Moment Chris Martin laughs as he issues kiss cam warning days after CEO and HR chief caught ‘cheating' at Coldplay gig

The Sun20-07-2025
CHRIS Martin chuckled as he warned the crowd about using a kiss cam during a Coldplay performance.
The singer was careful to prepare the crowd after married tech CEO Andy Byron was caught on the big screen cuddling his head of HR Kristin Cabot at a gig on Tuesday.

On Saturday night's performance at the Camp Randall Stadium in Madison, Wisconsin, Chris said: "We'd like to say hello to some of you in the crowd.
"We're gonna use our cameras and put some of you on the big screen.
"So please, if you haven't done your make-up, do your make-up now."
But the warning was clearly a nod to the alleged cheating exposed at the Gillete Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts earlier in the week.
Crowds members laughed and whooped at his words, revelling in the saga which has gripped the internet for the best part of a week.
The lead singer's jibe was not the only reference to the scandal.
One concert-goer brandished a large sign declaring: "HE'S NOT MY CEO," with an arrow pointing to the man next to her.
Since getting caught red-handed, Andy Byron has resigned as Astronomer's CEO, according to an update from the company.
He had held the position since July 2023.
A statement from the firm said: "As stated previously, Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding. Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met.

"Andy Byron has tendered his resignation, and the Board of Directors has accepted. The Board will begin a search for our next Chief Executive as Cofounder and Chief Product Officer Pete DeJoy continues to serve as interim CEO."
Panicked Byron and Cabot - who both have families of their own - were seen rushing for cover after being left red-faced in the packed stadium.
Their reaction to being filmed has caught the world's attention - with millions now talking about the alleged affair.
And more footage captured from behind their seats, obtained by TMZ, shows the pair silhouetted by stage lights as Coldplay performed 'Yellow'.
Chris Martin, Coldplay's frontman, commented live on stage: 'They're either having an affair… or they're very shy.'

Seconds later, Byron dropped his arm and ducked behind a barrier while Cabot covered her face.
As he caught view of himself, Byron appeared to say "f****** hell, it's me".
Martin added, laughing nervously: 'Oh s***, I hope we didn't do something bad.'
A night later, Martin cracked a joke with another couple on the kiss cam after accidentally catching the tech boss allegedly cheating with his HR chief.
The fan who captured the original kiss cam moment told The U.S. Sun she had no idea the couple were senior tech executives.
She said: 'I just thought I caught an interesting reaction to the kiss cam and decided to post it. A part of me feels bad… but, play stupid games, win stupid prizes.'
Even longer footage has since dropped, showing the full reaction of panicked "mistress" Kristin Cabot.
Further revelations have since emerged claiming Cabot is still married to another powerful CEO.
Property records obtained by the Daily Mail from earlier this year list the couple as "husband and wife".

Why has Coldplay kiss cam CEO taken the brunt of the shame? It takes two to tango

