00:00This is officially the most viral moment of the year.
00:03Andy Byron and Kristen Cabot caught on camera at a Coldplay concert.
00:06Welcome to Ms. Mojo, and today we'll be looking at the most astounding moments
00:11when the messy private lives of the rich and famous unraveled right before our eyes, in real time.
00:16Seven months after the photos surfaced,
00:19Aldine announced that he and his wife of 11 years would be divorcing.
00:24Randall Emmett.
00:25As a filmmaker, Randall Emmett had spent years trying, and mostly failing,
00:30to get Hollywood to take him seriously.
00:33Then in October 2021, he finally got some attention,
00:37just not the kind he was hoping for.
00:39What's the worst thing you discovered about Randall post-breakup?
00:44There will be a day that we all, the truth will come to the light.
00:49At the time, Emmett was engaged to reality TV star Lala Kent,
00:53with whom he'd recently welcomed a daughter.
00:55Emmett proposed to Kent on the beach in Mexico in 2018.
00:59By March 2021, they welcomed a daughter, Ocean.
01:03It was after the child's birth that Kent said she began to notice cracks in her relationship with Emmett.
01:09But any plans for a future between the two were dashed,
01:12when Emmett was photographed at a Nashville hotel with two women who definitely weren't his fiancée.
01:17Fans who caught him in the act said he tried to duck and hide after being spotted.
01:21The pictures hit social media almost instantly and reached the eyes of Kent,
01:25who was reportedly already suspicious.
01:28Him, I mean, he couldn't even, he couldn't even go into a massage without his phone on him,
01:33and he was very funny if I would get anywhere near the phone.
01:36That should have been a huge red flag to me.
01:39She ended their relationship shortly after.
01:41Justin Timberlake
01:42When you're as instantly recognizable as Justin Timberlake, you aren't assured a lot of privacy.
01:48In 2019, Timberlake might have forgotten that while shooting the movie Palmer in New Orleans.
01:53Well, you make sure to keep yourself in chat.
01:56I would hate to have to put you back inside.
02:00Yes, sir.
02:01During some apparent downtime, he was photographed on a balcony getting extra cozy with his co-star, Alicia Wainwright.
02:07The two held hands for a while, and at one point, Wainwright placed her hand on his knee and stroked his leg.
02:13Once the pictures hit the tabloids, rumors of an off-screen romance flared up fast.
02:18People were kind of, you know, bent out of shape about this because they saw them holding hands and were unsure what was going on here.
02:27However, Timberlake quickly shut them down with a statement,
02:30blaming the moment on one too many drinks and calling it a, quote,
02:33strong lapse in judgment. He also apologized to his wife, Jessica Biel, and insisted that nothing else happened.
02:40Out there alone, I mean, we see Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake out often together,
02:44but the fact ever since this happened, they have been photographed separately.
02:47He's been on set, and she's been, you know, with her son.
02:50Leigh-Anne Rimes and Eddie Cibrian.
02:52It was on the set of the 2009 film Northern Lights that Leigh-Anne Rimes and Eddie Cibrian first crossed paths,
02:58and they seemed to have an instant connection.
03:00I have this thing I have to do with Charlene.
03:04Do you think you could take care of Rocky for a couple of days?
03:07Oh, a date, and you're trusting me with your dog.
03:10What, are we in a relationship?
03:12There was just one problem.
03:14Well, two, actually.
03:16They were both married to other people.
03:18While their respective spouses waited patiently at home,
03:21Rimes and Cibrian reportedly began an on-set affair.
03:24There was this bar that everyone hung out at after set,
03:27and I remember coming down the stairs and seeing the two of them shooting pulled together.
03:31I could just tell by the body language that everything had changed.
03:34They were even photographed holding hands and kissing at a Laguna Beach restaurant.
03:38That steamy dinner date served as both the soft launch of their relationship
03:41and the hard stop for their previous marriages.
03:44Cibrian's wife, Brandi Glanville, filed for divorce soon after,
03:48while Rimes followed suit the next year.
03:50Despite the controversy, the couple stood their ground and tied the knot in 2011.
