The internet has been in a frenzy over the viral ‘ColdplayGate’ scandal that erupted during Coldplay’s concert at Gillette Stadium. Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and his HR chief, Kristin Cabot, were caught in an intimate moment on the ‘Kiss Cam,’ sparking rumours of an affair, especially since Byron is married. Things escalated when his wife, Megan Kerrigan, shared the viral video on Instagram. Amid the chaos, a supposed apology from Byron began circulating online. But here’s the twist: the statement is entirely fake, confirmed by Astronomer itself.
