LONDON (AP) — A routine moment of crowdwork at a Coldplay concert went viral last week when a couple tried to avoid the spotlight after they were caught hugging on the jumbotron. Internet sleuths quickly figured out that they were the CEO and chief people officer of a little-known tech company called Astronomer.
Another employment attorney, William Cafaro, told The Post he believes from what he’s seen, booting Cabot would be easy, but he suspects the company and her might be wrangling over an exit deal.
The employer of a CEO reportedly seen in a viral "kiss cam" moment at a recent Coldplay concert says it is launching an investigation into the incident. Astronomer, a New York City-based data company, said in a statement Friday that a "formal investigation" has been launched by its board of directors.
The move comes a day after the company said that Andy Byron had been placed on leave and the board of directors had launched a formal investigation into the jumbotron incident, which went viral.
A scandal sparked by a couple of indiscreet Coldplay fans is providing fodder for country musicians at their own recent shows.
The viral claims of 'The Simpsons' predicting the Astronomer saga involving Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot have been debunked.
Coldplay's concert at Gillette Stadium on Wednesday took an unexpected turn when a couple caught on the jumbotron sparked debate online.
