Here is the latest on the CEO caught cheating on a Coldplay concert jumbotron

Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and the firm’s chief human resources officer, Kristin Cabot, scrambled to hide their faces when they were broadcast on a jumbotron canoodling at Gillette Stadium outside of Boston Wednesday night.

“Oh, what?” lead singer Chris Martin said with confusion on stage, according to TikTok footage. “Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy.”
