Astronomer CEO Andrew Byron Resigns After Kiss Cam Scandal at Coldplay Concert

Country star Morgan Wallen made a playful reference to a viral scandal involving Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and HR chief Kristin Cabot, who were caught in an apparent affair on a kiss cam during a Coldplay concert at Boston's Gillette Stadium. The clip showing Byron and Cabot acting suspiciously after being caught on the jumbotron quickly went viral, leading to Byron's placement on leave and subsequent resignation from the billion-dollar AI startup. At a recent concert in Glendale, Arizona, Wallen joked that anyone attending with a "side chick" was safe at his show, humorously addressing the ongoing social media frenzy. Coldplay's lead singer Chris Martin also commented on the incident with a lighthearted remark during their performances. Astronomer emphasized its commitment to leadership accountability following the incident, with Cofounder Pete DeJoy stepping in as interim CEO. Wallen's comments sparked laughter and applause among fans, who appreciated his cheeky nod to the controversy while distancing himself from condoning infidelity.
