Andy Byron Considers Legal Action Against Coldplay
According to reports, Andy Byron is planning to file a lawsuit against Coldplay and the concert organisers. He claims the kiss cam moment caused emotional distress and invaded his privacy. A source close to Byron told Page Six that he did not consent to be filmed and believes the viral moment publicly humiliated him.
Legal experts say a potential claim could be based on defamation. Attorney Camron Dowlatshahi of MSD Lawyers stated that Byron might pursue defamation if he can prove there was no affair. Dowlatshahi added that Chris Martin’s joke about an affair could be the focus of such a case.

However, entertainment columnist Rob Shuter reported that insiders claim Chris Martin laughed at the possibility of being sued.

The incident occurred during Coldplay’s concert in Massachusetts. The kiss cam captured Byron and HR head Kristin Cabot in a moment that sparked speculation and criticism.
