[Retro]

Gotta love this mini scandal, it's just too funny.

What could possibly be wrong with a couple in love cuddling at a concert suddenly showing up on the venue's big screen? Well, when he's married (with kids) and that's not his wife! Oh dear... Check out the awkward moment in the video below.

Here's a detailed article on this, along with a statement from the guilty man, Andy Byron. tsk, so naughty. I wonder how his wife must be feeling and I'll bet there was a bit of a domestic...

US technology company Astronomer says its chief executive officer, Andy Byron, has been "placed on leave" amid an internet scandal sparked by a viral video from a Coldplay concert.

The company, based in New York, said another employee would be acting in Mr Byron's role and it would provide more updates "in the coming days".

The announcement came a few hours after Astronomer, which makes software that helps companies implement workflow management technology, said it was launching a "formal investigation" into the matter.

Disgusting and bloody hilarious at the same time Poetic justice.

Not only the major conflict of interest, but the cheating!

The fallout continues. I don't think the harassment and abuse that Kristin Cabot is suffering since being caught out like that is justified. It's her own business, no one else's.

She was separated from her husband at the time for a start and it shouldn't cost her career and make her "unemployable" as employers are now branding her. She's received lots of death threats, too.

An HR executive caught on the big screen at a Coldplay concert embracing her boss has described how "the harassment has never ended" following the viral moment.

Kristin Cabot has spoken publicly for the first time about the video in which she was seen hugging Andy Byron, then-CEO of tech company Astronomer, at the show in July, before they abruptly ducked and hid from the camera.

Ms Cabot, 53, who was the company's chief people officer, stepped down following Mr Byron's resignation after the firm announced he would be placed on leave and investigated.

Speaking to the Times, Ms Cabot said she is looking for another job but has been told she is "unemployable".
