Amanda Keller Defends Coldplay Kiss Cam: 'How Would You Feel?'

Amanda Keller has spoken of her discomfort over the public reaction to the now-infamous’ Coldplay concert kiss cam’ moment.

The radio host said on the Jonesy & Amanda show this week that she has empathy for Astronomer CEO Andy Byron, who was caught cuddling the company’s HR chief Kristin Cabot at a Coldplay gig last week.

‘How would you feel if you were constantly defined by the worst mistake you’d ever made?’ the 63-year-old said.

‘And these people up on this big screen have families. What a huge mistake they’ve made.’

Keller slammed the social media response as ‘hyenas picking at the bones’.

‘I am starting to feel uncomfortable with my own reaction,’ she continued, adding that her own response made her feel ‘bad’.

‘Imagine if you had a humiliating moment – it doesn’t have to be an affair- and it suddenly becomes viral and you lose everything’.

Keller said that there were different ways of looking at the controversial moment, other than the mockery that has erupted online.

‘It’s interesting because there’s a couple of ways of looking at this. It’s united the whole world in the glee that we’ve all felt at this situation’ she added.

It comes after news that Andy Byron has resigned in disgrace amid an investigation into the scandal.

Byron, 50, who was spotted on camera at the concert with his arms wrapped around Cabot, stepped down after being placed on leave on Friday.

The billion-dollar company announced the CEO’s resignation in a statement on Saturday.

‘As stated previously, Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding,’ the statement read.

‘Imagine if you had a humiliating moment – it doesn’t have to be an affair- and it suddenly becomes viral and you lose everything,’ Keller said

‘Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met.

‘Andy Byron has tendered his resignation, and the Board of Directors has accepted.’

Byron and Cabot were caught red-faced as the kiss cam at a Coldplay concert in Boston panned to the CEO with his arms wrapped around his subordinate on Tuesday.

The pair immediately ducked and turned from the cameras after realising their faces were on the big screen.
