HR head Kristin Cabot resigns from Astronomer after Coldplay kiss cam scandal at Gillette Stadium

Talk about a costly concert.

HR head Kristin Cabot — who was spotted on the kiss cam at last week’s viral Coldplay concert at Gillette Stadium — has resigned from Astronomer, the company has confirmed.

Her resignation comes after CEO Andy Byron, who had his arms around Cabot at the concert before infamously ducking down when the spotlight was on them, left the tech company in the days after the explosive incident.

“I can confirm that Kristin Cabot is no longer with Astronomer,” a company spokesperson wrote in an email on Friday. “She has resigned.”

Astronomer’s board launched an investigation after the CEO and HR head were caught on the kiss cam — a moment that became the biggest internet story in the world last week.

The Gillette Stadium Coldplay concert went mega viral when video circulated of lead singer Chris Martin blowing up an alleged “affair.”

When the kiss cam went up on the big screen in Foxboro, Byron was spotted with his arms around Cabot.

“Oh, look at these two,” Martin said of the cozy couple.

Cabot immediately puts her hands over her eyes in apparent shame and turns away, while Byron quickly drops down to get out of the camera’s view.

The crowd starts breaking out in laughter.

“Either they’re having an affair or he’s very shy,” Martin said.

The viral moment has become a meme recreated over and over across the internet, and has been spoofed at sporting events in the last week — including the Phillies’ mascots making fun of the incident.

Astronomer, founded in 2018, is a software development company based in New York City.

After Byron resigned last weekend, co-founder Pete DeJoy stepped into the role of interim CEO.

“The events of the past few days have received a level of media attention that few companies—let alone startups in our small corner of the data and AI world—ever encounter,” DeJoy wrote earlier this week.

“The spotlight has been unusual and surreal for our team and, while I would never have wished for it to happen like this, Astronomer is now a household name,” he wrote, later adding, “To our team: thank you for your resilience & commitment to building something great. And to our community and customers: thank you for your trust. We won’t let you down.”
