In the latest explosive chapter of the Andy Byron scandal, a 10-second clip that was reportedly cut from Coldplay’s official event broadcast has now surfaced online — and the internet is in absolute uproar.
The uncut footage, leaked by an anonymous editor from the post-production team, captures a moment during the backstage meet-and-greet at the Coldplay concert, just seconds before the infamous “kiss cam” scene.
What the public didn’t see — until now — is Andy Byron’s hand slowly reaching toward HR Director Kristin Cabot’s chest and briefly brushing against the top button of her blouse, which she appears to quickly adjust afterward.
“This was no accidental movement,” said a video analyst who reviewed the clip frame by frame. “It’s subtle, calculated — and absolutely inappropriate in a professional setting.”
The clip, which was allegedly removed from the final version at the request of Byron’s corporate media team, is now being shared across social platforms under hashtags like #ByronTouch, #ColdplayCut, and #FireByronNow.
Public reaction has been swift and furious.
“This isn’t just infidelity — it’s power abuse, live and on camera,” tweeted one employment rights advocate.
“The fact this was cut shows they knew how bad it looked,” wrote another.
Kristin Cabot has yet to make a public statement, and sources close to her say she has gone into “temporary seclusion.”
Meanwhile, Coldplay’s production team confirmed in a statement that the clip was “flagged for removal due to sponsor sensitivity,” but emphasized that the final edit was approved directly by Byron’s media office, not the band.
The fallout from the scandal has intensified, with the company’s board of directors reportedly holding an emergency closed-door vote on Byron’s future. Insider sources suggest immediate suspension is now on the table.
This leaked clip may now become the defining visual of one of the year’s most high-profile corporate meltdowns.
