Woman caught on Coldplay jumbotron explains relationship with CEO now after viral moment

Kristin Cabot has publicly addressed the incident that went viral earlier this year. She and her former boss, Andy Byron, were filmed in an intimate moment on the jumbotron at a Coldplay concert in July.

Both individuals resigned from their positions at Astronomer following the viral video. Byron was the company’s CEO and married at the time, while Cabot served as the Chief People Officer. Cabot had been separated from her husband.

In a recent interview, Cabot revealed she and Byron remained in contact throughout the summer. They discussed work and personal matters, struggling to adjust after leaving their demanding jobs.

The former colleagues decided to meet in September. They concluded that continuing to speak would hinder everyone’s ability to move forward and heal from the situation.

Since that meeting, their communication has been minimal. Cabot emphasized that they were not in a sexual relationship and had not kissed prior to the concert footage.

Cabot described feeling profound embarrassment, noting the cliché of an HR head and a CEO being involved in such a scenario. After seeing themselves on screen, they immediately knew they had to inform the company’s board.

The incident serves as a cautionary tale about workplace relationships and public visibility. Cabot’s reflection highlights the personal and professional consequences of that single, viral moment.
