It shows Paltrow answering mock questions from the public, poking fun at the company's sudden fame after its top brass was caught in an apparent affair. — astronomerio (@astronomerio) However, netizens were quick to point out that the Coldplay concert where the incident occurred was headlined by Chris Martin, Paltrow's ex-husband and the father of her two children. The scandal began when Astronomer's CEO Andy Byron and Head of HR Kristin Cabot were caught on the kiss cam during a Coldplay show at Gillette Stadium on July 16. Their awkward, panicked reaction quickly went viral on social media. Coldplay frontman Chris Martin even called them out mid-show, joking they were 'having an affair.'
