It’s the bizarre celebrity-meets-scandal story no one saw coming. A high-flying tech CEO — recently arrested in connection with a corporate fraud investigation — has now publicly demanded a personal apology from none other than Coldplay’s Chris Martin.
The strange request comes after a viral kiss cam moment at a charity concert last month, where the CEO was filmed leaning in to kiss a mystery woman in the crowd. Within hours, the clip spread across social media, sparking speculation, memes, and heated debates. According to the CEO, the incident “snowballed” into unwanted media attention that damaged his reputation and led to pressure from investors — all, he claims, because Chris Martin “encouraged” the audience to look at the big screen.
But if he expected sympathy, he got something else entirely. At Coldplay’s latest show in London, Chris Martin broke his silence — and his response has fans in stitches. “We just play music,” Martin told the crowd with a grin. “What people do on the kiss cam… that’s between you, the person next to you, and maybe your lawyer.” The audience erupted in laughter, with clips of the moment racking up millions of views overnight.
While the CEO’s legal troubles continue off-stage, online commentators agree: in the court of public opinion, Chris Martin just stole the show.
