Cheating heteros outed on fancam at Coldplay concert

The money shot

The internet rushed to tell his wife

YAAAAAAAS YOU GO GURL

DON’T GET MAD, GET EVERYTHING

Nice to see the company's Chief People Officer taking a hands-on approach in getting to know her people.

I guess if they had done nothing and had no reaction the moment would have just faded into the oblivion, unmemorable. But the reaction made it notorious!

Honey, the wife probably knows and is there for the $$$ only and kids if any...

[quote] The internet rushed to tell his wife

Which was totally fucking shitty.

I know they thought they were doing her a favor, but if it were me, I would feel HUMILIATED that this was put on display for the entire world to see.

I wouldn't feel like anyone was doing me a favor. I would actually feel very hurt by it. And I'm a GUY. Women are even more sensitive to this kind of thing.

Everything on social media always has to be turned into something so salacious and malicious. Like middle school or high school gossip going around the entire school, and everyone whispering and pointing fingers.

Trust me, the internet did his wife NO FAVORS by plastering this all over social media.

Or, she could have turned around and kissed him, blocking both their faces....

Not too clever, is she?

Do the people who "rushed" to tell his wife have no life of their own to worry about?

[quote] I found this post to be interesting:

[italic]Mrs. SpaceX ™️ @anuibi

The lady smiling ear to ear is Alyssa Stoddard, recently promoted to VP of People by Kristin Cabot at @astronomerio . 🤯🤯🤯

Does anyone else know of a more toxic workplace?[/italic]

So apparently, the other people with them at the concert ALL KNEW he was cheating on his wife, and instead of downplaying it, they all stood there cheering for the "couple."

I agree with the poster that it must be a very toxic workplace, where this guy is cheating on his wife out in the open, and his co-workers are all perfectly fine with it.

And naturally, the bitch cheering on camera for the cheaters being caught, was recently promoted to Vice President by the cheating HR lady.

Gross.

The cheating HR Lady is Kristin Cabot (THORNBY).

So obviously, she's married too.

Here's her husband.

HR is always in bed with management.

I laughed.

oh wow.. I actually know that dude professionally.

Spill, R24!

Another FRAU BAIT thread for the caps kween R7

[quote] oh wow.. I actually know that dude professionally.

Is he as attractive in person, as he looks on the video?

I think he's hot.

The saddest part is that in most states infidelity does not impact the distribution of assets in a divorce. There may be some modest adjustment if marital assets were used to facilitate the divorce. But, you can be a cheating whore who never worked a day in your life and rob your husband of a huge portion of assets and get alimony.

It may, rarely, impact custody of children.

You'd think someone hurt me, but no. For some reason, I just find cheating and paternity fraud outrageous. You'd think I'm into MRA, but I also find those idiots gross, as well.

I just don't think lying and cheating should be rewarded.

Stop being such a little bitch, r21

Not much to say really. The company I work for does business with his company. Have met him a few times. He's pretty much a generic above average looking middle-aged white guy with a heavy emphasis on generic.

Chris consciously uncoupled these two from their spouses.

Who takes their workplace whore to a Coldplay concert?

His reaction spoke volumes about his character. He dumped that chick and hid faster than you could say alimony. He is pathetic.

Aren't they too old to listen to Coldplay?

White people and their love of Coldplay always makes me laugh. Coldplay sucks ass

His company does horoscopes. Not a serious company.

Hey frau at r28, I think you lost your way while looking for iVillage.

I'd be more embarrassed of being outed as a Coldplay concert goer.

R23, love that tweet--"imagine everyone finding out you went to a Coldplay concert".

[quote]Who takes their workplace whore to a Coldplay concert?

Generic middle-aged white guys.

Hetero cheating stats

That went to meme like wildfire

His wife is going to get quite a lot of money in the divorce.

There is evidence of his infidelity that the entire world has seen.

He's fucking toast.

To think if they hadn’t flinched, no one would have known the difference and it never would have made it to social media.

Everyone is assuming the other spouses had no idea but who knows.

Hi, I'm here for the frau convention. I brought tampons and pamprin!

If he has kids, they are the only ones I would feel sorry for.

