'As guilty as the CEO': Astronomer's silence on HR chief Kristin Cabot, seen with Andy Byron in viral video, questioned
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.

The Cabot family is known to be one of the original 'Boston Brahmin' clans that controlled New England for centuries. The family is so well known in Boston, it's said locally that the 'Cabots speak only to God", New York Post reported.
'And this is good old Boston/ The home of the bean and the cod/ Where the Lowells talk only to Cabots/ And the Cabots talk only to God" -- this is reportedly the local saying.
Thornby and Kristin filed for divorce in 2018 and they share at least one child. Thornby was mandated to pay for child support, according to Massachusetts court records.

'Messi! Messi!' — Fans erupt as Lionel Messi attends Coldplay concert with wife
Lionel Messi with wife at the Coldplay concert. (Video grab) Lionel Messi may have been sidelined from Inter Miami's recent clash with FC Cincinnati due to suspension, but the Argentine icon made headlines nonetheless — not on the pitch, but at a Coldplay concert. Messi and his wife Antonela Roccuzzo were spotted enjoying Coldplay 's final U.S. show on their Music of the Spheres World Tour at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami on Sunday night. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! As soon as the eight-time Ballon d'Or winner appeared on the venue's video board, the crowd erupted into thunderous chants of 'Messi! Messi! Messi!', briefly transforming the stadium atmosphere into something more fitting for a World Cup final than a concert. WATCH: The moment quickly went viral on social media, with fans capturing footage of the footballing legend smiling and soaking up the admiration. It wasn't Messi's first Coldplay experience either — the 38-year-old is a known fan and had previously attended one of their concerts in May 2023 while in Barcelona. The timing of the outing worked perfectly for Messi, who had an unexpected weekend off due to his suspension for missing the MLS All-Star Game. Inter Miami's CEO had earlier commented on Messi's disappointment at being forced to sit out, suggesting it could influence how the superstar is perceived by fans and league officials. Still, the Miami crowd's electric response was a reminder that Messi's popularity transcends sport. For a few moments, Hard Rock Stadium wasn't just the site of a concert — it became a global celebration of the greatest footballer of his generation blending seamlessly into American pop culture.
