Episode Description
What happens when a private moment becomes a global spectacle?
In this episode of Beneath the Law, Gavin Tighe and Stephen Thiele break down the infamous “Coldplay kiss cam” scandal that captivated the internet and derailed two high-profile careers.
With sharp legal insight and a touch of dry humour, they explore the complex web of privacy rights, defamation claims, employment law, and the darker side of public voyeurism.
From jumbotrons and digital fine print to shareholder liability and HR consequences, this conversation turns a 15-second viral moment into a masterclass on how the law intersects with modern morality, public shaming, and digital exposure.
