Astronomer has released a statement after its married CEO was filmed reacting awkwardly after being caught on camera embracing a co-worker at a recent Coldplay concert.
CEO Andy Byron was captured on the band's "kiss cam" during their latest concert in Massachusetts, standing behind the company's HR chief Kristin Cabot, with his arms wrapped around her waist as they bobbed to the music together.
As frontman Chris Martin said into the microphone: "Oh, look at these two," Cabot was seen looking shocked and covering her face, while Byron ducked down and disappeared out of shot, never to be seen again.
Cabot then turned her back to the camera as Martin joked: "Alright, come on - you're ok. Ok, what? Either they're having an affair, or they're just very shy."
The footage quickly went viral after it was discovered that Cabot and Byron are both married to other people, however, the nature of their personal relationship remains unconfirmed.
A statement soon emerged which appeared to show Byron apologizing for the clip, finishing with a Coldplay lyric, however, Astronomer has confirmed the statement is fake.
According to TMZ, Astronomer told the outlet that the image that has been shared is "not a real statement", but did not respond to address whether Byron would be releasing an official statement of his own.
Byron and Cabot have yet to address the situation publicly, and Astronomer has released no further statement as yet.