At least it wasn't an Ed Sheeran concert. Now, that would've been mortifying.

Everyone involved is mid. Which is what one expects at Coldplay concert

Did we learn nothing from Ned Fulmer of the Try Guys?

They deserved to be exposed. I mean, out of all places you can take your mistress to a date, why the fuck you chose a place full of cameras like a stadium/concert venue?

Bet this knocks the Epstein Files drama out of the limelight. Trump should send these two thank you gifts. Also, this type of drama is absolutely when the internet is at its best and I'm here for it. Some of the comments and memes on Twitter/X are hilarious!

Two words: Betty. Boderick.

Oh, r53, Betty Broderick is so much more than a mere two words.

Guess Nickelback is on hiatus.

She was so happy to be a cunt homewrecker, seducing the CEO, until she got caught.

The wife is far, far better than the slut at the concert.

Whenever I fuck up in the future I will remember this for some perspective

[quote]Did we learn nothing from Ned Fulmer of the Try Guys?

What did we learn from Ned?

The CEO speaks! In the douchiest way possible.

Dumbo Tron

Kristin Cabot, Astronomer HR chief caught cuddling with boss Andy Byron on Coldplay jumbotron, bragged that she ‘wins the trust of CEOs’

She wins them by spreading her legs

Slap a Scarlet Letter on the WHORE!

As Aunt Ida taught us many years ago......the world of heterosexuals is a sick and boring life!

The husband is worth $1.3 billion.

I hope the wife is already picking out her new mansion and Porsche.

The straights just need to go poly like the gays

[quote] The husband is worth $1.3 billion.

HO.

LEE.

FUK.

I never would have guessed.

Well now he’s worth $650M! Cha-chinggg 💰

After their reactions, why put them on blast with speculation Chris Martin. I guess he was in the moment. Whores.

Best thing Coldplay ever did.

The HR wants what it wants

and so does its CEO

The really, REALLY sad thing is that these two’s innocent love of Coldplay is forever ruined, tarnished, and tainted. Now, whenever they hear Speed Of Sound in the supermarket or while on hold with some offshore customer service center it will trigger shameful memories and PTSD. It’s all so very tragic!

Maybe there’s room for them to move over to Air Supply’s fan base since Vicky L. jumped ship. They can create new and wonderful memories swaying to Hear I Am!

HERE I AM

This was ALL OVER the internet today. It wouldn't have made much press except that Chris whatshisface from Coldplay actually said - oh is it an affair in the clip.

That made them internet famous SO fast.

She obviously will have to quit - he's going to be divorced and alienated from his kids. Thank God it's over the summer so the kids may not suffer the huge torment - but they will get something this fall.

Stupid fuckers - doing it at I presume a company concert or among co-workers. Their lives just blew up in a flash.

You have to wonder what the rest of their night was like and this morning! God - you just want to hide from the world. Whew this is bad.

And fuck HR woman! She had a HOT husband too.

He had a PTSD moment because Gwynie cheated with Jay-Z. You will never convince me she was not Becky with the good hair. I said what the fuck I said.

“Oh, what?” the band’s frontman, Chris Martin, can be heard asking on stage. “Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy.”

You knew what you were doing Chris - LOL. Points for ugly old untalented Chris Martin.

I can't believe anyone likes Coldplay - it's muzak.

I first saw this video with the sound off, then played again on the this thread and the sound was on… It was bad enough being seen on the Jumbotron but to have Chris Martin announce it to now the world, OMG!

I'm looking forward to Ross Douthat's op-ed in NYT tomorrow: "How Rock Music Destroyed American Morals and Values."

I hope the current Mrs. Byron is already “on the train for Reno”!

Get that money, girl.

We need memes

These nobodies became world-famous overnight - and it's going to haunt them FOREVER.

Wow - they're going to have a terrible 2025 and 2026. I wonder if they'll end up marrying?

Look, that rumor about Gwyneth and JayZ - I honestly can't believe that it happened. WHAT IN GOD'S NAME could she see in that fugly douchebag whose sex appeal ranks in the negative numbers? She has/had her own money and fame, so fucking him would do what for her, exactly? You can't convince me she felt any lust for that ugly bastard either.

