New footage of cosy CEO embrace at Coldplay concert emerges
Newly discovered video shows a fresh angle to Astronomer CEO Andy Bryon wrapping his arms around his HR chief, Kristin Cabot, at the Coldplay show where their cheating was caught on the kiss-cam. A fan shared the footage of Coldplay frontman Chris Martin singing up close — with the disgraced former CEO cuddling Cabot on a balcony behind him, reports the New York Post. 'POV: Trying to get the best photo of Coldplay but you end up getting this viral affair as well,' the caption read, with the pair seen swinging to the music together in the first row of the mezzanine. Byron and Cabot — who are both married to other people — were caught copying up at the concert when they were unexpectedly caught on the kiss-cam in a notoriously viral video. The pair, while initially smiling, started to panic under the spotlight, with Cabot quickly covering her face and Byron ducking out of view, the viral video shows. Coldpay's Martin, seeming a bit confused by the awkward situation, joked, 'Either they're having an affair or they're very shy.' The video immediately took the internet by storm, and the couple faced swift repercussions. Andy was forced to resign from Astronomer over the scandal, and Cabot has been placed on leave.

‘Poor taste': Amul topical features viral ‘kiss cam' couple from Coldplay concert, netizens disapprove
A Coldplay concert recently sent the Internet into a frenzy after a pair of concertgoers appeared on the jumbotron at the venue, also called the 'kiss cam'. As the meme fest continues, Amul, India's beloved dairy brand, too jumped on the bandwagon. While Amul's advertisements are often well-received, the new ad featuring the 'Coldplay couple' has not landed well on social media. The kiss cam footage from the concert had triggered a scandal as it involved Astronomer's then-CEO Andy Bryon and Kristin Cabot, the company's HR head. Amul's new poster features a doodle of the controversial couple, with the iconic Amul girl on the side. It also included a cheeky reference to the iconic song from the 1973 Hindi film Bobby. 'Hum tum ek camera mein bandh ho! (You and I are locked in a camera.) Only Scoops, no oops!' the text on the ad read. Sharing the post, Amul wrote, 'Amul Topical: Couple caught on 'kiss cam' at Coldplay concert!' See the viral post here: Amul Topical: Couple caught on 'kiss cam' at Coldplay concert! — (@Amul_Coop) July 21, 2025 However, the ad did not sit well with several social media users, who slammed the brand for stooping low. 'Not expected amul to join this Coldplay couple meme bandwagon,' a user wrote. 'This is in poor taste for your standards, please don't fall for such trending topics,' another user commented. 'What's this, why this? Not expected from the Amul creative team,' a third user reacted. Meanwhile, a new video of Coldplay's frontman, Chris Martin, has emerged in which he warns concertgoers of the jumbotron seconds before the viral moment. In the footage, Martin is seen saying, 'Now what we would like to do is say hello to some of you. The way we're going to do that is, using our cameras, you can look at the screens and we can see who is out there and say hello. Let's go looking, please.' 'Either they are having an affair or they are just very shy. I hope we didn't do something bad,' he quickly said after the camera panned onto Byron and Cabot. Following the scandal, Astronomer released an official statement informing that Andy Bryon resigned as the CEO.

Viral social media account pretending to be Coldplay concert CEO's daughter exposed as fake
A French model has denied she is the daughter of former Astronomer CEO after a viral TikTok account appearing to use videos of her for content. The account, @marinagirll, appeared two days ago, shortly after the infamous Coldplay kiss cam moment which caught former Astronomer CEO Andy Bryon hugging the company's head of HR Kristin Cabot. The account captioned one viral video, 'Reconnecting with life after your dad's affair makes national news' with the woman tying her hair up whilst standing at an outside fire pit, which angered many users on TikTok. One commentor said 'Wow imagines using your dad's affair to get famous. You're a nobody lol. Check in on your mom maybe... ?" TikToker Lizthemillienial posted a video saying the video was not real. A photo posted by his wife to Facebook shows Mr Bryon with his two sons, but there were no posts or photos that prove that he has a daughter. The videos on the Marina Bryon account were allegedly taken from the social media of a French model and singer-songwriter, Julie Tuzet. Miss Tuzet, who lives in Paris, posted to TikTok that she is not the CEO's daughter. She said, 'Guys, I am not the CEO's daughter. You probably saw this video of me at a fireplace reconnecting with nature. It's just someone who stole my videos and content from TikTok to create this fake news, and it's going viral. The TikTok account comes after Mr Byron resigned as CEO of Astronomer, an AI tech firm based in New York. The firm posted a statement to X over the weekend stating that they were investigating the video after the incident at Coldplay's Boston concert went viral. It is unclear whether or not Ms Cabot will be forced to resign, but she currently remains in post whilst the investigation is ongoing.