UNTIL last week, I'd never said 'Jumbotron'. Now it's lodged in my vocabulary like 'furlough' in 2020 — another word I didn't ask for but can't stop using. 2 Astronomer CEO and HR director Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot were caught on the Jumbotron 2 The Kiss-Cam moment went viral on TikTok, sparking hundreds of memes The 40-foot truth bomb at a Coldplay concert, beaming betrayal, has become a beacon of hope for suspicious spouses everywhere. Andy Byron, then CEO of tech company Astronomer, and Kristin Cabot, the company's HR director, were caught on the stadium's kiss-cam in front of 60,000 fans and a fast-growing online audience. They ducked, smirked, and recoiled like they'd just been caught with their fingers in the biscuit tin. Which, in a way, they had. It didn't take long for the footage to go viral. Cheating scandal meets Coldplay's 'fix you'? It practically begged for a TikTok remix. The meme machine kicked into gear, followed swiftly by the sports world, corporate parody accounts, and thousands of strangers handing down their verdict with gusto. Andy resigned. Kristin has also quit. Astronomer went global. But why is it that in this scandal, all the spotlight — and all the shame — seems to have landed squarely on Andy Byron? Just like the tango, it takes two. While Byron's wife, Megan, is now forced to suffer global humiliation in silence, we've heard barely a whisper about Kristin's husband, Andrew Cabot — the CEO of Privateer Rum. Another public-facing figure who comes from a historic upper class family. Another betrayed spouse. Yet for some reason, we can't seem to pull him into focus. Coldplay kiss cam company Astronomer hires Chris Martin's ex Gwyneth Paltrow for tongue-in-cheek video Because men who are cheated on rarely make headlines. We simply don't know what to do with them. They don't fit the narrative arc we've built around adultery — of a woman scorned, rising phoenix-like from the ashes, armed with a revenge body and a pithy Instagram caption. When men are the victims, they disappear. Out of sight, out of relevance. Women are expected to hurt publicly and recover fabulously. Men are expected to hurt privately and say nothing at all. But justice doesn't always come via the legal route—because, let's face it, the traditional systems rarely move quickly or compassionately. Just ask the sub-postmasters, the infected blood scandal victims or anyone who's been subjected to yet another drawn out public inquiry. Often in life, when you've been wronged, there's no trial, no apology, no closure. There is only the internet. Which means the only justice most people get these days is the one they make for themselves. Fifteen years ago, everyone involved in a Mark Ronson-styled public shaming like this would armour up with PR heavyweights to fight their corners but these days we seem to conflate dignity with silence. Chaos and vulnerability made us love Ozzy BEFORE the Kardashians, there were the Osbournes – Ozzy, Sharon, Kelly and Jack – barking, bickering and bewildering their way through Beverly Hills. Ozzy wasn't just the Prince of Darkness, he was the reluctant king of reality TV. 'Sharooon!' he'd wail, slipping on dog poo for the third time, while the rest of us clung to our remotes in gleeful horror. When The Osbournes launched on MTV in 2002, it introduced a whole new generation to the Black Sabbath legacy – minus the bat heads, but still gloriously unhinged. He gave us chaos, eyeliner, and a kind of punk-rock vulnerability that made us love him. Ozzy died last week, aged 76, just 17 days after his final show. Even Parkinson's couldn't knock him off stage. A legend to the last stumble, Ozzy didn't just walk through hell – he did it in slippers, muttering expletives, and made it look cool. Internet glow-ups however? We're all for them. Whether that's a new career move, a revenge body, or in Jennifer Lopez's case, an entire revenge album celebrating 'hard sex' and 'soft power' after Ben Affleck allegedly bailed — this is the new court of justice. It's not always fair. But it's fast. And sometimes, it's the only thing that feels like control. They say the best revenge is to live well, but did it even happen if it there's not an after pic on Instagram? Welcome to the new generation of justice. Let us hear Vicky's voice VICKY Pattison is the latest woman shouting into the medical void in her new investigation, Medical Misogyny on Good Morning Britain. It revealed what most of us already know – if you've got ovaries, expect to be ignored. Three in five women experience reproductive health issues with a third waiting over a year for a diagnosis. Why? Because female pain apparently is just part of the job. Having to date a clueless gender is the cruel joke played on hetrosexual women. Once you mention cramps, out comes the standard prescription: 'Why don't you just go on the pill?' I dunno – maybe the fact that it wreaks havoc with your body and your mind? I was 15 when I was first put on the pill for irregular periods. I gained two stone in a year. 'The pill doesn't cause weight gain,' the GP told me, 'but it can increase your appetite.' IS THAT NOT THE SAME THING? Since then, I've been a one-woman trial for the NHS: the coil (constant bleeding), the implant (mental health meltdown), the patch (rash of doom). At one point, desperate to feel like myself again, I begged for the implant to be removed. They gave me an appointment in SIX WEEKS! Six weeks of spiralling anxiety, panic attacks and insomnia. So, I cut it out myself – not something I would recommend. My GP told me I had 'self-mutilated.' But desperate women will do desperate things when they are ignored. Megan Byron and Andrew Cabot have twice been made victim, once by an alleged affair and again when they and their families thrust into the global spotlight. In some ways they have already received justice online, perhaps they will receive more in the courts. Until then, the Jumbotron has become the eyes and ears for everyone who's spouse says they'll be out late for a 'work thing'.

Chrishell Stause and G-Flip marry again for fourth time and renew vows in LA medieval castle ceremony

Selling Sunset star Chrishell Stause and G-Flip renew their vows, yet again, during their fourth annual wedding ceremony held in a castle in LA. The medieval-themed nuptials on Saturday appeared to be held at available-for-rent Mulholland Castle, according to Zillow. Celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton used his Instagram Stories to share photos of the 44-year-old in an off-the-shoulder corseted bridal gown with the 31-year-old DJ in a regal red prince costume. The couple's period-style invite read: 'By royal decree, we request the honor of your noble presence to witness the wedding ceremony of Lord Flipo & Lady Stause. 'Lord Flipo & Lady Stause bid thee join in revelry and royal delight. Medieval, renaissance, regal, and festive attire encouraged. RSVP with haste!' Chrishell and G Flip first tied the knot in Las Vegas in July 2022, before they renewed their vows in Palm Springs, California, in July 2023. The couple's third time was in Melbourne, Australia, in July 2024. Chrishell told E! News in 2023: 'We promised we're going to [renew our vows] every year ... something around the same time, spontaneous, fun, get everybody together and every single year, just celebrate.' However, Instagram users were less than thrilled about the couple's attention-getting wedding obsession. One message said: 'Why Chrishell? Why?' Another called it 'cringey'. A third wrote: 'Imagine cosplaying at your own wedding.'