I'm sorry...I just don't believe it happened. And you can't change my mind, so don't even try.

[quote] Wow - they're going to have a terrible 2025 and 2026. I wonder if they'll end up marrying?

Chances are, they're in the process of breaking up.

Cheating is never as fun, once it becomes public.

I'll just bet that this guy is scrambling to save his marriage.

[quote]Gotta be careful with your side piece on Haunted Mansion now too. Lol.

What does this even mean?

[quote]Who takes their workplace whore to a Coldplay concert?

It was their company picnic so of course she was there. I wish my company gave me a concert. My company picnic is going to go see Superman.

I think human beings have an innate need to gossip. And people are so alienated now from their family and each other that they have no one to gossip about. Thus we get shit like this or the Real Housewives.

It is not a crime to have an affair!!!

The universe works in mysterious ways... sending message to long suffering wife it's time to pack your bags!

I bet you this isn't the first time lol

Please no prenup please no prenup

R83 you do realize straight women are wired differently from gay males and thus have different markers for romantic attraction. #Helpful

This PR bitch sure knows how to pick them!

[quote] She was also the head of HR for his company, so she should have known better.

Too bad they weren't at a Richard Marx concert!

He just released a statement. Sorry about the Facebook link.

He has a prenup, count on it.

R23 linked to a right-wing account

Ugh, Coldplay. The ultimate Pop/Rock band for dweebs who want to think they'll be 29-forever.

At least they’re better than The Mighty Crabjoys. Emo/Punk Rock Lite for dweebs who think they’re so punk rock.

He’s blaming Coldplay for having a fancam?

Dude. Take some responsibility.

I work for attorneys and about ten years ago one of our clients, who was a school administrator of a very large school district was having an long-running affair with his chief of staff or someone like that. His wife busted him because the side piece sexted him while he was out running and the wife saw his phone. That one made the news because he had a measure of fame in the county he worked for.

[quote]R80 Get that money, girl.

If his money is inherited wealth or predates the marriage, she isn’t entitled to any of that in a divorce. Most often it’s only money acquired as income during the marriage that counts.

[quote]r82 These nobodies became world-famous overnight - and it's going to haunt them FOREVER.

under Work History, what does she put on her next job application as “Reason for Leaving”?

I thought Tracey Edmonds was Becky With the Good Hair.

Gwynnie may have many fine qualities, but her hair is not one of them.

A small part of me is happy every time a bad thing happens to a HR exec.

^ Agreed. They’re all fucking evil.

And what dumb Fks, if you are bold enough to go out in public and to a game where this kind of Kissing Cam on the jumbo tron is a known thing they do at all those games, then you are just made it everyone's business.

This just proves my theory ALL HR people are WHORES. In this case she went a step further but a whore none less.

[bold] Never, never, never trust HR. They are ALWAYS working for the company NOT YOU. No matter what they say, how comfortable you fell telling them some personal secrets, no matter how much they say they are legally bound to confidentiality. When you step out of their office, they are right there on their knees eating the bosses ass with a smile.

The straights are so tawdry.

[quote] And what dumb Fks, if you are bold enough to go out in public and to a game where this kind of Kissing Cam on the jumbo tron is a known thing they do at all those games, then you are just made it everyone's business.

It was a Coldplay concert, R106. Not a "game."

.

Apparently, Coldplay’s fan cam is a little different than others, with Martin always making up a little ditty to sing about whoever’s on camera. So they were getting their moment regardless, but a non-reaction probably wouldn’t have blown up like this.

[quote] It is not a crime to have an affair!!!

It’s true that a lot of places allow people not to be held legally accountable for adultery, but it’s appropriately a crime elsewhere, including some U.S. states.

R110, Whatever, it was still a very large public event. Rule of thumb, if you don't want to get caught cheating, don't bring your HR whore employee to a public event for all to see and expect privacy.

Internet search says he's worth about 50 million. Maybe -25 once his wife gets her half in the divorce.

The world of a heterosexual is a sick and boring life.

