Viral Coldplay concert ‘kiss cam’ incident leads to divorce after corporate fallout
A video of a former tech CEO and his head of HR in an awkward embrace at a US concert went viral, sparking a scandal
Kristin Cabot, the woman seen cuddling with former Astronomer CEO Andy Byron during a Coldplay concert, has now filed for divorce.
Cabot filed the petition in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, on August 13, according to court documents obtained by NBC News.
This comes one month after Cabot, who also worked for Astronomer, stepped down from her role as the company’s head of human resources.
“I can confirm that Kristin Cabot is no longer with Astronomer,” a representative told NBC in July. “She has resigned.”
Just days before, Byron also handed in his resignation as CEO of the AI company.
“Andy Byron has tendered his resignation, and the Board of Directors has accepted,” the company wrote in a statement.
“The Board will begin a search for our next Chief Executive as Cofounder and Chief Product Officer Pete DeJoy continues to serve as interim CEO.”
