Another angle, more trouble

Just when the Coldplay kiss cam scandal seemed to cool, a new video reignites the affair that stunned the tech world.

This fresh clip shows former Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and HR chief Kristin Cabot openly swaying and cuddling on a balcony at a Coldplay concert—before the now-infamous kiss cam caught them red-handed.

Posted to TikTok, the footage was meant to show Chris Martin performing. But it quickly turned into more evidence of the now-executive’s extramarital tryst.

“POV: Trying to get the best photo of Coldplay but you end up getting this viral affair as well,” the caption read, as the couple appeared lost in each other—clearly unaware their secret would go public in seconds.

The kiss cam fallout

The original video of Byron and Cabot’s stunned reaction to being caught on the Coldplay jumbotron sent shockwaves across social media. At first, they smiled. Then panic set in. Cabot covered her face. Byron ducked out of frame.

Even Coldplay frontman Chris Martin noticed, quipping, “Either they’re having an affair or they’re very shy.”

Turns out, they weren’t shy. Just not ready to be found out.

Astronomer, the $1.3 billion company Byron once led, quickly announced his resignation. Cabot, the firm’s head of HR, was placed on leave. Both were married—to other people.

A concert turns career-killer

In the latest video, the pair can be seen standing—alone—in the front of their mezzanine section. Viewers didn’t hold back.

“They literally asked for this,” one TikTok user said.

Another wrote, “Of course they were going to be on the screen. They’re the only ones standing.”

One comment suggested the alternate angle provided “360 proof” for Byron’s wife, Megan.

Wife vanishes, marriage collapses

Megan Byron, blindsided by the public betrayal, has reportedly holed up in a $2.4 million mansion in coastal Maine. Since the video went viral, she’s scrubbed her husband’s name from social media and reverted to her maiden name—Kerrigan.

No public statement yet from her. But the silence speaks volumes.

As for Kristin Cabot’s husband? He’s no average guy either. Andrew Cabot is CEO of Privateer Rum. Neither he nor his company has commented.

Corporate damage and reshuffle

Astronomer acted swiftly to contain the scandal. Co-founder and Brooklyn native Pete DeJoy was named interim CEO. In an odd twist, the company credited the affair with making Astronomer “a household name.”

Despite the PR chaos, Astronomer’s leadership tried to spin the exposure into a branding moment. That hasn’t stopped users from mocking the firm’s HR policies, given the nature of the affair.

Some wondered how long the relationship had been going on behind closed office doors.

Internet can’t look away

The new video, now viewed over 2 million times, only fueled the fire.

“They could have sat and no one would have known,” one viewer commented.

Another joked, “She’s HR and couldn’t even manage this situation.”

The scandal has gripped TikTok, Instagram, Reddit, and even LinkedIn, where speculation and memes continue to trend.

Meanwhile, clips of Chris Martin’s stunned expression and his offhand remark are being stitched into parody videos, further cementing this as the most bizarre concert moment of the summer.

Damage done, trust shattered

For now, both Byron and Cabot are out of the spotlight—and out of their high-profile jobs.

But the internet has a long memory.

Whether more footage emerges or their marriages implode further, one thing is clear: when it comes to viral affairs, what happens on the kiss cam doesn’t stay on the kiss cam.
