The Kiss Cam Fiasco
A day after being put on leave, Astronomer Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Andy Byron resigned after a viral video from the Coldplay concert in Boston showed him hugging a female co-worker, despite being married. The US tech company made the announcement of his resignation in a LinkedIn post, saying that their "standards were not met recently."
"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," Astronomer said.
According to the company, they have appointed co-founder and Chief Product Officer Pete DeJoy as the interim CEO while the board searches for Byron's replacement.
Coldplay's frontman, Chris Martin, reacted to them, saying the couple was "either too shy" or "having an affair".
Later, in another follow-up video, he was heard saying, "Oh s**t, I hope we didn't do something bad".

Caught cheating on Coldplay's kiss cam, Astronomer CEO Andy Byron may exit marriage without paying hefty alimony. Here's why
The Fallout: More Online Than Legal You Might Also Like: Did AR Rahman troll Coldplay for the viral kiss cam scandal during his live concert? Watch viral video No Special Treatment for Scandal What About the Children? You Might Also Like: Can Andy Byron take legal action against Coldplay for the career-threatening viral moment? Experts weigh in Andy Byron and family From Viral Video to Legal Wrangle? On a summer evening in July 2025, what should have been a typical feel-good moment at a Coldplay concert became an internet sensation. During the band's now-famous 'kiss cam' segment at their Boston show, the camera zoomed in on Astronomer CEO Andy Byron sharing a rather intimate moment—not with his wife, but with Kristin Cabot, the company's Chief People singer Chris Martin, visibly flustered, tried to play it off with a joke: 'Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy.' But the internet wasn't laughing. The footage lit up social media, sparked memes, and ignited speculation. Within days, both Byron and Cabot were placed on leave, and shortly after, they public opinion turned against Byron swiftly, with intense scrutiny on his marriage and personal life, legal experts suggest that the consequences won't be as harsh in the reported by The Blast, family law attorney Richard Sullivan explained why Byron might emerge financially unscathed. 'People often assume cheating automatically impacts the outcome of a divorce,' he said. 'But California is a no-fault divorce state. That means the court doesn't care who cheated or why the marriage ended. Infidelity may be morally outrageous, but it doesn't change the financial outcome.'Unless Byron used marital funds for the affair—on luxury trips or expensive gifts, for example—the alleged infidelity would not affect asset division or alimony. 'It might matter emotionally. But in court, it's irrelevant,' Sullivan couple's now-public marital rift saw a symbolic turn when Byron's wife, Megan Kerrigan, dropped his last name from her social media and eventually deleted her Facebook profile entirely. According to NDTV, she is currently staying at the couple's property in Kennebunk, Maine, while Byron has kept a low profile since stepping down from his CEO speculation, the law stands firm. Byron could, in fact, be spared from paying any spousal support depending on the couple's shared assets and earnings. It's a surprising outcome for many who assumed a headline-making scandal would come with a high price have also swirled around child custody battles . But here too, legal experts stress neutrality. 'Bad judgment during a concert isn't enough to label someone an unfit parent,' Sullivan clarified. 'Public embarrassment is painful, but family court is about structure and stability.'In short, the kiss cam may have ended a career and a marriage, but it won't sway custody or financial rulings in a bizarre twist, Page Six reported that Byron may be considering legal action against Coldplay for capturing the footage without his consent. Allegedly, he believes the moment caused 'significant emotional distress' and public humiliation. While no lawsuit has yet been filed, the speculation adds another chapter to an already surreal for Astronomer, the tech company took a curious PR turn by temporarily hiring Gwyneth Paltrow—Chris Martin's ex-wife—as its spokesperson. Whether an ironic move or strategic marketing, it certainly didn't go unnoticed by social media.
