🔥 The Viral CEO Affair: Why We Need to Stop Watching

divorce coaching Jul 30, 2025

Recently, a video of a CEO and his mistress at a Coldplay concert went viral.
The internet exploded.

The media dissected their lives.
Fake AI-generated videos surfaced.
Even celebrities weighed in.

Just like that, real human pain became public entertainment.

I’m not here to debate who’s right or wrong.

I do want to bring light to this: The prevailing narrative around divorce is still one of hate and judgment.

We speculate about the CEO’s wife and kids.
We shame the two people in the video.
We gossip. We judge. We condemn.

And we act like we’re better.
Like we’re morally superior.

But we’re not.

Here’s the truth:

We’ve been conditioned to feed on drama, especially when it comes to divorce.

We’re taught to:

Pick sides
Cast blame
Fuel shame

And I’m here to say:

🛑 STOP.

These are real people, just like you and me.

🍃Two families are crumbling.
🚸Children are caught in the middle.
💔Spouses are grieving.
👨🏻‍👩‍👧🏼‍👦🏻 Friends, parents, colleagues—all impacted in ways we may never fully see.

What they need isn’t our opinion.

Not our judgment.
Not our clicks or commentary.

What they need is:

🌿 Space
🌿 Privacy
🌿 And most of all—healing

No matter how messy the situation.
No matter what choices were made.

💗 Healing is what matters now.

Let’s not add to the noise.
Let’s not contribute to the culture of hate.

✨ Let’s choose respect.
✨ Let’s choose compassion over condemnation.
✨ Let’s pause and ask ourselves:

Where can I take radical responsibility for my own healing and relationships?
Where have I been avoiding the hard truths in my own life?

We don’t need to hate during divorce.
We don’t even need to hate our ex—even if they choose to hate us.

That’s the work I do.

Not fueling drama.
But helping people rise with grace, courage, and clarity.

Helping them rebuild something new.
Something meaningful from the rubble.

Because no matter what happened,
It is possible to rise.

To live in alignment.
To create peace from the inside out.

So, in a world that thrives on hate and judgment.

What will you choose?
