Media personality Toyosi Etim-Effiong has weighed in on the viral cheating scandal that unfolded at a Coldplay concert, where Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and HR head Kristin Cabot were unexpectedly spotlighted by the event’s kiss cam—exposing a secret affair.
The unexpected moment quickly caught fire online, drawing mixed reactions across social media.
In response, Toyosi, who’s married to Nollywood actor Daniel Etim-Effiong, took to Instagram to share a heartfelt perspective. As a mother of three and someone deeply reflective, she didn’t hold back on the complexity of human choices.
She admitted feeling a mix of sadness and secondhand embarrassment over the situation, acknowledging just how challenging it can be to practice restraint in today’s world.
Quoting scripture, Toyosi noted that, “Stolen water is sweet,” pointing out that people often find themselves drawn to what they know is wrong. Instead of jumping to judgment, she encouraged compassion.
“We all struggle with something,” she wrote. “Staying disciplined takes serious effort. Let’s be kind. Let’s pray for people. Let’s offer grace instead of mockery.”
Her message served as a reminder that while scandals may trend, empathy should always lead the conversation.
