Gwyneth Paltrow steps up as spokesperson amid scandal
Gwyneth Paltrow, the ex-wife of Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, has taken on the role of 'temporary spokesperson' for the data automation company Astronomer. This follows a viral scandal that shook the business world. The CEO, Andy Byron, and the Chief People Officer, Kristin Cabot, caught public attention when they shared an intimate embrace. This sparked intense scrutiny on the company. They were caught on a kiss-cam during a Coldplay concert in Boston on 16 July 2025. This incident sparked widespread rumours of an affair and ultimately led to both executives' resignations, according to Page Six. In a tongue-in-cheek video released on Astronomer's LinkedIn and other social media pages on 25 July 2025, Paltrow introduced herself with a smile. 'I've been hired on a very temporary basis to speak on behalf of the 300-plus employees at Astronomer.' She addressed the flood of questions the company had received lately, deftly sidestepping the allegations of a scandalous affair. When the on-screen text posed the question 'OMG! What the actual f—,' she replied with a quip.'Yes! Astronomer is the best place to run Apache Airflow,' referring to the firm's data workflow software. She added, 'We're thrilled to see so many people suddenly interested in data workflow automation.' The actress continued by responding to another question about managing social media. She also seized the opportunity to promote the company's upcoming Beyond Analytics event in September, inviting people to join. In her closing remarks, Paltrow said, 'Now, we'll return to what we do best… delivering game-changing results for our customers. Thank you for your interest in Astronomer.' This light-hearted video aimed to reclaim the narrative and restore confidence in Astronomer after the unexpected negative attention. Chris Martin himself joked about the viral moment during the Boston concert, saying, 'Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy,' which further fueled the online buzz. Following the scandal, both Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot resigned swiftly. The incident also drove a surge in Coldplay's streaming numbers, with a 25% rise in on-demand audio streams reported in the days after the concert. This showed how a viral scandal can unexpectedly benefit the band's popularity. She made light of the situation while focusing on the company's strengths. By leveraging her public profile, particularly as Martin's former wife, Astronomer has managed to soften the blow. The company redirect attention to its core business in data automation, a field increasingly relevant worldwide, including South Africa's growing tech sector. Industry observers have described the exchange as 'a clever PR move.' They noted that Paltrow's involvement brings a blend of humour and star power that helps Astronomer emerge from the scandal with a refreshed public image.
