Fake Statement Circulates About CEO’s Coldplay Concert Kiss Cam Incident

A misleading statement attributed to Andy Byron, CEO of Astronomer, has gone viral online, claiming he issued a public apology following a kiss cam scandal during a Coldplay concert. However, the company confirmed to a major outlet that the statement is fake and not authentic.

The false declaration appeared to address an incident where Byron, who is married, was seen cuddling with an employee, Kristin Cabot, during the concert. The fabricated message expressed regret over turning a private moment into a public spectacle and called for more consideration of personal boundaries in the entertainment industry.

In reality, the company’s representatives clarified that the supposed statement was fabricated. They stated explicitly that it “is not a real statement,” condemning the circulation of false information regarding Byron and Cabot, who were seen attempting to hide during the event.

The incident made headlines after a video captured Byron and Cabot together, prompting reactions from concert attendees, including Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, who jokingly remarked that the couple’s awkward attempts to hide suggested they were either shy or involved in an affair. Images of Byron and Cabot at the concert show them trying to conceal themselves, with some social media posts pointing out that the “apology” addressed their attempts to avoid the camera.

The fake statement also appeared to take a subtle jab at a woman who filmed and posted the viral clip, suggesting that artists and entertainers should respect personal privacy and avoid turning private moments into public spectacles. It closed with lyrics from Coldplay’s 2005 hit, “Fix You.”

Byron, Cabot, and Byron’s wife, Megan Kerrigan, have yet to address the incident publicly. Meanwhile, Coldplay’s performance and interactions at the show continue to attract curiosity from fans, with some joking about whether anything else noteworthy happened during the event.