Coldplay CEO's ‘daughter' responds to scandal
Don't miss out on the headlines from Real Life. Followed categories will be added to My News. A social media account claiming to be the daughter of Astronomer's ex-CEO Andy Bryon, who was caught on the Coldplay kiss-cam allegedly cheating, went viral over the weekend, pulling in millions of views before the truth emerged. The account, calling itself ThatMarinagirll, launched just a day after the Bryon scandal hit headlines, claiming to be Marina Byron, the supposedly 23-year-old daughter dealing with her dad's very public affair. It already has nearly 200k followers. In her first clip, warming herself next to an open fire, Marina said she was 'reconnecting with life after your dad's affair makes national news'. That video alone amassed 36 million views in a few days. What followed was a steady stream of self-aware, tongue-in-cheek content, including mentions of family group chats and poking fun at rich-kid stereotypes. One video responded to a comment that read: 'I don't feel bad for rich people,' while Marina ran around on the deck of a private yacht looking carefree. A woman has claimed to be the daughter of Andy Bryon, the ex-CEO at the centre of the Coldplay kiss-cam scandal. Picture: TikTok/thatmarinagirll Others showed screenshots of text exchanges between her and her friends, where they discussed the news. 'I thought it was your dad's doppelganger,' one of the friends says. Marina replies: 'I saw it early this morning … Lord help us'. In another, Marina claims to be texting her mum, who is allegedly processing the news by doing breathwork and manifestation. By the fourth video, the account was promoting a company called Triips, a discount travel website. 'Thanks for the $35 flight, I'm basically healed,' the caption read. She made several videos over the weekend claiming to be dealing with her father's alleged affair. Picture: TikTok/thatmarinagirll The videos were flooded with comments, split into three clear groups. Some offered sympathy, others criticised her for 'capitalising' on her dad's cheating scandal, and some simply didn't believe any of it was real. 'This is honestly iconic. Making lemonade out of lemons,' said one. 'I'm so sorry that happened to you, your mum and family. Infidelity is traumatising for the whole family,' another commented. 'I hope you are healing in any way you can from all of this,' said a third. The account amassed nearly 200k followers in just a few days. Picture: TikTok/thatmarinagirll But not everyone was buying it. 'Trying to go viral off your dad's affair is absolutely insane,' one blunt comment read. 'Wow, imagine using your dad's affair to get famous,' said someone else. Then, scepticism began to surface. 'She isn't his child, y'all,' claimed one. 'It's giving ad,' wrote another. 'Impostor check,' added a third. One account, LizTheMillennial, even created a video claiming the account was fake and that the profile was banning any comments that attempted to share the truth. But people quickly began to grow sceptical of the account. Picture: TikTok/LizTheMillennial So, does Andy Bryon have a daughter? According to public records, Andy Bryon doesn't have a daughter. Bryon and his wife Megan Kerrigan have two sons. There's no mention of a daughter named Marina Bryon. Up until the cheating scandal went viral, Kerrigan was posting happy family photos on Facebook, including their two sons. It appears that the CEO doesn't actually have a daughter, just two sons. Picture: Facebook/MeganKerrigan Bryon's wife, Megan Kerrigan posted happy snaps of the family of four to Facebook, before the alleged affair went public. Facebook/MeganKerrigan Meanwhile, Elon Musk's xAI's bot Grok also fact-checked the claims on social media. 'Based on extensive review … there is no credible evidence of anyone named Marina being Andy Byron's daughter. Confirmed: He and his wife have two sons only. This claim seems baseless or mistaken,' Grok wrote on X. Kerrigan hasn't made any formal comment about the scandal, but reportedly removed her married name from her Facebook last week and has since deleted her account. No one in the family has publicly commented on the incident. Picture: Supplied Adding yet another twist, the videos on the Marina Bryon account were allegedly taken from the social media of a French model and singer-songwriter, Julie Tuzet. Tuzet came forward over the weekend to clear her name. 'Guys, I am not the CEO's daughter. You probably saw this video of me at a fireplace reconnecting with nature. It's just someone who stole my videos and content from TikTok to create this fake news, and it's going viral,' she said in her own TikTok. The real woman in the video made a TikTok claiming the account was impersonating her, and she wasn't the CEO's daughter. Picture: TikTok/julietuzet She is a model and singer-songwriter and says her videos often get stolen online. Picture: TikTok/julietuzet 'Please help me report that person because she blocked me, so I can't report it. I also can't comment anything because she is checking each comment so they don't tag my real account. 'But stay safe, don't believe everything you see on the internet, and help me spread this news because it's wild.' Once the alleged hoax was revealed, many viewers admitted to falling for it. 'Damn, I fell for it, thanks for the truth,' said one comment. 'Makes you really sit down and think what else is fake,' another mused. Another said they felt like they 'got played'. has reached out to ThatMarinaGirll, Julie Tuzet and Triips for comment. Originally published as Coldplay CEO's 'daughter' responds to scandal
