Andy Byron, the former CEO of data orchestration company Astronomer, is reportedly considering legal action against British rock band Coldplay and the organizers of one of their recent concerts over a widely circulated kiss cam video.
The viral footage, which captured a moment between Byron and Astronomer’s Head of Human Resources, Kristin Cabot, during a Coldplay concert in Massachusetts, has stirred significant controversy online. According to sources close to the matter, Byron claims the incident resulted in emotional distress and constituted an invasion of privacy.
While no formal lawsuit has been filed as of yet, legal representatives for Byron are said to be exploring options, citing the reputational damage and personal fallout caused by the video’s widespread circulation on social media platforms.
In a related development, Byron\’s wife, Megan Kerrigan Byron, has initiated divorce proceedings. Reports indicate that she is seeking a settlement of $200 million as part of the ongoing separation.
Coldplay and the event organizers are yet to issue any public response to the situation. Further updates will follow as the situation unfolds.
