Astronomer has recently released a promotional video featuring Gwyneth Paltrow as their “Temporary Spokesperson,” following the high-profile Coldplay kiss cam scandal involving the company’s former executives. The video, shared on Astronomer’s official X page on July 25, uses humor and candidness to address public curiosity.

Paltrow, known for her acclaimed acting career and as the ex-wife of Coldplay’s lead singer Chris Martin, steps in to answer the most frequently asked questions surrounding the scandal. In her opening remarks, she says, “Hi, I’m Gwyneth Paltrow. I’ve been hired on a very temporary basis to speak on behalf of the 300+ employees at Astronomer.” She emphasizes the company’s focus on their core business rather than the recent controversy.

The scandal arose when CEO Andy Byron and Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot were caught on the kiss cam at a Coldplay concert at Gillette Stadium, Massachusetts, embracing despite reports of being married to others. This incident led both to resign from their positions shortly after the event became viral.

Despite the controversy, Paltrow redirects attention to Astronomer’s work, stating, “Astronomer is the best place to run a patchy airflow, unifying the experience of running data ML and AI pipelines at scale. We’ve been thrilled so many people have a newfound interest in data workflow automation.”

The video lightly touches on social media concerns but quickly shifts back to promoting the company’s upcoming Beyond Analytics Event in September. Paltrow ends with gratitude: “Thank you for your interest in Astronomer.”

The Astronomer CEO scandal made headlines worldwide, but the company aims to move forward and focus on innovation in data automation and machine learning services. Gwyneth Paltrow’s involvement adds a notable public relations boost during this challenging period.
