Viral social media account pretending to be Coldplay concert CEO's daughter exposed as fake
The account, @marinagirll, appeared two days ago, shortly after the infamous Coldplay kiss cam moment which caught former Astronomer CEO Andy Bryon hugging the company's head of HR Kristin Cabot.
The account captioned one viral video, 'Reconnecting with life after your dad's affair makes national news' with the woman tying her hair up whilst standing at an outside fire pit, which angered many users on TikTok.
One commentor said 'Wow imagines using your dad's affair to get famous. You're a nobody lol. Check in on your mom maybe... ?"
TikToker Lizthemillienial posted a video saying the video was not real.
A photo posted by his wife to Facebook shows Mr Bryon with his two sons, but there were no posts or photos that prove that he has a daughter.
The videos on the Marina Bryon account were allegedly taken from the social media of a French model and singer-songwriter, Julie Tuzet.
Miss Tuzet, who lives in Paris, posted to TikTok that she is not the CEO's daughter.
She said, 'Guys, I am not the CEO's daughter. You probably saw this video of me at a fireplace reconnecting with nature. It's just someone who stole my videos and content from TikTok to create this fake news, and it's going viral.
The TikTok account comes after Mr Byron resigned as CEO of Astronomer, an AI tech firm based in New York.
The firm posted a statement to X over the weekend stating that they were investigating the video after the incident at Coldplay's Boston concert went viral.
It is unclear whether or not Ms Cabot will be forced to resign, but she currently remains in post whilst the investigation is ongoing.

Why you should never remove chalk marks from your parked car
Your web browser is no longer supported. To improve your experience update it here A criminal lawyer is warning Australians about the potential consequences of removing chalk marks from their tyres before a parking inspection is complete. A recent TikTok depicting an individual removing chalk marks from multiple car tyres has gone viral and sparked online conversation. But Avinash Singh, from Astor Lega has warned of the potential consequences of the act. "Removing chalk off a tyre could be seen as attempting to pervert the course of justice. This is because the removal of chalk would hinder a parking ranger from carrying out their duties and prevent them from issuing a fine," he said. The video sparked debate, with Singh criticising the video, the comment section was flooded with people showing support for the stunt. In NSW, Section 319 Crimes Act 1900 makes it an offence to do any act or omission intending in any way to pervert the court of justice. Chalk mark on car tyre from parking inspectors ( South Australia is the only state that has a specific law that addresses this issue due to the issue becoming so widespread. Section 174AB of the Road Traffic Act 1961 makes it an offence to remove a parking inspector's chalk from a vehicle. The maximum fine this offense can carry is a $750 fine. "If a driver finds that a fine has been issued, they can contest the fine and ask for evidence that they were timed correctly. This is usually in the form of timestamped photos that a parking ranger has taken," says Singh. parking national Cars Fines driving Australia TikTok CONTACT US

‘Embarrassing': U.S. restaurant co-owner loses job after humiliating influencer and refusing to give her free meal
An American chef has been fired from a recently opened San Francisco restaurant after refusing to give an influencer a free meal and 'embarrassing' her. Karla, known online as @itskarlabb, had organized a collaboration with Kis Café in which she would make a video and the restaurant would give her a free dinner. Karla said she was left in tears following the exchange with co-owner Luke Sung. Picture: supplied. However, the evening took a sudden turn when co-owner Luke Sung demanded the restaurant host show him Karla's TikTok account, according to a video posted to the site by the influencer. Karla, who had 15k followers at the time, said the man was questioning why Karla was chosen for a collaboration. '[Sung] was saying that I have too little followers and that this was a mistake,' she said. 'This is all happening in front of me, and they know that I can hear them. 'At this point I am turning red because I am so embarrassed and I feel really disrespected.' @itskarlabb its a long video and not something i would normally upload but i feel like i had to talk about this experience. i basically ran out of there but i wish i would've stood up for myself. if you are a micro influencer i know it's easy to feel discouraged at times but don't let anyone make you feel small or unimportant!! ♬ original sound - itskarlabb Karla said Sung approached her soon after, and she was left 'shaking' and in tears following the exchange. 'He says to me that he doesn't think my videos are at the level at which he wants his restaurant to be represented,' she said. 'He goes on to say that my audience and my followers are not the kind of people that are going to be at his restaurant.' Karla left the restaurant crying and didn't wish to continue the collaboration, saying she felt 'disrespected.' Her video has been viewed more than 20 million times, and in a statement to social media, the restaurant announced Sung would not be continuing at the company. The restaurant announced in a social media statement Luke Sung had been let go from the position. Picture: supplied 'He is no longer part of the team as a co-owner, a chef or in any other way,' it read. 'That behaviour does not reflect the remainder of our team. We want to create a space that's welcoming and respectful to everyone. 'In this instance, we failed to do so.' Another co-owner of Sung's, who chose to remain anonymous, said the restaurant is figuring out its next steps. 'When we're ready, we will restart differently, separate from chef,' they told NBC Bay Area. Karla has gained more than 100k followers since her video went viral. Picture: TikTok 'This way my staff can also continue their livelihoods.' Since Karla's video was posted, she has amassed more than 373k followers on TikTok - and said she will continue to be a voice for 'micro' influencers. 'You don't need to have a million followers to be respected or feel like you're making a difference,' she said. 'I love spotlighting small businesses and I want to continue to do that and have fun.'

French man arrested at Sydney Airport after more than $20 million worth of meth was allegedly discovered in his suitcase
A French national has been arrested and charged with importing a commercial quantity of methamphetamine after allegedly being caught trying to import 22kg worth of the substance into the country. The man, aged 20, was stopped by Australian Border Force (ABF) officers at Sydney Airport for a routine examination after arriving on a flight from Amsterdam, the Netherlands, on July 20. Officers allegedly discovered 22 vacuum-sealed bags hidden in his luggage that contained a clear crystalline substance, and presumptive testing revealed a positive result for methamphetamine, and Australian Federal Police statement (AFP) said. The estimated weight of the crystalline substance was 22kg, and AFP have since seized the alleged drugs. The amount of methamphetamine allegedly seized had an estimated street value of over $20 million, representing 220,000 potential individual street deals. AFP officers arrested the French national, who has since been charged with one count of importing a commercial quantity of a border controlled drug, namely methamphetamine, and a count of possessing a commercial quantity of a border controlled drug, namely methamphetamine. He now faces a lengthy sentence behind bars, with both offences carrying a maximum penalty of life imprisonment. The French national was formerly refused bail after appearing before Downing Centre Local Court on July 21 and he is set to reappear in at the court on September 16. AFP Detective Superintendent Morgen Blunden said the AFP and the border force continued to see people trying to smuggle illegal drugs into their country via luggage. The AFP is "working closely with our partners at the border and overseas" to disrupt the importation of such drugs into Australia, he said. 'This is not a victimless crime. The drugs these individuals carry fuel violence, addiction and organised crime in our communities. Every kilogram seized is a blow to the networks that profit from harm and a reminder that Australia is not an easy target," Detective Superintendent Blunden said.
