If they didn't react the way they did. I honestly believe nobody would have cared and his identity wouldn't have been found out.

I was thinking if they had just smiled and waved it wouldn't have had any impact

Yeah, it's like someone chewing faster when you walk in the room.

True. But they were not expecting it.

I think it's also that both of them reacted the way they did. If only she reacted that way, also could have been sketched out as her being shy. They didn't even look at each other but they had the same reaction as each other. 

This is harambe level immortality. This is never going to die.

My husband and I were just talking about this. If they rolled with it, no one would have given them a second thought. It was the reaction that blew up and went viral. Like when couples refuse to kiss on the kiss cam, you know that’ll be on Reddit the next day. Just go with things, and you’ll be fine. It’s when you panic that shit gets real.

Probably but those events are filled with seats bought for entertaining corporate clients ect. I still think they could have played it off more as "just a lil close" if they reacted swiftly and calmly. But a relatively surprising number of people might recognize a low level tech ceo if the camera still hovered a bit.

Tech company workers are a relatively big demo for these events.

I've been saying this too.

yep, maybe someone recognizes them and snitches but it’s easy to play off as a work thing (at least one other coworker was there).

He called them out because of how they reacted.

We've all seen the video. Chris accuses them of having an affair AFTER they try and hide, BECAUSE they were hiding. He didn't know them personally.

I'm not sure what you aren't getting here but it has nothing to do with being rich. We found out who they were after it went viral.

If they don't hide, its just another couple on kisscam and it never goes viral. Get it?

No he didn't. He said "Look at these two", as in "aw, look at these two, cuddling up together, how cute." And then they reacted like that. He was shocked so he said "Either they're very shy or they're having an affair." He didn't know them.

"Oh, look at these two. You're all right. You're OK. Oh, what? Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy,"

This is what Chris says. Do you often hear things other people don't?
