"He's Not My CEO" Poster At Coldpay Concert Viral After 'Kiss Cam Scandal'
At Coldplay's first concert since the now-infamous Jumbotron scandal in Boston, fans brought the jokes. Spotted among a sea of placards at the sold-out Madison show was one that immediately drew attention. "He's not my CEO," read the handmade sign, with an arrow pointing to a man standing next to the woman holding it. Hace un momento se pudo apreciar este cartel en concierto de Coldplay en Madison. "He's not my ceo" "Él no es mi director ejecutivo" ???? #ColdplayMadison #Coldplay — Coldplay World (@world_coldplay) July 20, 2025 The sign alluded to former Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and the company's head of HR, Kristin Cabot, who were unexpectedly spotlighted on the big screen at Gillette Stadium. Caught mid-song, frontman Chris Martin didn't hesitate to acknowledge the couple, "Whoa, look at these two," he sang. " Either they are having an affair or they're just very shy." Both executives, married to other people, attempted to shield their faces from the cameras but it was too late. The clip exploded online and ultimately led to Andy Byron's resignation from the tech firm on Saturday. Astronomer released a statement, "Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding. Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met." They added, "Andy Byron has tendered his resignation, and the Board of Directors has accepted. 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."

How we're going to do that is we're going to use our cameras and put some of you on the big screen... So, please, if you haven't done your makeup, do your makeup now." The band hasn't issued an official statement about the incident.

'As guilty as the CEO': Astronomer's silence on HR chief Kristin Cabot, seen with Andy Byron in viral video, questioned
Astronomer did not mention Kristin Cabot in any of its statements. While Astronomer, the US company that came to the limelight because of Coldplay controversy, announced that Andy Byron resigned from the CEO post and is now hunting for a new CEO to take over, its silence over HR head Kristin Cabot is being questioned. The company has not issued any statement on Cabot, who was seen with Andy Byron at the Coldplay concert in Boston that led to a social media storm. Cabot was placed on leave as was Andy Byron when the company started an investigation into the viral scandal, it was reported, but none of the company's statements mentioned Cabot. And no new name was announced as the acting HR head. Calling Cabot the 'CEO predator', social media users said Cabot is as guilty as the CEO and should resign from her post. Kristin Cabot, Kenneth C Thornby, Andrew Cabot The marital status of the HR head remains ambiguous, as she was once married to Kenneth C Thornby and then to Andrew Cabot. Andrew Cabot is the sixth-generation owner of a rum brand, Privateer Rum, and the Cabot fortune is estimated at $15.4 billion. It's not known when Kristin and Andrew got married, as her divorce from Thornby was finalized in 2022. Before Astronomer, Kristin served as an advisory board member at the Cabot rum company when she was not married to Cabot. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Pierce Brosnan's Wife Lost 120 Pounds - This Is Her Now Undo The Cabot family is known to be one of the original 'Boston Brahmin' clans that controlled New England for centuries.

Astronomer cheater HR Kristin Cabot is linked to the elite Boston Brahmin family, her relation with them is...
Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and HR head Kristin Cabot found themselves embroiled in controversy when they were caught in a cozy moment during the Coldplay concert. As the camera zoomed in on them, the two hid their faces, and the moment went viral on the internet. For the unversed, Andy and Kristin are separately married. Now, another twist in the matter has emerged as Kristin is related to a Boston Brahmin family. The revelation has shocked the internet. Who exactly are the Boston Brahmin family, and how are they related to 'Coldplay cheater' HR Kristin Cabot? For the unversed, Kristin Cabot was married into one of the wealthiest and most influential families in New England. Andrew Cabot is a sixth-generation heir to the Privateer Rum fortune and a direct descendant of the original Andrew Cabot, tying her to the prestigious lineage of the historic 'Boston Brahmin' families, whose legacy and influence span over two centuries. As per property records, the couple bought a $2.2 million home on the New Hampshire coast earlier this year. Kristin's now-deleted LinkedIn profile also listed her as an advisory board member at Privateer Rum since September 2020. Andrew Cabot's lineage connects him to an exclusive circle of old-money Anglo-American elites who have long held sway over New England's social and economic landscape. According to a New York Times profile, the Cabot family was one of the wealthiest families, with a fortune of 200 million US dollars in 1972, which can now be estimated to be approximately 15.4 billion US dollars. The Cabot family is among the original 'Boston Brahmin' clans, a lineage that has wielded influence over New England for centuries.
