A Coldplay concert. A kiss cam. A tech CEO’s life in freefall.

When Andy Byron, the high-profile CEO of a fast-growing tech startup, appeared on the stadium jumbotron mid-kiss with his HR chief, he didn’t just go viral—he imploded. Overnight, what began as a concert date turned into an internet wildfire, exposing secrets, workplace power plays, and a toxic culture hiding behind VC-backed hype.

The Kiss Cam Coup dives into the scandal that rocked Silicon Valley, tracing how a single stadium moment became a symbol of corporate hypocrisy, digital exposure, and the thin line between personal and public life in the age of nonstop surveillance.

Through sharp storytelling, cultural analysis, and a touch of dark humor, author Melinda Gossip delivers a scandalous and revealing portrait of power, privacy, and the internet’s appetite for downfall.

Because sometimes, the camera doesn’t just catch the kiss—it catches the whole lie.
