Oh my goodness, talk about worst ideas of all time… Here’s what the entire Internet believes just happened:  Allegedly but probably almost certainly based on everything in the video, it sure looks like Astronomer CEO Andy Byron was having an affair with “Top People Officer” a/k/a HR Chief Kristin Cabot and he took her to a Coldplay concert where the two were featured on the jumbotron and immediately panicked. Chris Martin then muses from the stage that he thinks they just got busted for having an affair and basically the entire Internet agrees with him.

A “kiss cam” moment broadcast at a Coldplay concert struck a scandalous note when it apparently exposed a cheating tech tycoon and his head-of-HR mistress — as the band’s frontman, Chris Martin, mused that they must be “having an affair.” The couple — identified as Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and the firm’s chief human resources officer, Kristin Cabot — scrambled to hide their faces when an image of them canoodling appeared on the jumbotron at Gillette Stadium near Boston on Wednesday night. Cabot covered her face and quickly turned her back while Byron ducked down out of view, prompting some laughter from the crowd. The woman in the video has been identified as Astronomer’s chief human resources officer, Kristin Cabot. Astronomer CEO gushed about chief people officer’s hiring — months before getting caught on Coldplay’s kiss cam “Oh, what?” Martin can be heard declaring with confusion on stage, according to TikTok footage. “Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy.” The pair appear to work closely together at Astronomer, an AI and data company valued at about $1.2 billion. When Cabot was hired in November of last year, Byron gushed about her 20 years of HR experience and “exceptional leadership” skills. Meanwhile, Cabot said her conversations with Martin before her hiring had “energized” her.
