You gotta be careful in 2025… fake AI news stories and fabricated statements from CEOs about their affairs can fool anybody.
I’m sure that by now you’ve heard the news that a tech CEO was caught red-handed (allegedly) cheating on his spouse at a Coldplay concert. The story – albeit a very personal one at the root of things – has captured the intention of the social media world. Everyone wants to know more about Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and his alleged affair with his company’s human resources chief Kristin Cabot.
If you haven’t seen the video already, the viral clips shows Byron and his work subordinate cuddled up at the concert, and getting exposed by the jumbotron camera operator. They quickly separated and tried to hide their faces, but the damage was already done. Social media is forever, and one person just so happened to be recording the proceedings when it all went down. And it’s wild to hear Coldplay frontman Chris Martin narrate what was unfolding in real time:
“Oh look at these two. Oh come on, you’re okay. What? Either they’re having an affair, or they’re just very shy.”
