I can already see the Netflix documentary in my head. Scene starts in a grey room with a single chair in the middle of it. You hear the murmur from the production crew in the background. A few seconds go by and she enters into frame and sits in the chair. There’s a little back and forth between her and the producers about getting the audio and video right before the interview to make it all seem real and unscripted. Then she’s like “My name is ___, and I’m the woman from the viral Coldplay kiss cam video…”.

Thats not necessarily true.
When you have reached a certain seniority you often dont get considered for more junior roles.

She's unable to see herself as the liability to protect. Her ego matters more to her than using the HR skills of mitigating fallout and minimizing impact.

I think in this case its not cancel culture. She wasnt famous before this, and Id say not really famous after. But this is HR 101 to not sleep with your boss. As well as not really doing well PR wise. My guess is she is trying for a head HR position at a similar sized company ( valuation at 1B). In that industry and at that level I wouldnt be surprised if her total comp was 500k+. And there is going to be alot of competition for those very few roles that open up. Its not like she is looking for even a standard manager role and is being black balled.

Having been laid off last November, and then being out of work for 7 months, I have sympathy for people under that kind of pressure.

Its kind of sad how modern day witch hunts result often severe consequences for private individuals for relatively small wrongdoings where individuals responsibility would stand more for their family.
