A 20-second cuddle at a Coldplay concert turned two anonymous executives into global villains, and a viral cautionary tale about power, privacy, and the wrath of the internet.

A viral theory claims Megan Kerrigan knew about the affair between Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot and deliberately orchestrated their ‘public exposé.’

Tech executive Andy Byron was caught on a jumbotron at a Coldplay concert embracing a woman reported to be his company's chief human resources officer. The woman in question, Kristin Cabot, has subsequently deleted her LinkedIn profile. Newsweek contacted Astronomer for comment via email on Friday outside regular working hours.
