What is the Coldplay kiss cam controversy? 

The Coldplay Boston concert became the biggest eyegrabber on social media after the kiss cam caught the Astronomer CEO, Andy Byron, along with the HR head of the company, Kristin Cabot. Upon being featured on the big screen, the duo appeared flushed and hid their faces away from the camera, making their alleged affair apparent. A video of the duo went viral, which snowballed into a full-blown scandal. At the moment, both have reported to have resigned from their post at Astronomer. In the latest update, the company has now hired Chris Martin’s ex-wife, Gwyneth Paltrow, as a ‘temporary spokesperson’ to help it manage the PR mess.
