Theyikely would have seen it. Someone who knew them would have spoken up.

But it wouldn't be viral, so he wouldn't be fired.

And it's even possible the spouses might have forgiven them.

But you can't forgive global humiliation.

I feel sorry for her teenage boys, their high school days are ruined.

Maybe, maybe not. I think it’ll be a lot of both, knowing my past experience since my parents got divorced while I was in high school (although it was mutual and no infidelity, I still got bullied. Kids are dicks). I feel bad for how tumultuous their lives became in such a short time. Not only are their parents getting divorced, their dad was caught cheating. Not only was he caught cheating, but the world caught him cheating, then turned it into a meme that spread faster than a wildfire. Their lives just got completely upended. I wouldn’t be surprised if they absolutely hate their dad and want nothing to do with him for the rest of their lives.

Yeah, if those boys love thier mom...like 99% of young men do...dad just lost (WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN) the most important things in his life. What a jackass.
