For crisis pros, thoughts on how this Coldplay CEO affair situation is being handled? I’m personally surprised no public statement has been issued.

But on a personal level, I am loving all the content around this.

The whole thing seemed odd to me. I mean, they were in the middle of a stadium with 50,000 people, anyone could have seen them. It's not like someone staked them out leaving a motel or something. Talk about having no self-awareness. I saw that tonight the Phillies even did a kiss cam bit based on it, look for the Philly Phanatic video that's on Twitter. What a world.

My exact thoughts. Crazy to be so obvious about it!

I saw a statement posted on the official LinkedIn channel a few hours ago. Honestly - not surprised that it took them longer than 24 hours to put out a statement. I am assuming they had to work through their stakeholders and family first before answering to the public.

You are right, they definitely did! I missed it when checking before posting, so that’s on me. I do feel so bad for their families

My take: the crisis is primarily a personal crisis - there are no corporate ramifications other than the reputational issues associated with the embarrassment of being caught with pants well and truly down. (Not literally thank god). The company needs to decide on a course of action room: fire them? Or keep them. No doubt they’ll decide depending on level of risk and exposure legally and financially. In this day and age, many people will view this as survivable.

She reports to him. I have no doubt there are many policy violations. Plus ethics. Might we also not loose sight of the fact that leaders are suppose to set examples. Get a room!
