A tech company whose boss was filmed hugging a colleague at a Coldplay concert has said a purported statement from him expressing remorse is fake.

Last Wednesday, while at the Coldplay concert in Boston, Byron and Kristin Cabot, a top HR executive at Astronomer, were caught canoodling on the big screen.

Andy Byron, who has found himself at the center of a social media firestorm over a Coldplay concert video, was the CEO of a tech company named Astronomer. On July 19, the company announced that Byron has resigned in the wake of the scandal.

The wife of former Astronomer CEO Andy Byron is reportedly holed up in a $2.4 million Maine mansion since her husband was caught on camera at a Coldplay concert cozying up with his HR chief.

Astronomer CEO Andy Byron—who hid from the jumbotron after he was seen in a close embrace with a woman at a Coldplay concert—has been put on leave at the tech company following the viral video.

Internet sleuths identified the pair at the Boston concert as Andy Byron, CEO of tech company Astronomer, and Kristin Cabot, the company's Chief People Officer. Byron was already CEO when Cabot was hired to the board in November 2024.

A fan shared the footage of Coldplay frontman Chris Martin singing up close — with the disgraced former CEO cuddling Cabot on a balcony behind him.
