A new video has surfaced showing ousted tech CEO Andy Byron getting cozy with his HR chief Kristin Cabot at last week’s Coldplay concert just moments before the band’s kiss cam caught them red–handed.

Byron, who resigned just days ago amidst a swirling scandal, is seen with his arm around Cabot, swaying to the music at Boston’s Gillette Stadium.

The footage was unearthed by concertgoers actively searching for more incriminating evidence involving the alleged couple, who were seated prominently in the front row of the mezzanine.

Images show them stood up next to other seated patrons, with Byron pressed close behind Cabot.

The pair’s open display of affection, directly in the line of sight of Chris Martin and his bandmates, took a sharp turn when the kiss cam focused on them.

Their initial smiles quickly morphed into panic as they attempted to hide their faces and sink out of view.

Coldplay frontman Chris Martin quipped, ‘Oh what… either they’re having an affair or they’re very shy.’

Byron, seeing himself on the big screen, appeared to mutter, ‘F****** hell, it’s me.’

The awkward moment elicited roaring laughter from the 55,000–strong crowd and has since garnered millions of views online.

Both Byron and Cabot, employees of the over $1.3 billion tech company Astronomer, were immediately placed on leave following the incident, which ultimately led to Byron’s public resignation.

Astronomer announced Byron’s resignation in a statement on Saturday.

‘Andy Byron has tendered his resignation, and the Board of Directors has accepted.’

Cofounder and Chief Product Officer Pete DeJoy will stay on as interim CEO.

‘While awareness of our company may have changed overnight, our product and our work for our customers have not. We’re continuing to do what we do best: helping our customers with their toughest data and AI problems.’

Astronomer acknowledged the awkward situation in the statement announcing Byron’s resignation.

‘Before this week, we were known as a pioneer in the DataOps space, helping data teams power everything from modern analytics to production AI,’ the statement read.

‘While awareness of our company may have changed over night our product and our work for our customers have not.’

Public records suggest both Byron and Cabot are married.

The new CEO of Astronomer issued a statement announcing his official role on Monday, as he appeared to suggest he’s thrilled about the awkward Coldplay concert cuddling scandal that landed him the job.

Pete DeJoy took to LinkedIn to announce his new and now official role.

‘The spotlight has been unusual and surreal for our team and, while I would never have wished for it to happen like this, Astronomer is now a household name,’ he wrote.

‘I’m stepping into this role with a wholehearted commitment to taking care of our people and delivering for our customers.

‘Astronomer’s foundation remains strong, built around the thriving Apache Airflow community,’ he went on, adding that the company ‘won’t let you down’.

Byron is married to wife Megan Byron, according to public records. She removed her husband’s last name from her social media profiles shortly before the viral moment exploded.

 The 50-year-old fled the couple’s $1.4million home in Northborough, Massachusetts, and has been trying to keep a low profile at their $2.4million luxury property in Kennebunk, 106 miles away.

Cabot meanwhile is married to Andrew Cabot, who is a direct descendent of one of the original Boston Brahmin families.

The term ‘Boston Brahmin’ refers to the historic aristocracy in Boston, dating back to the the earliest English colonists. These ultra-wealthy families held significant social, political and cultural influence from the 18th century onward.

Andrew is chief executive of Privateer Rum, a Massachusetts-based booze maker. He is also heir to his family’s $15.4 billion fortune.
