Just when the kiss-cam chaos seemed to hit peak embarrassment for Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and HR chief Kristin Cabot, a new angle of the now-infamous night has surfaced and it’s somehow even steamier.

TMZ has obtained exclusive behind-the-scenes footage showing the two top executives engaging in an intimate embrace before they were captured in the viral Coldplay “kiss cam” video that sent the internet and the tech world into a collective tailspin. While the original front-facing clip showed the pair flinch and freeze as the camera zoomed in, this new clip reveals the real story: the kiss wasn’t a one-off moment. They were already all over each other long before the arena’s spotlight hit.

The Video That Changes Everything

Shot from behind the couple’s seats at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, the new video shows the duo swaying together as Coldplay frontman Chris Martin serenades the crowd with “Yellow.” The stadium is lit up by tens of thousands of glowing cell phone lights, and the silhouetted figures of Byron and Cabot are unmistakable.

Kristin Cabot leans into Andy Byron’s chest as he wraps an arm around her waist. They appear to be completely engrossed in each other, swaying to the music, as the rest of the crowd is transfixed by the performance. At one point, Andy leans down and kisses Kristin no cameras, no spotlight, just them. It’s an intimate moment one they clearly didn’t expect to be captured on video, but one that’s now front and center in an already escalating scandal.

Fallout and Suspensions

Per Axios, Byron has taken a formal leave of absence from Astronomer, and Cabot has been suspended pending the outcome of an internal investigation. The company, a rising star in the open-source data infrastructure space, was barely known to the general public before this week. Now, its name is plastered across headlines from Page Six to Forbes.

The board of directors at Astronomer has launched a full-scale investigation into the incident, noting in a public statement that they take “allegations of impropriety seriously” and are committed to “upholding the integrity of the workplace.”

Neither Byron nor Cabot has issued a public comment, but this new footage is likely to become a key piece of evidence in the company’s investigation.
