AI startup Astronomer released a cheeky video featuring actress Gwyneth Paltrow playfully poking fun at the recent cheating scandal involving their former CEO Andy Byron and his secret HR lover Kristin Cabot.
Paltrow – the ex-wife of Coldplay frontman Chris Martin – appeared as a “temporary” spokesperson for the company in a nearly minute-long video, thanking viewers for their interest while sidestepping questions about how the team is handling the “kiss cam” frenzy that lit up social media last week.
“I’ve been hired on a very temporary basis to speak on behalf of the 300 plus employees at Astronomer,” she said in the video on the company’s LinkedIn Friday night.
“Astronomer has gotten a lot of questions over the last few days and they wanted me to answer the most common ones.”
“OMG! What the actual f” then flashed on the scream as the “Shakespeare in Love” star talked about how the AI firm is the “best place to run apache airflow.”

The snafu made headlines, inspired thousands of memes, and quickly found itself the butt of many a joke, with famous figures and people across the globe recreating the mortifying moment at sporting events and online.