03:55Obviously, you know, we made decisions that were not necessarily the right ones,
03:59but obviously brought us to a place where we are now,
04:02and we're happy, and we're married.
04:05Andy Hui and Jacqueline Wong.
04:07In 2019, the entertainment world in Hong Kong was shaken by a leaked taxi dash cam video
04:12that showed singer Andy Hui and actor Jacqueline Wong getting intimate during a ride.
04:16The 16-minute video was recorded in the back of the vehicle.
04:20It shows 51-year-old Hui getting a little too cozy
04:23with 13-year-old Hong Kong actress Jacqueline Wong.
04:27At the time, Hui was married to singer and actor Sammy Chang.
04:30While Wong was in a long-term relationship with actor Kenneth Ma,
04:33both stars issued apologies for the incident,
04:36with Hui admitting he had been drinking that night,
04:38but taking full responsibility for his actions.
04:41The scandal also ignited public debate over privacy laws,
04:52particularly whether the driver was legally obligated to inform them there was a camera on board.
04:57There are also questions about whether the driver had lawful grounds
05:00to collect personal data of the passengers,
05:03and if such data collection was fair to the riders.
05:06Both Hui and Wong suffered professional consequences over the incident.
05:10Although Wong faced significantly greater backlash than Hui.
05:14Tristan Thompson
05:15Throughout his relationship with Khloe Kardashian,
05:18NBA player Tristan Thompson had more cheating allegations than you can count on one hand.
05:22Perhaps the most brazen of them surfaced in April 2018,
05:26mere weeks before Kardashian was set to give birth to their first child.
05:29The vibe in the room is calm.
05:32I thought there would be way more tension.
05:35As much as I want to go off,
05:38I just don't think it's the time.
05:41TMZ leaked footage of Thompson making out with two women at a nightclub.
05:45As if that wasn't enough,
05:46he was also spotted escorting a different woman into a hotel around the same time.
05:51In response to the public backlash,
05:53Thompson issued an apology,
05:55and Kardashian, perhaps hoping he would actually change,
05:58decided to remain with him.
06:00And you know what?
06:01Me and Tristan will deal with this at a later time,
06:04because there are some things that it's deeper than being documented.
06:09It takes more time.
06:10But things seem to stay the same.
06:13In 2021, following yet another round of cheating allegations,
06:17the relationship finally fell apart for good.
06:19There were trust issues again,
06:21and she has been down that road before.
06:23She has to be strong for herself and true,
06:26adding, everyone is extremely disappointed.
06:30Jason Aldean and Brittany Kerr.
06:32The phrase, a lapse in judgment,
06:34seems to be the PR favorite whenever a celeb is caught doing something they shouldn't.
06:38There was things going on in my marriage at the time
06:42where, you know, I just wasn't really happy.
06:46Long before Justin Timberlake trotted it out in his apology,
06:50American Idol alum Brittany Kerr used it back in 2012.
06:54That September, Kerr was photographed at a busy Los Angeles bar
06:57locking lips with country star Jason Aldean.
07:00Aldean, who was married with two kids at the time,
07:02must have assumed he was incognito without his trademark cowboy hat,
07:06as he seemed to not have a care in the world if he was caught.
07:09Did you cheat on your wife?
07:12Well, I mean, you know, it's, um...
07:16Everybody's gonna have an opinion, you know what I mean?
07:19After the photos were published by TMZ,
07:22Aldean filed for divorce from his wife,
07:24citing irreconcilable differences.
07:26He and Kerr got married in 2015 and now have two kids of their own.
07:31Sort of, but it was almost like kind of fun for everybody
07:33because it was a surprise.
07:33I didn't know where we were staying.
07:34It's so romantic.
07:35How'd you do that?
07:37The ultimate destination wedding.
07:39You are awesome, man.
07:40Catherine McPhee and Michael Morris.
07:42The 32-year-old actress who finalized her divorce from husband Nick Kocas this year
07:46was caught kissing married Smash director Michael Morris in 2013.
07:50There must have been something in the water over at American Idol
07:53because yet another alum was caught in a compromising situation by the paps.