Can you imagine going to a company event and dealing with this from the CEO and CPO? They were flaunting their shit. They deserve this.

Hopefully we soon hear all the good work stories about them from the employees.

Well obviously he hired her for her excellent people management skills.

Isn't this bitches job to protect the company from lawsuits from rouge employees? She basically lit the fire that she was hired to put out.

I wanna know how much of a harpy shrew the wife is that the husband felt it was OK to step out on her.

Ex-employee rips Astronomer CEO Andy Byron as ‘toxic’ boss — claims staffers ‘enjoying’ Coldplay kiss cam drama: ‘Everybody’s laughing their ass off’

The text groups and chains of former employees are like … everybody’s laughing their ass off and enjoying the hell out of what happened and him getting exposed,” the source said.

In the workplace, Byron allegedly has a reputation as an aggressive, sales-obsessed executive who can be “toxic,” the source added.

The Slack chatspaces at that company must be absolutely popping this week. No work is getting done!

Can someone confirm whether this was a corporate gig or whether they had a corporate box at the concert?

Either way - really fucking inappropriate to do in front of your employees.

I think it was corporate. The grinning woman nearby was just promoted by HR woman...

Half of $1.3 billion is $650 million.

Three kids together and the hubby caught cheating in public for the whole world to see. He should just go ahead and write her the check.

Where are we getting this 1.3 billion net worth number from? Is that the value of this horoscope company? Because that does not mean the CEO owns all of it - not even close.

Not sure how a fucking horoscope company gets evaluated at that amount anyway.

When you do something so brazen as to canoodle and carry on IN FRONT OF YOUR EMPLOYEES at a very PUBLIC venue, all I can say is:

fuck around and find out.

R127, horoscopes, lol. Astronomer seems to be some sort of data/tech company. Their website is saturated with corporate tech jargon, hard to infer what they specifically do.

I'm almost envious of that R123. I'd love to be privy to those interoffice chats!

His wife is a lot prettier than the Chief HR Whore. She must be letting him do anal.

The photo posted a few posts up is Kevin Costner’s wife

[quote] I'd love to be privy to those interoffice chats!

Ginny in Billing and Cheryl in Accounts Receivable must be having multiple fraugasms over this bit of juicy gissip!

On Reddit, the question “People who work at ‘Astronomer,’ how was work today?” was posted. The top response was “I can’t believe this is how I found out Coldplay was on tour.”

R120, is there a link?

Some HR shark must be thrilled to have to deal with this via zoom from the yacht while on vacation.

"It has come to our attention bla bla bla bla....

Wishing you all the best in your future endeavors"

Funnily enough, HR is half at fault for this disaster.

How many marriages has Chris Martin destroyed now?

R137: It's easy. Highlight the text + SEARCH.

R120's text is the exact title of a Daily Mail(?) article.

[quote]R127 Not sure how a fucking horoscope company gets evaluated at that amount anyway.

Considering the surprising turn this man’s life took, are their horoscope predictions very helpful?

He banged Kate Bosworth AND Alesha Dixon when married to Gwynnie.

Are there leaders and teams that are NOT people?

No way she keeps her job

The tech company run by a CEO exposed having an alleged affair with his head-of-HR mistress on a “kiss cam” at a Coldplay concert said Friday that it has launched an investigation into the embarrassing incident, suggesting the intimate relationship was unknown to the firm’s board.

“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,” the tech-and-data firm said in a statement.

The Board of Directors has initiated a formal investigation into this matter and we will have additional details to share very shortly.”

[quote] “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,” the tech-and-data firm said in a statement.

Are we living in the 1800s?

Give me a break.

This has nothing to do with business.

People cheat. Deal with it.

Besides, these two will pay for their indiscretion, in other ways. Not the least of which is financially.

Yes, affairs happen r149.

However, an affair between the CEO and the HR Head is a big problem, as HE is her REPORT-TO.

That's a NO-NO. What should have been done is the same thing that happened in a similar situation in the early 2000s at bank I worked for: reveal the affair and change the reporting structure. However, that's - AGAIN - a problem, since he's the CEO. The only person above him is the BOD, and they were "unaware."

So, yeah...it's a BIG problem now.

