The aftershocks of the now-infamous Coldplay concert embrace continue to shake the corporate world, as Astronomer CEO Andy Byron has been suspended following the viral video of his intimate moment with the company’s HR Chief, Kristin Cabot.
The scandal erupted when Byron and Cabot were caught smooching on Coldplay’s kiss cam during a packed stadium show — a clip that quickly spread across social media, drawing both amusement and outrage. A newly surfaced video shows the pair getting cozy long before the kiss cam exposure, confirming it wasn’t just a fleeting moment but a prolonged display of affection.

Adding fuel to the fire, Byron’s wife allegedly deleted her Facebook account after the video gained traction online, with widespread speculation about the state of their marriage.
The incident has not only gone viral but has sparked heated debates about workplace relationships, ethics, and leadership accountability, especially since Cabot holds the HR leadership position responsible for setting workplace conduct standards.
As of now, Astronomer Inc. has issued no formal statement, but sources suggest an internal investigation is underway, with both Byron’s and Cabot’s futures at the company in question.
