Coldplay randomly reveal an affair
You can see Andy Byron, CEO of the US software company Astronomer, and Kristin Cabot, Chief People Officer of the same company. Both are married. But not with each other. When the camera captures it, both are visibly surprised: Byron leaves the camera, Cabot covers her face. Shortly afterwards, Chris Martin, singer of Coldplay, comments on the moment with the words: “Oh, look at the two … either they have an affair – or they are very shy.”
Video goes viral
The video has spread viral since then. Numerous contributions to Reddit and reports, among other things from the British tabloid “The Sun”, suggest that Byron and Cabot are supposed to have actually had an extramarital relationship. The fact that both work in leading roles at the same company makes the incident not only privately, but also in a professional explosive.
This is how the network reacts
In the meantime, the incident is intensively discussed on social networks. In addition to mockery and wit, criticism is also loud. For many, the campaign meets incomprehension.
Silence from all sides
Byron has been CEO of Astronomer since July 2023, Cabot was added in November of the same year. At that time, both were publicly expressed publicly about the cooperation. As far as the incident is concerned, however, it has been silent: Neither the company nor the data subjects have commented on the occurrences. An alleged statement by Andy Byron, which is circulating online, is only a fake.
