CEO Busted in Alleged Affair at Coldplay Present, Firm Says Viral ‘Assertion’ Is Faux

New twist within the viral Coldplay live performance scandal — the corporate behind the CEO busted in an alleged affair says a supposed assertion from Andy Byron that is gone viral is completely pretend.

Byron’s firm, Astronomer tells TMZ the assertion floating round on social media — purportedly written by Andy himself to handle the alleged affair — is “not a real statement.”

The assertion was posted late Thursday after the now-infamous video of CEO Andy hugging Astronomer’s HR chief Kristin Cabot throughout Wednesday evening’s Coldplay live performance in Boston. The alleged couple ended up on the large display screen, and each of them instantly tried to cover after they realized they had been on full show.

Frontman Chris Martin even made a comment about them presumably having an affair.

The clip, initially posted by a concertgoer, racked up thousands and thousands of views, and Web sleuths began digging into each exec’s on-line profiles and found they’re each married … to different individuals.

Neither has commented on all of the unconfirmed on-line chatter, which is why the supposed assertion from Andy circulated so shortly. The phony doc even featured a quote from Coldplay’s track, “Fix You.”
