to understand what the company does.

This ridiculously serious and pompous response is even better than the astronauts 🤣🤣🤣🤣

SerafinasGoose · 18/07/2025 12:14

No astronauts were harmed during the making of this caught with your pants down footage.

Hoppinggreen · 18/07/2025 12:17

Speaking of Astronauts being arrogant (not that I know if they are) I met a literal "Top Gun" once. He was the nicest sweetest geekiest man ever

PuppyMonkey · 18/07/2025 12:27

This thread is gold. Grin

Astronauts.

People correcting astronauts.

Astronauts being arrogant or not.

Fake statement quotes.

People exposing the fake statement as fake.

An actual Software Engineer.

I expect all the misunderstandings to carry on for at least another 10 pages.

ThatCyanCat · 18/07/2025 12:30

All accounts say Neil Armstrong was very self effacing. He didn't court publicity or anything and he didn't fight to be the very first man on the moon; he was content to do whatever deemed best for the mission. Buzz Aldrin very much wanted to be first but Armstrong was more senior so he was placed at the point in the shuttle where he would exit first. And Michael Collins never left the shuttle at all.

Laganlove · 18/07/2025 12:31

I heard that he’s an astronaut and she’s an astronomer

LarrySherbert · 18/07/2025 12:34

I am aware. I just didn't feel like letting the other inaccuracy in that statement slide.

ZoeCM · 18/07/2025 12:37

I still can't get over that post on the last thread claiming they could "conceivably sue" for "breach of privacy". At a stadium, one of those famously private places 😄

ItsameLuigi · 18/07/2025 11:26

Oh that's another point. They were IN THE VIP BOX AND BEING ALL HANDSY whilst kiss cam was rolling. I did not factor that very obvious detail. They're are literally looking for amorous couples likely to kiss!

And you're in the VIP box like a sitting target. That was dumb.

ThatCyanCat · 18/07/2025 12:42

I'd have thought not being on that embarrassing cam would be a benefit of having the expensive seats but clearly not.

JuniperJuly · 18/07/2025 12:45

EvangelicalAboutButteredToast · 18/07/2025 09:05

You can be forced to step down by the board of your own company so my guess is they will both disappear.

Yes but 9/10 it's the woman that has to go. Let's be real.

PicturePuzzle · 18/07/2025 12:45

I thought the woman beside the woman in the embrace was very weird. It looked like she was laughing at the whole thing. I wonder if she's delighted they were caught out.

almondcroissantsatdawn · 18/07/2025 12:46

It’s the fact that someone behind them was cheering when Chris Martin suggested it was an affair.
the whole
office knew.
