Astronomer's HR chief resigns after Coldplay 'kiss cam' scandal: A timeline of what's happened since she was caught with CEO in viral video
The executives have resigned while the band's streams have surged. They were caught canoodling at a Coldplay concert — and now they're out of jobs. Days after Astronomer announced the resignation of its married chief executive, Andy Byron, who was seen in a viral video with the head of human resources, Kristin Cabot, at the band's performance at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Mass., the tech startup confirmed Thursday that Cabot is no longer employed with the company. 'Kristin Cabot is no longer with Astronomer,' a company spokesperson said in a statement. 'She has resigned.' Below is a brief timeline of how we got here, from the viral Coldplay 'kiss cam' moment to the fallout online. July 16: The viral video During Coldplay's concert in Foxboro, lead singer Chris Martin has the camera operator scan the crowd for people to appear on the Jumbotron while he improvises song lyrics — a regular part of the band's recent performances. The camera then turns to the pair, who try to hide themselves when they realize they are being broadcast on the big screen. "Oh, look at these two,' Martin says. 'Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy." A fan-shot video of the intimate moment explodes when it was posted online, with internet sleuths quickly identifying the man and woman in the clip as Byron and Cabot. July 18: The fallout begins Two days after the concert, Astronomer announces that the company's board of directors has launched a 'formal investigation' into the matter, and that Byron has been placed on leave. Pete DeJoy, co-founder and chief product officer, is named interim CEO. 'Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding,' the company says in a statement. 'Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability.' July 19: Byron resigns as CEO Astronomer announces that Byron has resigned from the company, and that DeJoy will continue to serve as interim CEO until a permanent replacement is found. The viral video continues to reverberate around the world, which the company acknowledged in its statement announcing Byron's resignation. 'Before this week, we were known as a pioneer in the DataOps space, helping data teams power everything from modern analytics to production AI,' the company says. 'While awareness of our company may have changed overnight, our product and our work for our customers have not.' That night, during Coldplay's first show since the infamous kiss-cam incident, Martin jokingly issues a warning to the crowd. 'We'd like to say hello to some of you in the crowd,' he says, laughing. 'How we're gonna do that is we're gonna 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.' July 20: Interim CEO addresses the controversy In a lengthy statement posted to his LinkedIn page, DeJoy says the New York-based company, which was founded in 2017, is embracing its newfound fame. '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 writes. '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.' 'We're here because the mission is bigger than any one moment,' he adds. 'And our story is very much still being written.' July 24: Astromer confirms Cabot's resignation The company issues a brief statement to multiple media outlets confirming her ouster. Meanwhile, Coldplay is seeing a surge in interest on streaming platforms. According to Billboard data cited by the Hollywood Reporter, on-demand audio streams for Coldplay are up 25% since the Gillette Stadium show. 'In the preceding five days before the Boston concert, Coldplay had 28.7 million streams,' the magazine says. In the five days since, they had 35.7 million. Solve the daily Crossword

As soon as they realised they were on the giant screen, the two seemingly hid their faces. This led the band's frontman, Chris Martin, to speculate that 'Either they're having an affair, or they're just very shy.' The incident accidentally revealed the alleged affair between Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot to the world. Byron is the former CEO of Astronomer, who tendered his resignation last week following the company's announcement about placing him on leave and investigating him after the video went viral. As reported by the BBC, Cabot, the HR chief of Astronomer, has also resigned as people officer of the company.

HR exec caught on Coldplay cam resigns after embrace with CEO went viral
The executive who was caught on camera embracing the CEO of her company at a Coldplay concert in a moment that went viral has resigned. The company, Astronomer, confirmed that its executive in charge of human resources has left. 'Kristin Cabot is no longer with Astronomer, she has resigned,' spokesman Taylor Jones said in a brief statement. Her departure follows the resignation of CEO Andy Byron, who quit after the company said he was being put on leave pending an investigation. The episode resulted in endless memes, parody videos and screenshots of the pair's shocked faces filling social media feeds Cabot and Byron were caught by surprise when singer Chris Martin asked the cameras to scan the crowd for his 'Jumbotron Song' during the concert last week at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts. They were shown cuddling and smiling, but when they saw themselves on the big screen, Cabot's jaw dropped, her hands flew to her face and she spun away from the camera while Byron ducked out of the frame. 'Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy,' Martin joked in video that spread quickly around the internet. When the video first spread online it wasn't immediately clear who they were, but online sleuths rapidly figured out their identities. The company has previously confirmed the identities of the couple in a statement to the AP. Both of their profiles have been now removed from Astronomer's website and a November press release announcing her hiring has also been deleted. Astronomer was a previously obscure tech company based in New York. It provides big companies with a platform that helps them organize their data. Online streams of Coldplay's songs jumped 20% in the days after the video went viral, according to Luminate, an industry data and analytics company. Error!
