Woman who filmed CEO and employee on Coldplay jumbotron answers all the questions people are asking

Astronomer CEO Andy Byron sparked affair rumors after being filmed with employee Kristin Cabot at a Coldplay concert. A viral clip showed the pair appearing cozy, with Byron’s arms around Cabot during the July 16 show at Gillette Stadium. When featured on the jumbotron during the “kiss cam” segment, Cabot covered her face, while Byron ducked out of view, prompting speculation.

Coldplay frontman Chris Martin noticed their reaction, joking, “Either they’re having an affair or they’re just really shy.” The video, posted by attendee Grace Springer, quickly went viral, with many questioning the nature of their relationship. Springer, who initially thought the reaction was just shyness, later found it suspicious upon reviewing the footage.

Springer clarified she didn’t know the couple beforehand and only posted the clip because their behavior stood out. She also confirmed no lawyers had contacted her and that she hadn’t profited significantly from the video. She urged people to remember that Byron’s family are “real people” amid the online frenzy.

Astronomer’s board launched an investigation, placing Byron on leave and appointing co-founder Pete DeJoy as interim CEO. The company emphasized its commitment to upholding its values and leadership accountability. They also denied rumors that another employee, Alyssa Stoddard, was present at the event.

Byron, who is reportedly married, has not publicly addressed the allegations. The company stated that any claims of him releasing a statement are false. The incident has drawn widespread attention, with many dissecting the couple’s reaction at the concert.

Springer told LADbible she might not have shared the video if the pair had acted normally. She noted that her friends encouraged her to post it after witnessing the awkward moment firsthand. The clip has since fueled intense online debate about workplace relationships and professional boundaries.

As the investigation continues, Astronomer remains in the spotlight, with the board promising further updates. The situation serves as a cautionary tale about public behavior and the power of social media to amplify personal moments.
