A man has gone viral after revealing that he divorced his wife of a decade when she shocked him — and thousands of concertgoers — by jumping on stage to kiss her favorite singer mid-performance. The incident, captured on multiple fan videos, has exploded across TikTok and X, leaving viewers fiercely divided over whether his decision was justified or an overreaction.
Jason Holloway, 38, says the moment played out during a packed show at a Live Nation venue in Austin, Texas, when his then-wife, Melissa, 34, broke away from the crowd, climbed onto the stage, and ran straight toward country star Colby Wilson — embracing him before planting a kiss on his cheek as security rushed in. “The crowd screamed, phones came out, and she just looked at me like it was funny,” Jason told Daily Mail. “That was the moment I knew our marriage was over.”
Witnesses say the concert briefly stopped as guards escorted Melissa back down, while the singer awkwardly waved it off with a smile. “She wasn’t drunk,” Jason said. “She just lost control. I don’t think she thought about how humiliating that was for me — or how disrespectful.”

According to Jason, the couple had been together since college and shared two young children. “We’d been through everything — moves, bills, parenthood — and then in ten seconds she threw it all away for some guy she’s never met,” he said in an emotional interview with NBC News. “She didn’t even apologize. She told me I was ‘overreacting’ and that it was just part of the fun.”
But the internet doesn’t seem to agree on who’s right. On Reddit, one post discussing the viral video has drawn over 30,000 comments. “He’s right — public humiliation is still cheating,” one user wrote. Another fired back, “It was a harmless moment with a celebrity. Divorce seems extreme.”
Jason insists it wasn’t about jealousy, but betrayal. “If she can do that in front of me, in front of thousands of people, what else could she do behind closed doors?” he said. “It wasn’t the kiss. It was the disrespect. You can’t unsee that.”

Concert footage of the incident has since racked up more than 20 million views online, showing Melissa laughing as she’s led away by security while Colby Wilson jokes to the audience, “Guess I should start charging for those.” Jason, standing just rows away, can be seen shaking his head before walking out of the venue.
“I didn’t even wait for her,” he recalled. “I just left. I filed for divorce the next morning.”
In her defense, Melissa later told TMZ that she “never meant to hurt” her husband and that the moment “got out of hand.” “It was spontaneous,” she said. “I’m a huge fan — it was supposed to be a funny memory, not the end of my marriage.”
But Jason says the damage was already done. “We were already struggling,” he admitted. “We hadn’t been happy for a while, but that — that was the final straw. It was like watching a stranger I didn’t know anymore.”
Even Colby Wilson eventually commented on the viral uproar during an appearance on Entertainment Tonight. “It was a weird night,” the singer said. “I didn’t know she was married until afterward. I feel bad for the guy. No one wants to see their spouse do something like that in public.”

Relationship experts say the situation reflects deeper cultural divides about boundaries in relationships. “For some, celebrity crushes are harmless fantasy,” said Dr. Rachel Meyers, a marriage therapist based in Los Angeles. “But when admiration crosses into public intimacy, it can feel like emotional infidelity — especially when one partner feels humiliated.”
Jason’s story has since become a social media firestorm, with countless videos, memes, and reaction posts dissecting every frame of the concert footage. “People think I’m bitter,” he said, “but honestly, I’m relieved. I realized I want someone who respects me — even when no one’s watching.”
As for Melissa, she has reportedly deactivated her social media accounts following a wave of backlash. “I just want to move on,” she told a local outlet in Austin. “I made a mistake, and I’ve paid for it. I didn’t think a stupid kiss would end my family.”
Jason says he’s focused on rebuilding his life and co-parenting their children. “I don’t hate her,” he said quietly. “But I can’t unsee that stage. I can’t forget the sound of everyone laughing.”

Now, months after the viral breakup, the couple’s story continues to spark debate about love, loyalty, and public boundaries. “Maybe it wasn’t about a kiss,” one viewer wrote under a video of the moment. “Maybe it was about the moment he realized he was married to someone who didn’t see him anymore.”
For Jason, the answer is simple. “People keep asking if I’d take her back,” he said. “No. Because that wasn’t my wife up there — it was someone chasing attention. And I finally saw the truth.”
