WATCH: Americans go crazy with adulterous kiss cam video spoofs, as company CEO quits in shame
The kiss cam video that snagged a couple in an apparent extramarital embrace has social media users cranking out a flurry of spoofs, as the company CEO has resigned in disgrace.
On Wednesday, Astronomer CEO Andy Byron was caught at Coldplay concert in Boston embracing Kristin Cabot, his company’s chief people officer.
“Oh, look at these two,” the band’s lead singer Chris Martin joked to the crowd. “All right, c’mon, you’re OK. Oh, what? Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy.”

Byron resigned Saturday after diving down to duck behind a stadium seat in the video, while Cabot, who is married with children, simply turned her back to the camera.
“Andy Byron has tendered his resignation, and the Board of Directors has accepted,” Astronomer announced online.
“The Board will begin a search for our next Chief Executive as Cofounder and Chief Product Officer Pete DeJoy continues to serve as interim CEO.”
“Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding. Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met.”
Newsweek reported: “Byron’s wife changed her last name on Facebook before deactivating her account.
“Megan Kerrigan Byron removed her last name and then swiftly deleted her Facebook account following the viral cheating allegations.”
Meanwhile, social media is capitalizing on the scandal with countless comedic posts, including:
