She bedded two bosses and became the most Googled employee in the Googleplex.
Internet side dish Amanda Rosenberg — outed this week as both the mistress of married Google billionaire co-founder Sergey Brin and former girlfriend of newly departed Google Android exec Hugo Barra — was the fifth-most-queried subject on the search behemoth’s Web site after the news broke.
Rosenberg had racked up more than 50,000 hits on Google by Thursday night, besting Patriots quarterback Tim Tebow, college-football Heisman hopeful Jadeveon Clowney and cancer-stricken actress Valerie Harper, according to Google’s “hot searches.”
The 26-year-old Google Glass marketing manager also found herself under attack on her personal Google+ page.
“Every fellow Googler knows she slept with not one but two bosses within the same 8 months,” user Audrey Winters posted in a message on Rosenberg’s page.
“OK, Glass, find conniving in the dictionary.”
Rosenberg’s claim to fame is coining the “OK, Glass” command that starts the firm’s new head-mounted computer.
Brin is now separated from his wife, Anne Wojcicki.
A Google spokesman said Rosenberg has not been transferred in the wake of the scandal, while a source in the company said Rosenberg has been moved “further from Sergey in the chain of command” since their affair, first reported by AllThingsD on Wednesday, became known.
Rosenberg had been dating Barra, who resigned this week to take a job with the Chinese phone-maker Xiaomi, after what one source said was a “thorny end” to a romantic relationship.
“She’s good at playing men — she played me,” said former Rosenberg beau Ewan Butler, who dated the Brit-bred beauty in the UK before she moved to the United States for her high-tech Google gig.
“Amanda’s a good-looking girl, and she knows she is,” Butler told the Daily Mail.
Rosenberg came to San Francisco in January 2012. She was promoted to the Google Glass job in May that year.
That same month, Brin’s wife, who heads Calif.-based DNA-testing firm 23andMe, talked about her seemingly happy marriage and the couple’s two young children in an interview with Inc.com.
“Sergey and I like to have dinner together as a family, usually around 6,” she said. “Then we’ll put the kids to bed, and both of us will work until 11 p.m.”
“My perfect weekend is going for a walk with my family in the park. I don’t think there’s anything better.”
Brin and his wife separated about four months ago, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.
Neither has filed for divorce.
