Internet abuzz as tech CEO caught on camera with HR head at Coldplay concert

The internet is ablaze after a viral video showed Astronomer CEO Andy Byron getting cozy with his company’s Head of HR, Kristin Cabot, during a Coldplay concert, sparking accusations of infidelity and a flood of online memes.

The incident occurred during a Coldplay performance at Boston’s Gillette Stadium, where a kiss cam captured Byron and Cabot embracing intimately.

The moment took a dramatic turn when the pair appeared on the big screen and quickly distanced themselves from one another, visibly startled and attempting to hide.

Social media users accused the duo of cheating on their respective spouses, with many calling out their apparent lack of discretion. Memes, jokes, and criticism flooded social media.

Following the viral exposure, Andy Byron’s wife reportedly removed his name from her Facebook profile and deactivated her account. Byron himself also deactivated his social media and LinkedIn accounts soon after.

A fake apology letter circulating online prompted further speculation before the company issued a clarification denying its authenticity.

Neither Byron nor Cabot have made any public comments regarding the incident, leaving the internet to speculate about the nature of their relationship and the status of their marriages.

To add to the drama, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin made light-hearted comments after the couple appeared on screen, jokingly suggesting they “might be having an affair,” which further fueled the frenzy.

While no official statements have confirmed the details behind the viral moment, the internet continues to buzz with gossip, memes, and mounting scrutiny of the tech executives.
