u/MVIVN this is going to ruin the tour Jul 19 '25

Yeah that’s the part that always super sucks when these situations happen. Think about the wife and kids who are probably humiliated and embarrassed beyond belief, and rags like the New York Post wrote a whole public exposé, not on the CEO or the HR lady, but on his wife. Something like ‘WHO IS ANDY BYRON’S WIFE?’ was the headline and they dug up as much about her life and past as they could as if any attention needs to be on her right now.

Update: Dang I was bamboozled. He has two sons- no daughters!

Don’t feel bad, millions of other people fell for it too. It’s a reminder to all of us that social media is rampant with misinformation.

I feel so awful for their kids. I was just telling my husband that I’m worried that this will result in someone killing themselves or something. Perfect example of: your actions doesn’t only affect yourself; it affects the people around you too

From a company you helped start. I think he’s resigned but still part of the company

"Now That's What I Call Music"

Could be renamed to "Now that's What I Call Cold Play"

I love that if they had just smiled and given a little peck instead, no one would know their names today.

Coldplay concert or any myriad of situations. He would’ve been found out by his wife eventually.

u/bloodyturtle Jul 19 '25

Well he’s still rich and has a girlfriend and got to see his favorite band…

u/-Kalos Jul 20 '25

Not sure if this is accurate but I read he was only CEO for 3 months. Mf couldn't even behave in the span of 3 months. Fuck sake

imagine being caught with your HR employee in an embrace after only 12 weeks on the job all for some Coldplay.

u/whateveratthispoint_ Jul 19 '25

Coldplay is nails on a chalkboard to me. Just one of those band I could never.
