The 'Kiss Cam' incident at a Coldplay concert has led to the resignation of Astronomer CEO Andy Byron, but Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot remains on leave, prompting questions about the disparity in their consequences.

Astronomer CEO Andy Byron resigned after a viral kiss cam video showed him and HR head Kristin Cabot cuddling at a Coldplay concert, sparking public backlash. While Cabot remains employed, legal experts say contractual obligations and internal investigations likely explain the delay in any action against her.

No, Andy Byron is no longer the CEO of Astronomer. He resigned shortly after a video of him and Kristin Cabot went viral during a Coldplay concert. Coldplay fans are often referred to as “Coldplayers.” It’s a simple but affectionate nickname used across fan forums and social media.
