Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and company's Chief People Officer, Kristin Cabot were caught cozying up on kiss cam during a Coldplay concert sparking global controversy.
Coldplay's camera unit is being hailed for uncovering an alleged high-level affair between Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and company's Chief People Officer, Kristin Cabot. The 'couple" was spotted on the 'kiss cam" during one of Coldplay's recent concerts in Boston. What baffled everyone, including the frontman Chris Martin was that the two, who were spotted cozying up in public, immediately withdrew from their romantic embrace upon realising that were being watched by hundreds and thousands of Coldplay fans at the venue. Byron swiftly sank into the floor while Cabot left the frame in a jiffy.
Martin, who was on mic, joked: 'Either they're having an affair or they're very shy!"
The entire embarrassing saga was captured on videos and passed around on the Internet like a gum. As the folks on the web celebrated Coldplay's contribution to catching the 'secret affair" and making the world aware about them and their respective marriages on a global scale, a section of users couldn't help but congratulate the camera unit in action that enabled such an impactful expose.
Camera Vigilante
The unsuspecting camera unit stationed at the Coldplay concert was lauded for their 'fine work" and 'saving lives" during a routine segment where the band tries to spice up the audience by throwing them in the spotlight and the couple responding with a kiss when they are on the jumbotron.

'Cheating Is Not Okay"
Byron and Cabot's humiliation wasn't just confined to the venue but the entire Internet was summoned to mock them for their alleged affair caught in 4K on the jumbotron. The incident also reminded people of the spouses who were the collaterals of the sticky situation bestowed to them by their purported cheating partners.
'The poor spouses of the Coldplay cheating scandal are so f***ed because you know anytime they hear Coldplay it's gonna trigger them for the rest of their lives. What are they supposed to do just never go to a convenience store or a mall ever again??" wrote one X user.
'If you brazenly go out in public with the person with whom you're cheating and the two of you are spotted in public in an embrace, this is not doxing. This is your poor decisions catching up to you and, sadly, your spouse and your children," chimed in another.
'How embarrassing… I feel for the man's wife. Cheating on your spouse has got to be one of the most disgusting and hurtful things a person can do
But to be caught like those two were is humiliating for the man's wife," added a third.
The Aftermath
It has been widely reported that the cheating CEO cozying up with his colleague has already done the damage in the married life of Byron.

Mumbai's Iconic Taj Hotel Was Built By…‘Aurangzeb? No, Shah Jahan. He Even Cut Hands'
The first person who undertook the quiz told the digital creator that it was the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb who built the Taj Hotel in Mumbai. Who built Mumbai's 120-year-old Taj Hotel? That was the question asked by a digital creator to people in the City of Dreams. But little did he know that the video, made in the format of a fun quiz, would blow up into a viral meme, all thanks to the lack of general knowledge and history among the younger generation. In the clip, posted on Instagram, the creator asked some passersby to guess the person who built the state-of-the-art, five-star marvel, only to receive some of the most impossible answers. The first person who undertook the quiz told the creator that it was the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb who built the Taj Hotel. The next person gave a more absurd answer. As per the third and last individual, the Taj Hotel was built by Shah Jahan. All of the answers were wrong. Now for the correct answer: Mumbai's Taj Hotel was built by industrialist Jamsetji Tata. It opened its doors to tourists in 1903. The side note read, 'Taj Hotels Quiz Chaos: From Aurangzeb to Shah Jahan. A fun and bizarre street quiz moment where one guesses Aurangzeb. This mix of overconfidence and wild guesses had everyone laughing. And yes—Shah Jahan built the Taj Mahal in Agra (not Mumbai!), and no, did not build it. Just a reminder: Confidence ≠ correctness. Social Media Users React The post was flooded with reactions. 'Scripted or not, you are good at roasting Gen Z," lauded a user. 'Being a part of the Tata Group, I can't decide whether to laugh or get angry at them," read an honest comment. 'JRD TATA must be very sad today," noted one person playfully. 'Aurangzeb ne foundation work kia, Shah Jahan mei walls and pillars dala nei paint and interiors karwaya. (Aurangzeb did the foundation work, Shah Jahan built the walls and pillars got the painting and interiors done)," wrote another humorously. 'This has to be scripted!! Please, please, please," hoped an individual. 'Aare itna confidence? Kaise? (So much confidence? How?)" wondered if someone else. 'Welcome to the bright generation of INDIA," read a sarcastic remark.

This Russian Influencer Tried Nicki Minaj's ‘Stiletto Challenge.' And, It Didn't End Well
Last Updated: Nicki Minaj's 'stiletto challenge' is based on a visual from the artist's High School music video featuring Lil Wayne. A viral social media challenge has led to a medical emergency for a Russian influencer just weeks after she gave birth. The incident unfolded during an attempt to recreate a popular trend linked to Nicki Minaj's 2013 track High School. 32-year-old Mariana Barutkina tried the stunt in her kitchen and ended up with a back injury. The challenge, inspired by a scene from Minaj's music video, involves posing in stilettos while balancing in difficult positions. The Stiletto Challenge Goes Wrong In the video, shared on Instagram, Mariana is seen standing on a jar that is placed on top of a saucepan. In stilettos, she climbs onto the kitchen countertop and attempts a one-foot squat. At first, she manages to balance, but suddenly, she slips backwards and falls off the counter. She hits the ground hard and suffers an injury. Mariana later revealed that the fall resulted in a 'Th9 compression bending uncomplicated fracture of the body." 'I decided to start blogging, the first content shooting — and here I am leaving the doctor diagnosed with 'Th9 compression bending uncomplicated fracture of the body,'" she wrote in the caption of the video. 'The irony? Karma? Or just life, which always tests our strength at the most unexpected moment, Mariana added. Overnight Attention The video gained widespread attention online with Mariana saying she received a flood of messages after the incident. 'Because of one video, which was unsuccessfully filmed, I became a popular person. More than 50 people sent me my reel from different publications today," she wrote in a follow-up post on Instagram. 'People, thank you for your popularity, for your concerns and your comments. I'm doing great, following the guidelines and now living in 'star' status," she continued. Safety Concerns Raised After sharing the video, Mariana also addressed concerns about her child's safety and clarified that he was not alone at the time of filming. 'P.S. There will be no reports and communication with journalists! Whoever worries about my child is also calm, he has two nannies, and while I was filming, one of them was with him," she wrote in the post. Origin Of The Trend Nicki Minaj's 'stiletto challenge" is based on a visual from the artist's High School music video featuring Lil Wayne. In the clip, Minaj appears beside a swimming pool, crouched low with one leg crossed over the other, all while wearing high heels. The pose has sparked a wave of viral videos across platforms.
