The Phillies' mascots recreated the viral Coldplay kiss cam scandal moment involving Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot on July 18 night's game against the Angels. In the middle of the contest, a segment titled, "Coldplay Kiss Cam" appeared on the Citizens Bank Park's outfield video board as the Coldplay song Clocks played. As the camera panned to the Phillie Phanatic and a fellow mascot in a blonde wig, the two could be seen recreating the viral video.
Another video captured fans holding banners reading:
"No one is cheating on their wives here."
A couple at the stadium also kissed to debunk the alleged "cheating" row.
As Fearbuck took to X to post the Phillies' Mascots video, users took to the comment section to react. While some poked fun at the mascots, others called out Astronomer's CEO Andy Byron and the company's HR head, Kristin Cabot, who immediately ducked and covered their faces after being spotted by a kiss cam at a Coldplay concert.
One user commented: "It's never ending for this CEO."
"Omg imagine being that guy, the hr lady or their spouses? I feel bad for all of them" - a user echoed.
"Love how everyone is proudly showing of their partners, especially that guy with the 'this is my wife' postcard. I wonder why people cheat in relationship, it's not healthy at all, damages everyone involved even the kids." - another user wondered.
"Even if the CEO’s wife forgives him…she’s gonna be reminded of it by the internet for MONTHS😂" - another user commented.
"Yo the Coldplay couple is gonna have to leave the country. How can they survive in this climate." - another user mentioned
What happened with Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot at the Coldplay concert?
Tech company Astronomber's CEO Andy Byron and the head of human resources were spotted by the kiss cam at a Coldplay concert on July 16. Byron was holding Kristin from the back, when the camera was panned to them. As soon as the two noticed the kiss cam, they immediately ducked and tried to hide their faces as the audience around them laughed.
Coldplay frontman Chris Martin joked:
"Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy."
After the video went viral, netizens predicted that the two were having an extramarital workplace affair. While Andy Byron is married to Megan Kerrigan, Kristin Cabot is supposedly married to Privateer Rum CEO Andrew Cabot. The viral video also prompted the tech company to launch an internal investigation as per their LinkedIn announcement.
