The tech firm home to CEO Andy Byron and his alleged HR mistress – who were caught cozying up on a “kiss cam” at a Coldplay concert – has quickly refuted a fake apology going viral online.

New York-based AI firm Astronomer told The Post that the statement circulating on social media – which claimed to be written by Byron himself with intimate apologies to his wife and children – is “fake.”

The imposter statement took a somber tone but ended with a cheesy nod to Coldplay’s 2005 hit “Fix You”: “As a friend once sang: ‘Lights will guide you home, and ignite your bones, and I will try to fix you.’”

CEO Andy Byron's statement apologizing for a personal mistake that became public.
The faux statement quickly gained traction online.
Neither Byron nor Kristin Cabot, the company’s chief human resources officer, have spoken publicly about the Coldplay scandal – when they were caught in a loving embrace on the concert “kiss cam.”

Byron quite literally ducked out of frame while Cabot covered her face and turned around, putting her back toward the camera.

Chris Martin, the band’s frontman, initially thought the camera had found a sweet moment, saying: “Look at these two.”

But their panicked reaction soon had him speculating on a much less savory situation.

“Oh, what?” Martin can be heard saying on stage in a TikTok video that has racked up more than 50 million views and over 5 million likes.

“Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy,” Martin quipped.

The faux statement posted late Thursday quickly gained traction on social media, with many users tearing into the fake Byron.

“I also want to express how troubling it is that what should have been a private moment became public without my consent,” the forged statement said.

“I respect artists and entertainers, but I hope we can all think more deeply about the impact of turning someone else’s life into a spectacle.”

A social media user on X pointed out fishy behavior from the account that posted the so-called statement.

“The ‘statement from Astronomer CEO Andy Byron’ that’s going around originated with a 50-follower account called ‘Peter Enis.’ As in ‘P. Enis,’” the user wrote.

That account had included “CBS News” in its username, seemingly trying to pose as a reporter for the Tiffany Network.

The company has not posted on its social media accounts since the scandal made headlines on Wednesday.

Astronomer did not respond to inquiries about whether it was planning to issue a statement on the matter.
