Astronomer HR Exec Resigns After Viral Video

The Coldplay camera drama has led to another resignation. Astronomer confirmed Friday that the HR executive who was captured embracing the company’s CEO (who quit last week) has also resigned.

“Kristin Cabot is no longer with Astronomer, she has resigned,” spokesman Taylor Jones confirmed to the Associated Press.

Cabot’s resignation comes less than a week after Andy Byron, the company’s CEO, resigned from his post after being caught embracing Cabot on the jumbotron at Gillette Stadium. The organization released a lengthier statement following his departure.

“As stated previously, 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,” the company said over the weekend.

“Andy Byron has tendered his resignation, and the Board of Directors has accepted,” the company continued. “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.”

Both Byron and Cabot were put on leave as the incident was investigated, with Astronomer issuing a statement writing that it was “committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding.”

The Byron-Cabot situation happened as Chris Martin sang his “The Jumbotron Song,” where he makes up a track on the spot about the people captured in the crowd during the show.“Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy,” Martin joked onstage after the pair ducked and hid after being shown on camera.

The Coldplay camera video has been joked about by other artists, including Liam Gallagher who said cheaters would be safe at Oasis’ shows. Do we have any lovebirds in the house? Don’t worry, we don’t got any of that Coldplay snidey fucking camera shit,” he joked.

At the first Coldplay show since the infidelity incident, Martin reminded the audience that being in the crowd meant they could be filmed. “We’d like to say hello to some of you in the crowd,” Martin told the audience at Camp Randall Stadium in Wisconsin. “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.”
