- *The View* ladies are reacting to a couple who went viral after being caught on camera at a Coldplay concert, with Ana Navarro noting that she's watched the video over and over like it was 'porn.'

- The pair were later identified as Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot. Byron has since resigned.

- "I feel guilty at laughing because I know there's people that have been terribly hurt by this, but oh my God," Navarro said.

Ana Navarro has derived so much pleasure from the viral video of the Coldplay kiss cam couple that it may as well be X-rated in her book. **

*The View *cohost equated the footage of (now former) Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and the tech company's Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot's alleged affair being caught live on camera at the concert to "porn" during Monday's episode because she simply cannot stop watching it over and over again. **

"This really has captured… it takes so much for me to not be, you know, consumed by news," Navarro admitted. "But this has captured my imagination so much. I've have been watching like if it was porn. Over and over and over again."

Coldplay was performing at a concert in Foxborough, Mass., on July 16 when the Jumbotron cut to Byron and Cabot cuddling in the crowd. The pair immediately scrambled apart upon spotting themselves on the big screen, prompting lead singer Chris Martin to remark, "Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy."**

Byron has since resigned from his position at Astronomer following the controversy, and a formal investigation has since been launched at the company into the incident.

Navarro also explained that the video truly highlighted the "power of social media," noting that it spawned headlines around the globe and a whole host of hilarious memes online.

"The original sin was funny, then the memes are funny," she said. "I feel guilty at laughing because I know there's people that have been terribly hurt by this, but oh my God. It was so funny."

Earlier in the segment, Sunny Hostin shared that the original video has since been viewed over 77 million times online. "And I've seen it and I'm seven million of those [views]," Navarro quipped. "I cannot stop."**

Sara Haines also called out the pair's alleged affair given their roles at the company. "The bigger thing people aren't talking about is how a CEO of a company should *never* be dating the head of HR," she stressed. "I mean, beyond the affair, these are the people that are supposed to implement company policy! There's a power dynamic!" **

But Whoopi Goldberg that wasn't so fazed by that. "Sometimes you can't help who you wanna get on with!" she interjected. "Sometimes you just can't help it. Well, you know, because she's not the head of HR in the bed!" **

"Girl, I was gonna say something but I'm gonna keep it to myself," Navarro said, before immediately spilling the beans. "She's the head of *something* in bed." Her comment drew gasps from the audience.

Alyssa Farah Griffin added that the situation was made so much worse by the way Byron and Cabot reacted to being on the big screen.  "I think if they'd just paused it may not have even gotten back to their loved ones," she said. "But this like, dive-bombing out of the shot. It's the whole like the coverup being as bad as the crime." **

Goldberg concluded the segment by explaining that the pair may have gotten exactly what they wanted in the end.

"I don't know what this is, I don't know if he was happily married, she was happily married, I don't know any of that," she said. "But I do know that if you don't want people to know what you're doing, don't take 'em to concerts. Because you don't know who else is in this giant stadium of people!" **

She continued, "If you're doing that, and you don't want people to know, what the hell? I mean just too dumb. So you got, inadvertently, what you might've been looking for, which was your out. But who can say? Not me! Cause I ain't married!" **

Martin has since started warning couples that they may appear on camera during their set in the band's first show since the incident.

"We'd like to say hello to some of you in the crowd," he said in a TikTok clip. "How we're gonna do that is we're gonna use our cameras and put some of you on the big screen. So please, if you haven't done your makeup, do your makeup now."

*The View* airs weekdays at 11 a.m. ET/10 a.m. PT on ABC.****
