A few seconds were enough to turn their lives upside down and make them known to the whole world. During a Coldplay concert in Boston, an embracing couple appeared on the giant screen and, seeing each other, the man crouched down to disappear and the woman turned around, hiding her face. “Either they are having an affair, or they are just very shy,” reacted Chris Martin, the singer.
The first option was the right one, the man, Andy Byron, being the CEO of the Astonomer company and having a wife and children, but it was not his wife who accompanied him that evening, It was Kristin Cabot, the HR director of his company.
The case has gone viral, raising questions in particular about a society where everyone is constantly filmed and can see their lives turned upside down for an image. The CEO resigned on July 19. Yesterday, Kristin Cabot did the same. “Kristin Cabot no longer works at Astronomer, she has resigned,” a company spokesperson wrote to CNBC.
Kristin Cabot is a woman who has been divorced since 2022 and has since remarried and has children. The respective spouses of the two lovers reacted. The CEO’s wife first erased her last name and then deleted her Facebook profile, according to the “Dailymail”. And Kristin Cabot’s husband, a multimillionaire rum maker, removed his wife’s profile from his company’s website.
Last Sunday, the band Oasis alluded to this story at a concert in Manchester, saying that if there were any illegitimate couples in the audience, they didn’t have to worry because they didn’t have the damn cameras like Coldplay.
