New twist in the viral Coldplay concert scandal -- the company behind the CEO busted in an alleged affair says a supposed statement from Andy Byron that's gone viral is totally fake.
00:00Everybody knows about this video at the Coldplay concert, where the CEO of Astronomer was basically holding the human resources employee there, and when the camera came on them, the Jumbotron, they ducked for cover, but it didn't work.
00:17We waited all day yesterday to see if any of them were going to issue a statement, because this is a big company, this is the CEO, and we thought maybe the company would say something.
00:28Maybe the guy would say something.
00:31He didn't, so we're going to tell you, Andy Byron, late in the day yesterday, people thought, finally, Andy Byron, the CEO, was speaking out about this.
00:40He didn't.
00:41We will explain that in a second, but we've got to show you, there's no way you haven't seen it, but it's certainly worth seeing again.
00:48This is the moment Andy Byron and Kristen Cabot are at the Coldplay concert.
00:58Either they're having an affair or they've turned shut.
01:02Look at her.
01:03That is brutal.
01:04She's got to be a friend of theirs.
01:06I think she's also in HR.
01:09Well, she knows what's going on.
01:11Of course, she's there with them at the concert.
01:13She knows what's going on.
01:15Uh-oh.
01:16So we've been waiting, we were waiting all day yesterday for some statement.
01:20So at the end of the day, something crosses our desk.
01:22Yes, Andy Byron, there was a post that went up on X where it said, this is a statement from the CEO, Andy Byron, about what happened at Coldplay.
01:33We've been reaching out to them all day, like you said, right?
01:35Trying to get a statement.
01:36The only thing they responded to was when I sent them this, saying this has started to circulate, and they said, this is a fake statement.
01:43And directed me to the person who actually created it, and it's a guy, Peter Ennis.
01:48It's a parody account.
01:50Peter.
01:51Oh, Peter Ennis.
01:52Got it.
01:53Yeah.
01:53So this guy.
01:54I actually didn't get it.
01:56I get it now.
01:57So this guy created it, and so they're still not saying whether or not they're going to say it.
02:01Which is really weird.
02:02Now, Devin, you asked them, so they told you it's fake, and then you said, all right, well.
02:05Exactly.
02:06Is there going to be a real statement coming?
02:07Radio silence.
02:08Nothing.
02:09Radio silence.
02:09Radio silence.
02:10Nothing.
02:10So they've said nothing.
02:13I mean, again, the HR person.
02:16Yeah.
02:16By the head of HR, Kristen Cabot.
02:19Though no one has spoken out yet, I think the most telling thing is his wife, on her Facebook page, took off the last name.
02:27I think she just came out.
02:28I don't think she wanted people.
02:30That could also just be she's getting bombarded.
02:32Yes.
02:32For sure.
02:33It could be one of two things.
02:34But it also could be, like, she's separating herself from him, and maybe that shows that she's not on board.
02:40And certainly she didn't want all the phone calls.
02:44Look, we don't know anything, really know anything about Andy Byron and Kristen Cabot's, the nature of their relationship.
02:51Yeah, they were hugging.
02:52That was not a friendly hug.
02:54I wouldn't be cool with that.
02:55It's not a friendly hug.
02:57I'm just saying.
02:57No wife is cool.
02:59Do you want to imitate it in Seattle Co?
03:00No, no, no, no, no, no.
03:04So anyway.
03:05Well then, case pinpoint.
03:07So here's the thing.
03:08Chris Martin did this at the concert.
03:10It may have come and gone were it not for somebody who posted this.
03:17And tens of millions of views later.
03:21Yeah, basically, Grace Springer is the woman who launched a thousand memes.
03:26Because, by the way, if you go through online all the memes about this whole Coldplay incident, it is hilarious.
03:33And I think it's interesting that Coldplay is now code for something other than sappy music.
03:41I said it.
03:42Coldplay is super cool now.
03:45Everybody's going to go to Coldplay concerts to watch the Jumbotron.
