00:00An update on the Coldplay concert affair. This is Andy Byron, the CEO of the data company
00:05Astronomer, and Kristen Cabot, the chief people officer of the same company. Yep, they're both
00:10married. Not to each other, but it gets worse. Sitting directly next to them was Alyssa Stoddard,
00:15senior director of people at Astronomer, a newer hire who just got promoted. And based on her
00:19reaction, it was obvious that this was not a sponge, spontaneous, innocent outing. One thing
00:24is clear, the entire company might have known something was up. One user even wrote, that's
00:29going to be one awkward board meeting, if not a couple divorces too. As for Andy's actual wife,
00:33she's moving swiftly. She's already removed his last name from her social profiles, deleted all
00:38their photos together, and gone completely silent, while her comments are flooded with messages of
00:42heartbreak and support. One of the top comments reads, SIS, lawyer up, you deserve so much better.
00:47Meanwhile, Kristen's been wiped from Astronomers, Up About Us page, in what some are calling a quiet
00:52internal response to the firestorm. It's unclear if Andy will follow, but this level of viral
00:57attention may force action. What Coldplay thought was just a cute fan cam moment has turned into a
01:02full-on HR disaster with 20 M-plus views, a potential divorce, and an entire tech company
01:07dragged into public scandal.
