Gwyneth Paltrow breaks silence after Coldplay scandal as she's 'hired' by firm
Gwyneth Paltrow, the Academy Award-winning star and former spouse of Coldplay's Chris Martin, surprised fans with a cheeky cameo on Astronomer's LinkedIn page this week. She stepped in as the company's "temporary spokesperson" following a viral workplace scandal that saw its ex-CEO step down. The video emerged amid intense public scrutiny after the former Astronomer CEO and the Head of HR resigned in the wake of being spotted on the kiss-cam at a Coldplay concert in Boston on July 16. Their reaction became a talking point when Chris Martin, Paltrow's ex-husband, quipped during the show that they were either "having an affair or just shy". Following the incident and subsequent uproar, both individuals vacated their roles amid claims that the episode exposed underlying issues at the tech company. They have yet to make any public statements or respond to our enquiries for comment. In what appears to be a light-hearted response to the drama, Astronomer posted a video featuring Paltrow posing as a corporate representative, according to Mirror US. The now infamous image from the concert of the pair. Gwyneth Paltrow Opening the video, she says, "Thank you for your interest in Astronomer. Hi, I'm Gwyneth Paltrow," donning a smart blue button-down shirt, reports the Mirror. Paltrow humorously claims, "I've been hired on a very temporary basis to speak on behalf of the 300-plus employees at Astronomer. Astronomers have received a lot of questions in the last few days, and they wanted me to answer the most common ones. "Yes! Astronomer is the best place to run Apache Airflow," she enthusiastically replied when asked. "We've been thrilled that so many people have a newfound interest in data workflow automation. As for the other questions we've received. Yes, there is still room available at our Beyond Analytics event in September. "We will now be returning to what we do best, delivering game-changing results for our customers. Thank you for your interest in Astronomer." The cheeky video certainly stirred up some banter in the comments section. "Thanks, but I still don't know what Astronomer or TechChoice do," one user quipped. Another added their two cents with, "And an Astronomer shows how it can see beyond a sky full of stars! Cold! Well played! !". "Clever way to reach the right audience, unexpected but memorable. Though I have to say, the question and answer felt like they were on different airflows entirely. Unless that was the point... to show how things that drift off still find their way back?" another joined the conversation.
