At a Coldplay concert, Astronomer CEO Andy Byron was caught canoodling with his HR head on a “kiss cam.” The audience erupted in yelling as the couple clumsily attempted to hide.
When the tech giant CEO and his chief human resources officer, Kristin Cabot, were seen cuddling at the band’s Boston performance on Wednesday night, the first video—which has been viewed over 50 million times—went viral online, giving rise to the second angle.
The new video, which was taken from another area of the arena, showed a throng of fans yelling as the couple, who were cuddling, frantically covered their faces when the jumbotron abruptly panned to them during the performance.
As the crowd laughed, frontman Chris Martin could be heard remarking, “They’re either having an affair or they’re just very shy.”
After the two left the scene, the crooner remarked, “I hope we didn’t do anything bad.”
The jumbotron then went on to another pair of fans decked out in banana costumes after Cabot was seen facing away from the camera and Byron ducked out of sight.
Byron and Cabot, both of whom have their own families, have yet to comment on the vile scandal.
Internet detectives soon discovered that Cabot had recently divorced her husband, Kenneth Thornby, and that Byron seemed to be married to Megan Kerrigan Byron, shortly after the original clip began going viral online.
“I was unaware of the couple’s identity. After the fallout, Grace Springer, who filmed the original clip, told the US Sun, “I just thought I caught an interesting reaction to the kiss cam and decided to post it.”
“I feel bad about upending these people’s lives, but play dumb games and win dumb prizes,” she continued.
“With their future still in front of them, I hope their partners can move past this and have another chance at the happiness they deserve.”