[quote] People cheat. Deal with it.

^^^^ You can always tell the comments made by people who have cheated on someone.

They both need to resign. There is no way back from that. The board and their investors must have zero confidence if the company’s leadership showed unbelievably bad judgment.

I hadn't known that company existed until this scandal broke.

Oh, the publicity! La publicité!

Can't wait for the Lifetime Original movie based on this.

I eat old cheaters excrement.

Having lived this, not-so 'clandestine' inter-office bonking in a reporting chain creates a myriad of problems for a company, the biggest being LOTS of employees are usually impacted negatively. Here, with the head of HR involved - which is supposed to be a safe place where people go to get their reporting chain issues remedied - the level of fuckery and hubris here is off the charts. I love that the Board seems to be committing to share publicly the details of the investigation.

There is no way either of them keeps their job.

I’m shocked there hasn’t been an announcement about their resignation/termination but I guess the lawyers are still hammering out the details .

[quote]The tech company run by a CEO exposed having an alleged affair with his head-of-HR mistress on a “kiss cam” at a Coldplay concert said Friday that it has launched an investigation into the embarrassing incident, suggesting the intimate relationship was unknown to the firm’s board.

HR used to be the Executive Secretary who had all of the personal records under lock and key, the person who came every twice a month and handed out paychecks in the 1st and 3rd Thursdays. Now it's elevated to the C-Suite, an executive, an office elevated to the highest ranks - yet slightly apart so as to have no significant role beyond being the face to greet the incoming and the person to escort you to your desk with a cardboard box for any personal effects at the end of your run. More than 78% of Chief People Officers or Chief HR Officers are women -- and the percentage grows wider at a time when women at the top positions are losing numbers.

HR is supposed to train staff in recognizing inappropriate behavior, relationships that can have the appearance of a conflict if interest, blah, blah, blah. It's a joke to.separate the drones from the decision-makers, and to do the bidding of the latter.

HR isn't half as hated as they should be. There.must be some fundamental instinct to believe that, at core, all people are good and have your best interests as their priority. After all they are People Officers!

I hope the who HR Up With People lot.lose their jobs.and their houses for having pulled the wool over so many eyes. What a fucking Joke they are.

[quote]Chief people officers remain one of the only C-suite roles that is dominated by women rather than men, the report found. Seventy-eight percent of new CHROs were women in 2019, and of all Fortune 200 CHROs, 67.3 percent were women, according to the report. This happened in the same time span in which the CEO role in the Fortune 200 saw a decline in female representation.

[quote] They both need to resign. There is no way back from that. The board and their investors must have zero confidence if the company’s leadership showed unbelievably bad judgment.

R153 Agree, but it shouldn't stop there. Neither of these two should work in a corporate C-suite ever again, especially that of any corporation funded by public investors. That doesn't mean they won't -- we seem to have returned to an era (temporarily, with any luck) where mediocre-to-downright-idiotic white people like these morons get opportunities they don't deserve. (See also: Most of current Trump admin and cabinet, specifically Trump, Vance, Hegseth, Noem, RFK Jr., Lutnick, and douchebag member emeritus/government-funded welfare queen Musk.)

Catastrophically bad judgment on both their parts. The good news is, with their cover being blown on such a massive public stage, there is zero chance that any future background check will miss this debacle.

[quote]r153 They both need to resign. There is no way back

And both must be escorted from the building by Security, cardboard boxes of belongings in hand... as per HR guidelines.

The walk of atonement will occur everywhere they dare to show their face in public.

Speaking of which, I predict the first post-shitstorm interview goes to Amy & TJ. They get it, for reals.

R126 and all you other spurned fraus stop flicking your dried up frau clits over this 1.6 billion dollar figure that's swanning about this thread. The COMPANY is worth 1.6.

And he has a prenup.

So just stop.

Who is that bottom in the SportsCenter clip?

This is the most I've heard anyone talking about Coldplay in a decade.

[quote] This has nothing to do with business. People cheat. Deal with it.

