Gwyneth Paltrow Breaks Silence on Coldplay Kiss Cam Drama Involving Astronomer Executives

Gwyneth Paltrow weighs in on last year’s Coldplay Kiss Cam moment that paired former Astronomer HR exec Kristin Cabot with ex-CEO Andy Byron, a scandal that led to resignations and online backlash. After Gwyneth appeared in a tongue-in-cheek Astronomer ad, Oprah Winfrey revealed that Gwyneth said Cabot and Byron had signed off on the ad and that she wouldn’t have done it without that knowledge; Gwyneth reportedly emailed Cabot but did not hear back. Cabot says the controversy was intensified by the ad and made things harder for her and her children, and she has previously criticized Gwyneth over the brand’s messaging.
