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\u2019s apparently thinking about filing suit against Coldplay. For those of you who aren\u2019t 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\u2019d run to the head of HR about, you\u2019d be right. The run would also be pretty short considering that he was cozied up with Astronomer\u2019s former head of HR, Kristen Cabot. If you\u2019d like to join one of the ~128 million or so people who saw the infidelity outing, you can watch it below:<\/p>\n

So dude\u2019s now lost his career, reputation, and probably his wife plus half his net worth all because he wanted to canoodle a coworker.<\/p>\n

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<\/a> has coverage:<\/p>\n

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\u2019s Gillette Stadium show went viral, sparking memes and massive controversy.<\/p>\n

Experts, however, have maintained that the former CEO will likely have a challenging time arguing the legitimacy of his potential legal claims.<\/p>\n

Yeah, no shit. <\/p>\n

There are obvious legal reasons why this wouldn\u2019t be the best move. First and foremost, there\u2019s 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<\/em> 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.<\/p>\n

It would be in his best interests to lay low and wait until everyone forgets this ever happened. If people\u2019s attention spans weren\u2019t 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. <\/p>\n
