For
everyone
who
thought
getting
caught
cheating
with
the
head
of
HR
at
a
Coldplay
concert
was
the
whitest
thing
a
man
could
do,
he’s
apparently
thinking
about
filing
suit
against
Coldplay.
For
those
of
you
who
aren’t
in
the
know,
the
former
CEO
of
Astronomer,
Andy
Byron,
was
caught
giving
a
co-worker
a
very
affectionate
hug
from
behind.
If
you
think
that
this
is
the
sort
of
thing
you’d
run
to
the
head
of
HR
about,
you’d
be
right.
The
run
would
also
be
pretty
short
considering
that
he
was
cozied
up
with
Astronomer’s
former
head
of
HR,
Kristen
Cabot.
If
you’d
like
to
join
one
of
the
~128
million
or
so
people
who
saw
the
infidelity
outing,
you
can
watch
it

The
pair’s
goofy-ass
response
to
getting
caught
on
the
jumbotron
garnered
immediate
attention,
ranging
from
baseball
mascots
cashing
in
on
the
publicity:
To
people
pointing
out
that
they
would
have
looked
less
guilty
if
they
did
literally
anything
else:
That
said,
hindsight
is
20/20.
Instead
of
nursing
his
wounds,
the
CEO
may
be
considering
the
Drake
approach
to
publicly
losing
it
all
because
of
a
musician:
suing
their
asses
for
defamation.
AOL
has
coverage:
Former
Astronomer
CEO
Andy
Byron
is
reportedly
considering
filing
a
lawsuit
against
Coldplay
and
event
organizers
after
footage
of
himself
and
former
colleague
Kristin
Cabot
at
the
band’s
Gillette
Stadium
show
went
viral,
sparking
memes
and
massive
controversy.
Experts,
however,
have
maintained
that
the
former
CEO
will
likely
have
a
challenging
time
arguing
the
legitimacy
of
his
potential
legal
claims.
Yeah,
no
shit.
There
are
obvious
legal
reasons
why
this
wouldn’t
be
the
best
move.
First
and
foremost,
there’s
no
real
reasonable
expectation
of
privacy
at
a
damned
Coldplay
concert.
Second,
Chris
Martin
(the
lead
singer
of
Coldplay)
saw
their
bumbling
response
to
getting
caught
on
the
jumbotron
and
opined
that
the
couple
was
either
having
an
affair
or
very
shy.
Given
the
fallout,
it
appears
to
be
the
former
and
truth
is
a
pretty
strong
defense
against
defamation
claims.
Third,
and
this
should
be
the
big
one,
the
case
is
so
facially
weak
that
no
lawyer
in
their
right
mind
would
risk
getting
sanctioned
over
filing
this
crap.
It
would
be
in
his
best
interests
to
lay
low
and
wait
until
everyone
forgets
this
ever
happened.
If
people’s
attention
spans
weren’t
already
scrambled,
the
advent
of
addictive
short
form
video
and
frequent
ChatGPT
use
will
kill
off
whatever
is
left
of
it.
The
more
he
keeps
the
story
in
the
limelight,
the
greater
chance
he
has
of
the
Streisand
effect
kicking
in.
