“BREAKING: Kristin Cabot has resigned from Astronomer following her Coldplay kiss cam scandal with her ex-boss Andy Byron. A rep for Astronomer tells me, ‘Yes, I can confirm that Kristin Cabot is no longer with Astronomer, she has resigned.'”
Everybody & Their Mama Had Something To Say
The Shade Room Instagram comments were a whole scene, with folks sounding off from every angle. Some were confused about the drama altogether, asking what cheating—or even a kiss—had to do with someone’s job. Others? They were jokingly rooting for Kristin and Andy, saying after all this chaos, they better end up together!
One Instagram user @c.jayy2x commented, “they knew it was over rt away 😂”
Instagram user @jeezy24k joked, “That’s 2 planets in orbit 😂🤦🏿♂️”
And, Instagram user @richclouut said, “Idc how public it was I was not resigning from my job , my personal life has nothing to do with work“
Meanwhile, Instagram user @_jazz________ wrote, “They better be together after all this“
While, Instagram user @kweenmocha said, “Coldplay knew they picked the right name for their band 🤣”
Finally, Instagram user @ljnd.music shared, “Unpopular opinion but what infidelity gotta do with the jobs 🤷♂️ in that case 75% of the country shouldn’t be working 😂”
What Prompted Kristin To Resign?
The drama first sparked at a Coldplay concert, when a cozy moment quickly went left between Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot. Things escalated when both execs at Astronomer appeared on the stadium’s jumbotron and visibly panicked. This moment prompted Chris Martin to joke about whether they were just “shy”… or “having an affair.” While the crowd laughed, the company wasn’t playing—Astronomer announced the launch of a full investigation into the incident.
Furthermore, on the heels of the viral video, Andy Byron officially tendered his resignation as CEO of Astronomer, according to a public statement released by the company on X. The Board of Directors accepted his departure and confirmed that cofounder and Chief Product Officer, Pete DeJoy, will serve as interim CEO while the search for a permanent replacement begins.
