Astronomer rips ‘fake’ Andy Byron statement after CEO’s Coldplay kiss cam scandal

Andy Byron’s statement regarding his kiss cam scandal has been circulating at the speed of sound — but it’s fake.

The Astronomer CEO’s company insisted to TMZ on Thursday that the declaration is “not … real.”

The viral statement in question began with an acknowledgment of the “disappointment” caused by the video of Byron, who is married, cuddled up to his employee Kristin Cabot at Coldplay’s concert on Wednesday.

At the time, frontman Chris Martin joked to concert attendees that the couple’s panicked attempts to hide meant they were either “shy” or “having an affair.”

Byron and Cabot’s identities made headlines Thursday.

The former’s supposed statement noted that “what was supposed to be a night of music and joy turned into a deeply personal mistake playing out on a very public stage.”

This was followed by a “sincere” apology to Bryon’s wife, Megan Kerrigan, his family and his colleagues.

“You deserve better from me as a partner, as a father and as a leader,” the fake announcement continued. “This is not who I want to be or how I want to represent the company I helped build.”

After requesting “privacy” and “time to reflect,” the statement seemingly called out Martin, 48, and the concertgoer Grace Springer, who posted the footage.

“What should have been a private moment became public without my consent,” the faux statement read. “I respect artists and entertainers, but I hope we can all think more deeply about the impact of turning somebody else’s life into a spectacle.”

The viral upload concluded with lyrics from Coldplay’s 2005 hit “Fix You.”

It read, “As a friend once sang, ‘Lights will guide you home and ignite your bones, and I will try to fix you.”

Astronomer did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.

In another fake statement, Byron seemingly apologized for his “inexcusable” love of the band’s music.

Cabot, Byron and Kerrigan, who made headlines for deleting her Facebook account, have yet to address the scandal.

Martin joked on Wednesday that he hoped he “didn’t do something bad.”

Later in the Gillette Stadium show, he grilled another duo on the kiss cam about whether they were a “legitimate couple.”

When Coldplay rounded up moments from Wednesday’s performance via Instagram Thursday, the viral exposure was not featured.

“Looks like a grand affair,” one fan joked in the comments section, while another asked, “Nice, did anything else happen?”
