Cheating CEO Blames Coldplay Jumbotron for Exposure?! 😂 #ColdplayGate
Okay, by now we’ve all seen the cheating CEO who got exposed at the Coldplay concert. It’s one of the most hilarious things that united the internet – left, right, center, everyone came together to meme on this guy! Which is kind of cool to see in these divided times.
I’m not going to dunk on this guy too much because I feel like there’s nothing I can truly add to the conversation; these memes have been pure gold. But it’s his response that really gets me. For those who don’t know, this CEO was with his HR head at the Coldplay concert. The camera panned to them, they were cuddling, and then they saw themselves on the big screen and reacted in a way that only invited suspicion. Like, everyone knew they got caught because of how they reacted! If they’d stayed cool, no one would have thought twice, and it probably wouldn’t have even made the internet. But because they acted the way they did, we all knew something fishy was going on.
The funny thing was his response. He started off great, saying, “I take full accountability. I failed my family, I failed my business, I failed myself. I’m going to try and be a better person. I’m going to take some time to reflect and do right by everyone.” But then he finished with a “but.” He said something like, “Putting me up on that screen and exposing me was not cool.” He was basically blaming the Jumbotron for exposing him! I respect wanting some privacy, but at a very public concert?
I can’t imagine how high on life you have to be to start off so strong, like, “Yeah, I messed up. I’m giving up 50% and I’m going to lose this divorce case and my house. I understand that. I accept that. I take full responsibility.” And then follow it up with “But y’all who control the cameras and put it on me, you need to take some responsibility and accountability, too, because you don’t know what…” Oh, brothers. What times do we live in? You just got to accept the memes. Go with them.
I still can’t get over this. Of all places this guy thought it was safe to take his side piece – who is his HR department head – it’s a Coldplay concert! Imagine if his wife really wanted to go to the concert and he turned her down for this. That would have been wild, too. The funniest meme was, “This is why all CEOs want their freaking employees to come back to work, because they’re missing their side pieces.” Insane!
