Andy Byron, the now-former CEO of the data analytics firm Astronomer, has found himself at the center of an even messier viral firestorm.

A tech company whose boss was filmed hugging a colleague at a Coldplay concert has said a purported statement from him expressing remorse is fake.

Last Wednesday, while at the Coldplay concert in Boston, Byron and Kristin Cabot, a top HR executive at Astronomer, were caught canoodling on the big screen.

The wife of former Astronomer CEO Andy Byron is reportedly holed up in a $2.4 million Maine mansion since her husband was caught on camera at a Coldplay concert cozying up with his HR chief.

Andy Byron, who has found himself at the center of a social media firestorm over a Coldplay concert video, was the CEO of a tech company named Astronomer. On July 19, the company announced that Byron has resigned in the wake of the scandal.