She was spotted in the VIP area of the Cowboy Carter tour along with Khloe, who was decked out in matching all-black. Donning a lanyard around her neck and holding a plastic cup in one hand, she was seen walking away from her man. Corey, 44, meanwhile donned a dark jacket and taupe-coloured bucket hat Eyewitnesses to their dialogue told how the pair looked "visibly tense." They then told Page Six how Corey appeared "frustrated" and Good American founder Khloe was trying to "reassure" him. Yet Kris, who has been dating Corey since 2014, appeared cheery as she uploaded her social media content from the night. She gave a nod to Beyonce's reunion with her Destiny's Child bandmates on-stage and said: "WOW! Such an incredible night in Vegas at the final night of @beyonce's spectacular Cowboy Carter tour!! "And such magic to see Destiny's Child @destinyschild and of course the iconic @jayz!!" The smash-hit singer reunited with her former bandmates Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams. Kris Jenner's fans catch embarrassing photoshop error that shows 69-year-old's 'true age' in Khloe Kardashian's new pic After performing 31 shows across Europe and the states, Beyonce took to the stage for her final show of the worldwide Cowboy Carter Tour. But as she wrapped up her performances to a sold-out crowd in Vegas, Queen Bey sent her fans into a frenzy with a special surprise performance. The trio took to the stage together for the first time since their Coachella reunion in 2018. LOVE STORY Back in 2023, Corey and Kris fuelled engagement rumors as she was spotted with a brand new ring. All About Kris Jenner Kris Jenner is the matriarch of the Kardashian-Jenner family, who rose to fame with her six children after starring on the E! reality series Keeping Up With the Kardashians. Here's what Kris has been up to: Kris was first married to the late Robert Kardashian, famously known as O.J. Simpson's defense attorney in his 1995 murder trial. They shared four children: daughters, Kourtney, Kim, and Khloe, and a son, Robert The former couple were married from 1978 until 1991. Following their divorce, Kris tied the knot with former Olympian, Bruce Jenner, who also appeared on KUWTK. The pair shared two daughters, Kendall and Kylie. They split in 2015, around the time that Bruce transitioned and changed her name to Caitlyn. Kris met her current boyfriend, Corey Gamble, in August 2014, and they have been together ever since. Kris manages her daughters' widely-successful careers and they've continued their reality TV run with The Kardashians on Hulu, shortly after KUWTK ended. After her high-profile divorce from Caitlyn Jenner, the Kardashian family matriarch found love with longtime boyfriend Corey. The Hulu star and business executive started dating in August 2014 after meeting in Ibiza, Spain. Fans have watched their relationship play out on Keeping Up With the Kardashians and their currently airing series, The Kardashians. Yet he was slammed about an "uncomfortable" comment on their sex life. Recently, there was speculation the pair had a tiff at Jeff Bezos' star-studded wedding in Venice. Yet overall she has gushed over their partnership. Previously, she told People: "Corey is my forever date and we have the best time together. "We've been together over a decade — never thought I'd say that again — and we just have a lot of fun together." NEW LOOK Kris had fans in a frenzy when she stepped out with a new face in June, looking decades younger. The reality star's rep confirmed to Page Six she underwent aesthetic enhancements from New York plastic surgeon Dr. Steven Levine ahead of her 70th birthday. Although it has not been revealed exactly what she had done, many critics have suggested she underwent a deep plane facelift as opposed to a regular SMAS procedure. Yet she was then accused of editing her images for an even more snatched jawline despite having "work done." She first showed off her amazing new look when she supported her daughter Kim Kardashian, 44, in French capital Paris during her court appearance following a traumatic burglary back in 2016. She continued to wow the public as the Kardashians stars attended Lauren Sanchez's bachelorette party in the city. After landing back in the US, momager Kris then supported her youngest Kylie Jenner at the launch of Khy X Dilara, Kylie's new collaboration. The Kardashian matriarch began her journey with plastic surgery when she got breast implants in the 1980s after giving birth to her first four children: Kourtney, Kim, Khloé, and Rob Kardashian. She has continued her cosmetic upkeep and revealed that she's gotten Botox and fillers over the years. 8 8 8 8
