AI startup Astronomer released a cheeky video featuring actress Gwyneth Paltrow playfully poking fun at the recent cheating scandal involving their former CEO Andy Byron and his secret HR lover Kristin Cabot.
Paltrow – the ex-wife of Coldplay frontman Chris Martin – appeared as a “temporary” spokesperson for the company in a nearly minute-long video, thanking viewers for their interest while sidestepping questions about how the team is handling the “kiss cam” frenzy that lit up social media last week.
“I’ve been hired on a very temporary basis to speak on behalf of the 300 plus employees at Astronomer,” she said in the video on the company’s LinkedIn Friday night.
“Astronomer has gotten a lot of questions over the last few days and they wanted me to answer the most common ones.”
“OMG! What the actual f” then flashed on the scream as the “Shakespeare in Love” star talked about how the AI firm is the “best place to run apache airflow.”
Here is the latest on the CEO caught cheating on a Coldplay concert jumbotron
The affair between Byron and Cabot – who have since resigned from their cushy positions – was put on blast last Wednesday at a Coldplay concert when the Gillette Stadium jumbotron suddenly panned to them — prompting the cuddling pair to frantically duck out of view as they scrambled to hide their faces.
“Oh, what?” frontman Chris Martin said with confusion after catching the buzzworthy blunder.
“Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy.”
The snafu made headlines, inspired thousands of memes, and quickly found itself the butt of many a joke, with famous figures and people across the globe recreating the mortifying moment at sporting events and online.
