The CEO affair scandal that unravelled at a Coldplay concert has seen a rather surprising celebrity weigh in with a ‘savage’ statement.
In case you’ve been living under a rock, a ‘kiss cam’ at the gig shone its giant spotlight on a scandal that went on to grip the internet.
Married man Andy Byron, the now former CEO of Astronomer, was seen in a cosy embrace with his HR rep, Kristin Cabot, on the jumbotron, prompting the pair to quickly separate as they attempted to duck out of view.
However, it was too late as Coldplay front man Chris Martin spotted the moment and said to the crowd: “Either they’re having an affair, or they’re just very shy.”
Since the viral incident, Byron was placed on leave from the company and subsequently decided to resign from his position while Cabot too has reportedly left.

Now, almost two weeks since the tech company boss departed, a surprising celebrity has been hired by Astronomer on a ‘very temporary basis’ to speak on behalf of the company.
The footage, simply captioned by the company on its social media channels: “Thank you for your interest in Astronomer,” saw none other than Martin’s own ex-wife, Gwyneth Paltrow, comment on the situation.
Paltrow, who was married to the 48-year-old singer from 2003 to 2016, appears sat at a desk in business attire to drop a quick announcement.
“I’ve been hired on a very temporary basis to speak on behalf of the 300-plus employees at Astronomer,” she began, adding that the organization has had ‘a lot of questions over the last few days.’
The Golden Globe winner said she was hired to answer some common burning questions, starting with “OMG! What the actual f***?”
“Yes,” Paltrow said in a soothing tone. “Astronomer is the best place to run pache Airflow, unifying the experience of running data, ML and AI pipelines at scale. We’ve been thrilled so many people have a new found interest in data workflow automation.”

The second question poised: “How is your social media team holding…” to which Paltrow hilariously cut off before the rest of the question loaded, saying: “Yes! There is still room available at our Beyond Analytics event in September.”
“We will now be returning to what we do best, which is delivering game-changing results for our customers. Thank you for your interest in Astronomer,” she concluded.
Dozens have since reacted to the tongue-in-cheek clip, as one wrote on Twitter: “You got Chris Martin’s ex wife???!!! Savage.”
“You hired the Coldplay singer’s ex-wife. Extraordinary,” another added.
A third also applauded the company for the genius marketing ploy, writing: “Guys this is a PR masterclass. You take the most viral moment of July 2025 and, instead of disaster control, make light of the situation and create the ultimate brand awareness.”
“Bravo.”
“One of the best crisis responses I’ve ever seen in my life,” a fourth chimed.
