Woman seen in Coldplay kiss cam video resigns from Astronomer

The woman seen in the now-viral video of a couple attempting to hide after being featured on a giant “kiss cam” screen at a Coldplay concert last week has resigned from her position at Astronomer.

Kristin Cabot resigned from the data company, it said in a statement Thursday.

Cabot did not respond to a request for comment.An archived version of Astronomer’s website lists her as its chief people officer.

Cabot was identified by online users as the woman in the viral video. Online users identified both her and Astronomer CEO Andy Byron as being in the video. The company on Saturday said Byron had resigned.

Cabot and Byron catapulted to international fame last week after Chris Martin, the lead singer of Coldplay, called them out for hiding their faces once they were caught on a kiss camera during a show in Massachusetts, hypothesizing that they were either shy or might have been having an affair.

Astronomer CEO Andy Byron resigned days after a video showing a couple ducking away from the kiss cam at a recent Coldplay concert in Massachusetts went viral.

A video of the moment made rounds online and went viral on social media platforms X and TikTok. Internet sleuths almost immediately identified the man and woman in the clip.

On Friday, Astronomer, a New York-based data company, said its CEO had been placed on leave and that it was investigating the viral moment.

Byron’s resignation followed the next day. The company named co-founder and Chief Product Officer Pete DeJoy as its interim CEO.

Byron has not replied to NBC News’ requests for comment.
