Still in Linkedin, the company had already commented, informing that it began a formal investigation to clarify the case, as well as denying the false statement attributed to Byron: “Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that has guided us from our foundation. Our leaders are expected to establish the pattern of conduct and responsibility.”
The controversy began when Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot, hitherto anonymous faces, were caught embraced in an intimate moment during a Coldplay concert in the United States. In performances and games, it is common for Kiss Cam, a camera that highlights couples in the audience, encourages a kiss. However, when they realized that they were being filmed clinging in a coma of novel, the two moved away quickly and tried to hide their face.
The band’s singer, Chris Martin, even played saying that the couple was having an affair or was just very shy. The video went viral, and their identity was revealed: both work in the same company, but are married to others, which reinforced the suspicion of the singer. So far, neither has commented on the case.
