HR Exec SLAMS Gwyneth Paltrow For Making Fun Of Coldplay Kiss Cam Scandal: 'What A Hypocrite'
by Perez Hilton · Perez HiltonRemember that viral kiss cam scandal over the summer? Well, it looks like the former HR executive who got caught allegedly cheating has beef with Gwyneth Paltrow!
If you need a recap, Coldplay’s frontman, Chris Martin, accidentally exposed an alleged affair during a concert in Massachusetts back in July. The kiss cam caught then Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and his mistress, HR Chief Kristin Cabot, in an intimate embrace as they enjoyed the music. However, the second they saw themselves on the jumbotron, they dodged out of the frame, which made them look incredibly sus! Chris called it out, saying that “either they’re having an affair or they’re very shy.”
Well, it turned out Andy and Kristin really were up to no good! The pair were both married at the time! Yikes! And after the video of the moment quickly went viral online, it not only hurt their careers but also their marriages. They both resigned from the company. Kristin filed for divorce from her husband — although she insists they were separated prior. Andy’s wife, Megan Kerrigan, dropped “Byron” from her last name on Facebook, hinting that their relationship is over. However, they may or may not have worked things out at this point.
And to rub salt in the wound? Astronomer teamed up with Gwyneth — AKA Chris’s ex-wife! Why? So, she could act as their “temporary spokesperson” and poke fun at the whole ordeal! If you haven’t seen the video, watch (below):
It was a hilarious and smart move to help their reputation during the scandal. But the downside? Gwyneth has a new enemy, and it is Kristin! The HR exec told The Times in a new interview published on Thursday about the controversy that she was appalled by the PR stunt, so much so that she threw everything she owned from the Shakespeare In Love star’s brand Goop away! Calling Gwyneth “a hypocrite,” Kristin said:
“I was such a fan of her company, which seemed to be about uplifting women. And then she did this. I thought, ‘How dare she after the beating she got for all the conscious uncoupling stuff.’ What a hypocrite.”
Damn! Kristin is not happy! Gwyneth has not reacted to her comments, but does anyone think she will say something? The actress reportedly got millions for the gig, so she likely doesn’t care what the ex-exec thinks right now!
