00:00These secret lovers got caught cheating in the worst possible way,

00:03on a huge stadium jumbotron at a massive Coldplay concert.

00:06Now, the mega-viral story just keeps getting worse,

00:09after the adulterers were identified as the CEO and head of HR of a major tech company.

00:14Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy.

00:18It all started innocently enough when the band Coldplay took the stage at Gillette Stadium in Boston,

00:23but it ended with Andy Byron and his date Kristen Cabot, uh, facing the music,

00:27when the band's camera crew began filming random fans in the crowd.

00:30It was a perfectly wholesome and joyful moment for each fan featured,

00:34that is, until the camera landed on one cuddled-up couple.

00:37Yeah, oh, look at these two. All right, come on, you okay?

00:41The pair was visibly shocked once they realized their faces had been broadcast across the stadium

00:46filled with 55,000 other concertgoers.

00:49The woman immediately covered her face and turned away from the camera,

00:52while the stunned man ducked down and exited the frame.

00:55Frontman Chris Martin then joked that either they're having an affair or they're just very shy.

01:00Oh my god!

01:02Holy s***.

01:04I hope we didn't lose that bad. All right, okay.

01:06The clip instantly went viral due to the lover's horrified reactions

01:09and made it seem quite likely the two lovebirds were indeed caught having an affair.

01:13As the viral moments spread across the internet like wildfire,

01:17details about the not-so-discreet sweethearts emerged and confirmed what everyone had suspected.

01:22Coldplay threw a couple on the kiss cam. Turns out they were having an affair?

01:26It turned out that Chris Martin was right.

01:28The couple was identified as Andy Byron and Kristen Cabot,

01:31who were not only married to other people,

01:33they were both colleagues at a tech company called Astronomer.

01:36Two married co-workers embarking on a secret love affair is bad enough.

01:39But somehow, things kept getting worse for Byron and Cabot.

01:42You see, Andy and Kristen weren't just co-workers at Astronomer.

01:45Andy was the company's CEO, and Kristen was their HR chief.

01:49You know, the top executive of the department that enforces strict rules around unethical office

01:54romances? While many commenters felt like the embarrassment of being caught in 4K

01:58was punishment enough for Byron and Cabot. But the outrageous impact of their bizarre public

02:03scandal resulted in harsh consequences for the executives. CEO Byron was forced to resign

02:08from his role after failing to meet company standards, in an official statement from Astronomer.

02:13As for Chief People Officer Cabot, she's allegedly been placed on leave.

02:16Random kiss cams on Jumbotrons have been a thing at live sports events for ages.

02:21And awkward moments from fans in the stands caught on camera are nothing new.

02:24But at least Coldplay has taken note of the chaos they accidentally caused.

02:28They're now giving a warning with crowds before the kiss cam part of their performance.

02:32We'd like to say hello to some of you in the crowd.

02:35How we're going to do that is we're going to use our cameras and put some of you on the big screen.

02:39As for the random Coldplay fan who caught the scandalous viral moment on camera and shared

02:46it on social media, she had this to say when asked why she pushed publish on that video post.

02:51A part of me feels bad for turning these people's lives upside down, but play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