07:57This time, it was Catherine McPhee,
07:59the season 5 runner-up who went on to star in the NBC musical series Smash.
08:04While working on the show, she met director Michael Morris, who helmed multiple episodes.
08:20In October 2013, McPhee and Morris were photographed kissing each other in a parking lot,
08:25in broad daylight no less, despite both being very much married to other people.
08:30It was as though they wanted to be caught.
08:32The ensuing controversy led to McPhee filing for divorce from her husband,
08:36although Morris' marriage somehow weathered the storm.
08:39The problem is, and why everyone's so upset,
08:41is because even though she was apparently separated from her husband for about six months,
08:47Michael Morris, we hear, was not.
08:49And they have three young children together.
08:51What began as a typical Coldplay concert at Gillette Stadium in July 2025
08:57turned into an international nightmare for two tech executives.
09:01Both senior executives at a New York data firm, both married, both caught completely off guard.
09:06During the band's kiss cam segment, the camera landed on a couple in an affectionate embrace.
09:11But instead of leaning in, they sprang apart from each other and quickly ducked out of view.
09:16That couple was astronomer CEO Andy Byron and his HR chief Kristen Cabot,
09:32both of whom were married, just not to each other.
09:34The clip of this incident hit social media and immediately went viral.
09:39Cue the boatload of memes and hilarious recreations.
09:42Users reenacting different ways one could have responded to the unfortunate timing.
09:47Oh, she choked!
09:50Baseball fans had fun with their own version of the Coldplay cam.
09:54Within days, the company placed both of them on leave and launched an internal investigation.
09:59Byron resigned shortly after and was replaced by an interim CEO.
10:03Lily James and Dominic West
10:04English actor Dominic West is perhaps best known for playing a cheating husband
10:08on the Showtime series The Affair.
10:10I can't sleep.
10:12If I do, when I wake up, I'm thinking about you.
10:16I'm talking to my kids.
10:17I'm thinking about you.
10:18I'm f***ing my wife.
10:20I'm thinking about you.
10:21Life began to blur a little too closely with fiction in 2020,
10:25when he found himself in the middle of a cheating scandal.
10:28West was photographed in Rome getting too cozy for comfort with his The Pursuit of Love co-star Lily James.
10:34And as for you, miss, you're worse.
10:37Worse than the bolter.
10:38Imagine that.
10:38Please stop it about the bolter.
10:40No one here is lighter.
10:41The two were spotted sharing a ride on an electric scooter and swapping kisses over lunch,
10:46all while West was married to Catherine Fitzgerald, the mother of his four children.
10:50This came at a time when West and Fitzgerald were rumored to have split,
10:54as he had been seen without his wedding ring.
10:56However, the couple released a statement insisting their marriage was solid.
11:00And issuing a public statement to multiple outlets that reads,
11:03Our marriage is strong and we're very much still together.

11:22Kristen Stewart and Rupert Sanders
11:24After rising to fame as part of a fictional love triangle in the Twilight film series,
11:30Kristen Stewart was thrust in the center of a real-life one.
11:33In 2012, while dating her Twilight co-star Robert Pattinson,
11:37Stewart was caught on camera getting handsy with her Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders,
11:41who was married at the time.
11:43Paparazzi captured the two at a public stop-off in Los Angeles,
11:47kissing and cuddling each other both in and around their car.
11:50They stepped out of their car, looking out over Hollywood, caressed each other, kissed each other.
11:55The backlash from these photographs was immense.
11:58Both Stewart and Sanders had to issue public apologies,
12:01not just to their partners, but to their fans as well.
12:04Regardless, the scandal led to the end of Stewart's relationship with Pattinson
12:08and the collapse of Sanders' marriage.
12:10His wife, model Liberty Ross, sent this mysterious, if terse, tweet that read only,
12:16Wow.
12:17Within hours, she deleted her account.
12:19What do you make of these jaw-dropping cheating scandals?
12:22Let us know in the comments below.
12:24At the end of the day, it's been, Derek, definitely hard to see tons of lies written about a situation
12:30that people don't necessarily know the truth.
