Coldplay Kiss Cam Controversy: Expert Rules Out Any Legal Claim From Former CEO

Coldplay’s Kiss Cam Controversy: Legal Experts Say Lawsuit Is “Dead on Arrival”

After Coldplay’s July 16 concert, a Kiss Cam moment went viral, capturing Astronomer CEO Andy Byron with his arms around HR chief Kristin Cabot.

The footage, accompanied by Chris Martin’s playful lyrics, sparked online rumors of an affair. Both Byron and Cabot have since resigned.

Despite rumors that Byron might sue Coldplay, legal experts told Fox News Digital that any lawsuit would be baseless.

“He had no reasonable expectation of privacy at a public event,” said employment attorney Ron Zambrano.

Ticket purchases typically include waivers, and public venues often involve video recording.

Trial attorney John W. Day agreed, noting that a defamation claim would also fail. “Martin would have to know for certain there was no affair

— and he clearly joked in the moment.” The event, while embarrassing, doesn’t meet legal thresholds for privacy violation or defamation.
