ASTRONOMER’S HR supremo Kristin Cabot has resigned from her position at the tech firm following the Coldplay kiss-cam scandal.
Ms. Cabot and her ex-supervisor Andy Byron were unexpectedly thrust into the limelight when their smiling images appeared on a massive screen in front of an audience of 55,000 at Boston’s Gillette Stadium.
A staffer for Astronomer told TMZ: “Kristin Cabot is no longer with Astronomer, she’s resigned.”
It comes just days after Mr Byron resigned from his role after “failing to meet company standards”.
A statement from the company read: “As we’ve mentioned before, Astronomer remains devoted to the values and culture that have guided us since our inception. Our leadership is expected to uphold exemplary conduct and accountability, a standard which was recently not reached.”
“Andy Byron has submitted his resignation, which the Board of Directors has accepted. The Board will initiate a search for our new Chief Executive while Cofounder and Chief Product Officer Pete DeJoy continues his role as interim CEO.”
Mr Byron and Ms Cabot – who both have families of their own – were seen rushing for cover after being left red-faced in the packed stadium.
They were caught canoodling in front of thousands of fans who came over to attend the Coldplay concert.
And their reaction to being filmed caught the world’s attention – with millions now talking about the alleged affair.
Mr Byron and Ms Cabot’s expressions appeared to show guilt and have since gone viral online with speculation that the HR chief is the tech boss’ “mistress”.
A chorus of laughter echoed around the jam-packed stadium when Viva la Vida singer Chris Martin – without knowing who they were – quipped: “Oh what… either they’re having an affair or they’re very shy.”
They have both dropped off the radar after their cosy embrace went viral, sparking a riot of memes online.
Meanwhile, Mr Byron’s wife is said to be keeping a low profile at her family’s $2.4million mansion following the scandal.
Megan Kerrigan has so far kept quiet – but she seemingly confirmed the cheating allegations against her husband by removing his surname from her Facebook profile name.
She is now said to be lying low with her family members including her elder sister Maura, at her family’s grand mansion in Maine.
It is understood that many family members visited the four-bedroom, four-bathroom property over the weekend.
But it is unclear if Mr Byron came to speak to his wife following the Coldplay gig.
