Can't get over Coldplaygate scandal? 10 wildest Kiss Cam moments in the history that were even more awkward
The incident was further fuelled by social media reactions and a comment from Chris Martin. The Kiss Cam is a crowd-pleasing feature at live events, showcasing couples on large screens during breaks. The usual expectation is for the pair to share a fun, light-hearted moment, often a kiss, to the audience's amusement.
However, it can sometimes catch people off guard, as seen in the case, like Byron and Cabot's case. Moreover, the incident gained further traction when Elon Musk responded to a related tweet with a laughing emoji. Also, a parody tweet surfaced on the internet, mimicking Byron's apology: "Let me start by apologising to my family, my wife, and our wonderful employees. I am a Coldplay fan. Not just of the first two albums. I also like the recent stuff."
Kiss Cam tradition is nothing new
According to OneIndia, the Kiss Cam tradition has been a part of sporting events and music concerts for years. It focuses on engaging audiences by capturing their spontaneous moments among the attendees. However, as mentioned, apart from the delightful moments, it can sometimes lead to unexpected consequences.
Since July 18, 2025, #Coldplaygate continues to trend on social media platforms, and the internet is flooded with memes and reactions of netizens. But this is not the first time that something unusual or unexpected has been captured on the Kiss Cam.
A look at 10 of the wildest kiss cam moments in history
Let's take a look at some of the wildest Kiss Cam moments in history so far:'That' my sister': During a college basketball game, a pair was spotted in the audience like a couple, until the man awkwardly mouthed. 'That's my sister' drew roars of laughter from the crowd.

Former astronomer CEO Andy Byron faces $40,000 OnlyFans scandal following Coldplay kiss-cam fallout
Andy Byron , the ex-CEO of the data analytics company Astronomer , has found himself embroiled in a viral scandal involving allegations that he spent up to $40,000 on explicit video calls with OnlyFans creator Sophie Rain , according to leaked private messages reportedly shared by his wife, Megan Kerrigan. Known for steering Astronomer toward a billion-dollar valuation by efficiently managing data workflows for clients like Adobe and Nielsen, Byron's leadership initially marked him as a formidable figure in tech. However, his public image unraveled after a kiss-cam video at a Coldplay concert went viral, showing him in an intimate moment with Kristin Cabot, Astronomer's then Chief People Officer. This incident, later dubbed " ColdplayGate ," triggered a swift resignation from his CEO position in July 2025.

The messages suggest Byron paid Sophie Rain, a popular content creator affiliated with influencer collective Bop House , up to $40,000 for explicit video calls. One notable message exchange quoted Rain saying, "All good. Most guys I talk to are married," followed by "Okay, call me in 5 mins [winky face]". Despite the torrent of public scrutiny and memes mocking Byron, he has remained silent on these allegations. Astronomer has also refrained from official statement regarding the OnlyFans claims but confirmed his resignation was accepted by the board and appointed Cofounder and Chief Product Officer Pete DeJoy as interim CEO. Sophie Rain reacts Sophie Rain has made a rare public comment via an exclusive statement to The Blast, distancing herself from the scandal while offering sympathy to Byron's wife. Rain stated she could not comment on her clients but expressed support for Megan Kerrigan during what she described as a difficult time, emphasizing her disapproval of infidelity. "I don't disclose my donors, but I am here for his wife if she needs a friend through these times. I know this type of thing can be hard. If she has any issues at all during this time of uncertainty, she can reach out to me. I would love to talk to her and reassure her that this guy is just a bump in the road." Live Events Meanwhile, Megan Kerrigan has kept a low profile, retreating to the family's large estate in Kennebunk, Maine.
