Kristin Cabot has resigned from her position as Chief People Officer at the tech firm Astronomer a week after she was seen in viral videos reacting with shock and shame after being caught engaging in a warm embrace with the company’s CEO Andy Byron on the Kiss Cam at a Coldplay concert at Gillette Stadium near Boston July 16, reported TMZ and Page Six on Thursday.
Page Six quoted an Astronomer spokesperson, “I can confirm that Kristin Cabot is no longer with Astronomer, she has resigned,”
Byron resigned over the weekend after the company announced it was launching an investigation and placed him and Cabot on leave.
Byron’s wife reportedly dropped her married name from her Facebook page the morning after the concert when the Kiss Cam videos went viral, before deleting her account.
Cabot’s husband was reportedly on a lengthy business trip in Asia when the incident occurred.
Coldplay singer Chris Martin was commenting as the camera panned the concert crowd when the couple was seen snuggling but then got stunned looks on their faces when they saw themselves on the stadium video. Each of the couple reacted as if they were caught, with Cabot turning around with her face buried in her hands and Byron quickly ducking out of view. Cabot then was seen walking away.
Martin observed as the impromptu melodrama played out on screen, “Oh, look at these two. Alright, come on, you’re okay. Oh, what? Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy.”

The New York Post reported earlier Thursday on Kristin Cabot’s husband learning about the Kiss Cam incident (excerpt):
Privateer Rum CEO Andrew Cabot was on an overseas business trip when his wife, Kristin Cabot, was caught canoodling at a Coldplay concert — and the couple’s relatives were likewise blindsided by the scandal, a source close to the situation told The Post.
The tipster said Andrew Cabot, founder of the Massachusetts-based, high-end liquor maker, had been on a work-related trip to Japan and returned to find himself and his family in the middle of a social media firestorm.
[Andrew] was in Asia for a few weeks and returned on Saturday, so he was gone while all this went down,” said the source, who requested anonymity to discuss the situation. “Poor guy.”
…Kristin and Andrew Cabot married sometime after her previous divorce was finalized in 2022. The source said there had been little indication of any trouble in paradise before the Coldplay concert video went viral.
A report by reporter and gossip columnist Rob Shuter says Andy Byron is considering suing Coldplay (excerpt):
The clip blew up online — and blew up Byron’s life. He resigned within 48 hours, and Cabot was placed on leave. Now, insiders tell #ShuterScoop that Byron is exploring legal action against the band and event organizers, citing “emotional distress” and “invasion of privacy.”
“He didn’t consent to being filmed or publicly humiliated,” a source close to Byron insists. “He thinks Coldplay made him a meme.”
