Gwyneth Paltrow recently featured on Astronomer’s social media, stepping into the role of ‘spokesperson’ to address questions following the company’s ‘affair’ controversy.

Astronomer’s CEO, Andy Byron, was spotted getting cozy with HR Head Kristin Cabot at a Coldplay concert on July 16, sparking a social media storm due to their awkward reaction when shown on the big screen.

Chris Martin—Paltrow’s ex-husband and father of her two children—criticized the pair at the event, suggesting they were ‘having an affair’ due to their uneasy behavior.

Both Byron and Cabot quit their jobs at the tech company as a result of the scandal.  

Now, Paltrow has made a cameo on Astronomer’s LinkedIn page in a hilarious PR-crisis move by the company – naming her as a ‘temporary spokesperson.’ 

The actress, wearing a blue shirt with corporate music playing in the background, said: ‘Thank you for your interest in Astronomer. Hi, I’m Gwyneth Paltrow. 

‘I’ve been hired on a very temporary basis to speak on behalf of the 300 plus employees at Astronomer.

‘Astronomer has got a lot of questions in the last few days, and they wanted me to answer the most common ones.’ 

As thee corporate music continued playing softly in the background, the cameo shifted to an on-screen question – supposedly highlighting one of the ‘most common’ inquiries the company has received in the wake of the scandal.

‘Q: OMG! What the actual f—’ the text begins, abruptly cutting off just as Gwyneth Paltrow reappears on screen.

The Iron Man actress continues saying: ‘Yes! Astronomer is the best place to run Apache Airflow.’

Astronomer’s HR chief Kristin Cabot was seen for the first time since the kiss cam scandal that led to her resignation on Thursday.

The software company confirmed the married 52-year-old stepped down from her role, just over a week after she was caught with the company’s CEO at Boston’s Gillette Stadium.

‘Kristin Cabot is no longer with Astronomer – she’s resigned,’ a rep told TMZ.

But the fallen HR head appeared more focused on the health of her plants than her marriage when she was spotted for the first time back at her $2.2million home on Wednesday.

Exclusive Daily Mail photos show the now ex-Head of People alone and looking glum as she watered her flowers and shrubs on the lawn of her two-story, four-bedroom property in Rye, New Hampshire.

She was pictured without her wedding ring, which she had been previously seen wearing in social media photos, but was notably absent during her now infamous concert appearance.

The status of her marriage remains unknown, however, with her husband, Privateer Rum CEO Andrew Cabot, 60, an heir to the $15.4billion Cabot family fortune, nowhere to be seen at their home.

The billionaire businessman was reportedly on a work trip in Asia when the scandal erupted and returned on Saturday to find his family embroiled in the controversy. 

Kristin’s now-deleted LinkedIn account showed that she has served as an ‘advisory board member’ at Privateer Rum since September 2020. 

Astronomer’s replacement for Byron, interim CEO Pete DeJoy, surprised many as he gushed over the viral infamy in his first statement since entering the hotseat this week.

He appeared to suggest he was thrilled by the Coldplay incident, and celebrated the fact Astronomer is now a household name thanks to the saga.

He wrote: ‘The spotlight has been unusual and surreal for our team and, while I would never have wished for it to happen like this, Astronomer is now a household name.

‘I’m stepping into this role with a wholehearted commitment to taking care of our people and delivering for our customers. Astronomer’s foundation remains strong, built around the thriving Apache Airflow community.’

He added that the company ‘won’t let you down.’
