What was meant to be a lighthearted moment during Coldplay’s Wednesday night concert turned into a full blown public relations disaster for a high flying tech CEO and the footage is nothing short of mortifying.

During the band’s performance at Gillette Stadium in Boston frontman Chris Martin decided to spice up the crowd with the classic kiss cam. But what happened next left the audience gasping the internet spiraling and one billion dollar CEO potentially facing a career ending scandal.

“Oh Look at These Two” A Kiss Cam Catastrophe
As the camera panned across the thousands of fans in attendance, it suddenly landed on Andy Byron, the married CEO of Astronomer, a software development firm reportedly valued at over $1 billion, and his Chief People Officer, Kristin Cabot.

The pair looked cozy, too cozy. Byron had his arms wrapped around Cabot, who leaned in closely, smiling, but as soon as they noticed themselves on Coldplay’s kiss cam, they panicked and made the situation much worse. Byron let go immediately, ducking behind a barrier like a man caught red-handed, while Cabot buried her face in her hands, visibly flustered.

HR is just modernized SS gestapo without the skulls pins or uniforms.

Change my mind.

HR? Rules for thee but not for me? LOL

that’ll be an expensive divorce

Plus, both will likely be fired.

I don't know. The behavior seems entirely consistent with her role as a human resource.

Revenge is a dish best served Coldplay.

Ceffer says

why are they even trying to pretend to be moral when they aren’t. that’s what i don’t get about wokeness. maybe someone here can explain.

they aren’t a church, their morality is whatever culture, they aren’t truthful about it but pretend. i don’t get the point.

plus the woman from HR, she’s just as part of it. she’s no innocent spring child. so why pretend?

Byron's wife showed up and beat the HR concubine with a folding chair, just like in the Jerry Springer days.

This is sooo fucktarded. Were they on drugs or something?

Few more videos popping up part of others while camera panning out where both appear to be kissing each other!
Business is doing well. May be that gave him over confidence and push ethical boundaries.

Business magazine sites like inc.com strongly suggested to fire him from the job is because he’s cheating his wife and no one can trust his leadership skills.
After the board meeting, he “resigned”!
I read somewhere that HR lady husband is a CEO!

if those videos come out, that’ll be a fiery divorce proceeding for Andy. it already is bad.

I do not think they were fired for cheating on a spouse, they were fired because a boss had an affair with a subordinate. That will get you fired anywhere, married or not. Boss-subordinate affairs are taboo because of the obvious favoritism and the potential sexual harassment lawsuits.

that makes sense. i see. they both probably got let go since both were in position of authority.

Ironically, since she was head of Human Resources, she likely had to fire people who had in-office affairs.

don’t think that’s a firable offense. i can be wrong, im not corporate. just judging based on how often i hear about coworkers dating.

I guess HR's 'No Panties Friday' didn't work out as expected. Or, maybe it did. I'm confused.

One can date coworkers no problem. The issue is one cannot date a subordinate.

Work/company policy, sure. But you can date/kiss/fuck whoever you want at any time as long as they're of legal age. Fine he was married, that's a dip shit move. If you don't like your wife leave them. If your company has a policy against being with other staff intimately, leave the company.

I really don't even understand why this is a story besides stirring up soap opera type drama. Does anyone actually care? I sure as shit don't. He's a douche bag for messing around behind his wife's back and that's it. I get the double standard with the CEO and HR, but who gives a shit?

The Coldplay jokes are funny though.

Of all things you post that display what an alternate reality you live in from the rest of us, this is a biggee.

Count yourself lucky in your ignorance. Seriously. I am not ribbing you. Enjoy it.

It's like the old Hollywood PI strategy of setting up a cheating spouse with a honeytrap at a designated hotel, then barging in with the flash bulbs popping and a camera for divorce proceedings, only this one happened by accident on television.

Karma comes in strange packages.
