Legal experts have stated that any potential lawsuit against Coldplay’s Chris Martin over the recent Kiss Cam incident would likely not hold up in court.
Astronomer CEO Andy Byron stepped down from his position after being captured on the jumbotron at a Coldplay concert with his company’s HR director, Kristin Cabot. While rumors suggest Byron may sue Coldplay, legal professionals have indicated that he has no solid legal standing to do so.
“Andy Byron’s lawsuit would likely be dismissed since he had no expectation of privacy at a public event like that,” explained employment attorney Ron Zambrano.
During Coldplay’s concert on July 16, Byron and Cabot were caught on the Kiss Cam, sparking online speculation. The incident led to both individuals resigning from their positions at Astronomer.
Coldplay’s frontman, Chris Martin, jokingly commented on the moment during the concert, adding to the viral nature of the situation.
Legal experts have also indicated that Byron’s potential claims of invasion of privacy and defamation would likely not succeed due to the public nature of the event and the lack of evidence.
Martin later addressed the incident during a subsequent performance, humorously warning the audience about the jumbotron. His ex-wife, Gwyneth Paltrow, also joined in on the fun by becoming a “temporary spokesperson” for Astronomer in a video ad.
The ad, posted on Astronomer’s social media, featured Paltrow answering common questions about the company in a light-hearted manner.
