ASTRONOMER HR supremo Kristin Cabot has resigned from her position at the tech firm following the Coldplay kiss-cam scandal.
Ms Cabot and her former boss Andy Byron were caught off guard when their grinning faces flashed up on a big screen in front of 55,000 people at Boston’s Gillette Stadium.

A staffer for Astronomer told TMZ: “Kristin Cabot is no longer with Astronomer, she’s resigned.”
It comes just days after Mr Byron resigned from his position.
The company said in a statement: “As stated previously, Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding. Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met.
“Andy Byron has tendered his resignation, and the Board of Directors has accepted. The Board will begin a search for our next Chief Executive as Cofounder and Chief Product Officer Pete DeJoy continues to serve as interim CEO.”
The panicked pair – who both have families of their own – were seen rushing for cover after being left red-faced in the packed stadium.
Their reaction to being filmed has caught the world’s attention – with millions now talking about the alleged affair.
Mr Byron and Ms Cabot’s reaction appeared to show guilt and has since gone viral online with speculation the HR chief is the tech boss’ “mistress”.
A chorus of laughter echoed around the jam-packed stadium when Viva la Vida singer Chis Martin – without knowing who they were – quipped: “Oh what… either they’re having an affair or they’re very shy.”
