New footage of the moment Astronomer CEO Andy Byron was busted canoodling with his HR head on a “kiss cam” at a Coldplay concert captured the audience wildly shrieking as the pair awkwardly tried to duck out of view.
The second angle emerged after the initial video, which has been viewed more than 50 million times, exploded online when the tech titan CEO and his chief human resources officer, Kristin Cabot, were caught embracing at the band’s Boston concert Wednesday night.
Taken from a different section of the arena, the fresh clip showed scores of fans screaming out as the cuddling couple scrambled to hide their faces when the jumbotron suddenly panned to them during the concert.
“Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy,” frontman Chris Martin could be heard saying as the audience cackled.
“I hope we didn’t do something bad,” the crooner later added when the pair vanished from the scene.
After Cabot was spotted turning her back to the camera and Byron ducked down out of view, the jumbotron moved on to another pair of fans dressed up in banana costumes.
Neither Byron nor Cabot, who both have families of their own, has spoken out yet about the sordid scandal.
Soon after the initial clip started exploding online, internet sleuths quickly determined that Byron appeared to be married to Megan Kerrigan Byron, while Cabot had recently divorced her husband, Kenneth Thornby.
“I had no idea who the couple was. Just thought I caught an interesting reaction to the kiss cam and decided to post it,” Grace Springer, who filmed the initial clip, told the US Sun in the wake of the fallout.
