According to sources, he claims the viral clip has caused him “emotional distress,” and he’s now seriously weighing legal action against Coldplay and the event organizers for allegedly failing to protect his privacy during the publicized moment.
In the video making the rounds online, Byron was seen on the stadium kiss cam cozying up with Kristin Cabot, the head of HR at Astronomer, during the show. What appeared to be an innocent crowd-pleaser has now spiraled into a full-blown controversy with potential legal and personal fallout.
Byron, who stepped down from his executive role not long ago, is said to be furious over what he describes as an invasion of privacy. According to sources, he claims the viral clip has caused him “emotional distress,” and he’s now seriously weighing legal action against Coldplay and the event organizers for allegedly failing to protect his privacy during the publicized moment.
Though a formal lawsuit has yet to be filed, the threat of legal proceedings has gone viral with many questioning whether a kiss cam moment at a public concert constitutes grounds for such action.
To add fuel to the fire, Byron’s wife, Megan Kerrigan Byron, has filed for divorce in the wake of the viral incident. Reports indicate that the divorce is already underway, with Megan seeking a whopping $200 million settlement.
The double blow of potential legal drama and a high-stakes divorce has turned what started as a fun concert moment into a headline-grabbing scandal and it doesn’t look like the dust will be settling anytime soon.
