Astronomer chief Andy Byron faces probe by company after video with alleged mistress at Coldplay concert goes viral
An American chief executive who was busted with his alleged mistress appearing all-loved up at a Coldplay concert is being investigated by his company. Astronomer chief Andy Byron had his arms wrapped around the chest of fellow colleague Kristin Cabot at the British band's tour in Boston, Massachusetts, this week. They quickly separated, with Mr Byron seen ducking away while Ms Cabot covered her face with her hands when they were shown on the big screens of the stadium. Coldplay singer Chris Martin joked to the crowd that the couple were "either having an affair or just very shy" as thousands of other concert-goers laughed and cheered. The company said on LinkedIn that Mr Byron is under formal investigation over his alleged cheating scandal involving Astronomer's chief human resources officer. "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," it said. "The Board of Directors has initiated a formal investigation into this matter and we will have additional details to share very shortly." It stressed no other colleagues were seen in the video and that Mr Byron has not released any formal statement, saying reports the chief executive had are "incorrect". The alleged tryst was filmed by Coldplay fan Grace Springer and shared to TikTok where it has been seen close to 70 million times, with many news stories already written. Mr Byron's identity was quickly outed in the comments section. Ms Springer told The Sun her intention was to not expose anyone and only posted the shocking moment online because she captured an "interesting reaction". 'A part of me feels bad for turning these people's lives upside down, but, play stupid games… win stupid prizes," she said, in a swipe at the couple. 'I hope their partners can heal from this and get a second chance at the happiness they deserve with their future still in front of them.' A former employee of Astronomer has also since come out to The New York Post, accusing Mr Byron of being a "toxic" boss who was aggressive and obsessed with sales. 'The text groups and chains of former employees are like… everybody's laughing their ass off and enjoying the hell out of what happened and him getting exposed,' they said. According to reports, Mr Byron is still married while Ms Cabot divorced in 2022. Mr Byron joined Astronomer as the CEO in mid July of 2023, according to his LinkedIn page, which has been taken down since his name made global headlines. Astronomer is a company that "empowers data teams to bring mission-critical software, analytics and AI (artificial intelligence) to life," its website states.

Detained Venezuelans to be swapped for Americans
El Salvador's government will send detained Venezuelans home in exchange for Americans held in Venezuela, two US government officials said, as Venezuela announced the return of seven migrant children who had been separated from their families. One of the officials said El Salvador would send 238 Venezuelans held in its maximum security CECOT prison to Caracas and that the Venezuelan government would release five US citizens and five US permanent residents to American custody. The second official confirmed on Friday that the exchange was taking place and said the figures appeared to be close to what was expected. Some family members of migrants held at CECOT said they received calls from the Venezuelan government to come to Caracas. Venezuela's Communications Ministry and El Salvador's presidency did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the possible exchange. Venezuelan Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello and First Lady Cilia Flores said seven migrant children who had been separated from their families and kept in US care had been sent home on a deportation flight that brought more than 200 migrants from Texas to Maiquetia airport near Caracas. Cabello said the children had been "rescued" and cheered their return, after saying earlier there were 32 migrant children in the US who had been separated from their families. There would be "more movement" later in the afternoon and other arrivals, Cabello added, without providing more details. The US State Department declined to comment. The White House and the US Department of Homeland Security did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The Venezuelans were sent to El Salvador in March after President Donald Trump invoked the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to swiftly deport alleged members of the Tren de Aragua gang without going through normal immigration procedures. Family members of many of the Venezuelans and their lawyers deny they had gang ties, and say they were not given a chance to contest the Trump administration's allegations in court. Venezuela's government has always decried the CECOT detention of its citizens as a violation of human rights and international law. But the government's critics say the country holds activists and opposition figures in similar conditions in Venezuela. The return of Americans held in Venezuela is a priority, Richard Grenell, a Trump envoy, has said. Grenell visited Caracas in January, returning with six Americans who had been held in Venezuela, and in May flew back to the US from the Caribbean island of Antigua with Joseph St. Clair, who had also been detained in Venezuela.