Not in a work environment. Guess who the CEO is going to give first dibs on the new management position, or the highest salary. Or who's going to get fired if you have a complaint about his new fuck buddy's actual work skills. Not to mention making it very awkward for the employees to pretend they see nothing when the wife stops by. Or worse gets suspicious and asks if you have seen anything. Or even worse she knows and then confronts you as to way you didn't say anything to her after knowing each other for years.

[quote]More than 78% of Chief People Officers or Chief HR Officers are women

I have met a few gays in that same position. Just as cunty if not more to. Angry bottoms on a power trip.

[quote]I hope the who HR Up With People lot.lose their jobs.and their houses for having pulled the wool over so many eyes. What a fucking Joke they are.

This is why any time I have a conversation about business I highly encourage and talk up the benefits of using an outside service like Bambee. The selling point is it's a LOT cheaper and no office or huge salaries needed. But my secret reason is I want to see that profession die in the office. It's a field ripe for disruption so I encourage getting rid of in-house HR every chance I get.

Isn’t Chief People Officer a position at Lumon?

You’re wrong. It’s the walk of atonement.

Astronomer HR chief Kristin Cabot appears to be married to CEO of Privateer Rum— and bought a house with him just five months ago: records

She's a...umm...*handsome* woman.

Amazing. Coldplay hasn’t made a single in years. Then, in one moment, they make two.

R179 Actually, they made four singles in that moment!

The cuckold

HR lady should have had her roots dyed.

That angle makes her look particularly geriatric.

The cheating husband is douchey hot. I'd be his mistress.

[quote]I hope the wife is already picking out her new mansion and Porsche.

From what I heard on reddit last night, she changed to her maiden name on her social media accounts shortly after people started blowing them up to break the news. I hope she goes full She-Devil on his ass.

R166, his name is Gary Striewski. He’s Polish and Korean.

He has a prenup.

R181, with the same first name as her paramour she didn’t have to worry about calling out the wrong name during sex.

"Chief People Officer". When did this become a thing??

R189 - yeah - it sounds wrong, trying to lift up HR into the C-suite, where frankly I don't think they belong.

The word choice makes it sound awful - I'm a Chief of the People but I'm an Officer (implying law and compliance). It sounds awful and a bit Orwellian.

It’s very common now. It’s no more Orwellian than Chief Technology Officer or Chief Operations Officer.

Her husband looks so old the guy she's fucking looks better!

Her kids are young!

R191 - it has a different ring when you insert Human into that title order though. Chief Careers Officer or Chief Employment Officer sounds better.

There's nothing human about HR - they're handling humans and their jobs - focus on the job aspect not on human. It reads so false and made-up.

R187 only his hairdresser knows for sure

189 about 4 years ago.

Even better: Head of Human Capital Management. That’s an actual title at my old Wall Street firm…I’m retired , so I don’t give a rat’s ass.

[quote]Her husband looks so old the guy she's fucking looks better!

Her husband is so old he couldn’t get it up anymore. She had to look elsewhere. It’s a cold play but do you really blame her?

R196 - her husband looks old? He looks good to me.

She looks like a 60+ year old woman in a pharmaceutical ad in that vid.

I feel like I've seen her on the top of a hillside bathing in one of two outdoor side-by-side bathtubs, holding her partner's hand in the other tub, while the voiceover talks about vaginal dryness and a drugs side effects (may include death).

Reality: she is sucking dick behind a curtain, in a corporate booth, at a Vegas Convention Center hospitality booth.

Because she’d be selling out. Duh

Byron looks like he's had some refreshing facial surgery.

And for many years afterwards, following the long awkward weekends when it was his turn with the kids, he would find Coldplay songs inserted into his playlists

Resigned.

Both Andys (cheater and cucked husband) are the kind of douchey sort of rich guys I find hot.....for a mouthful of cock, anyway.

Lol, he resigned

Well, they're available

They must have goods on him

Verificatia of sizemeat?

I wonder if the HR exec side of this affair duo will find a way to sue the company if/when she's terminated. For failing to protect her from having an affair with her boss.

R208 that’s probably why they haven’t terminated her yet. I am sure their lawyers are looking at this from every possible angle.

Kristin Cabot, the HR executive caught canoodling with Astronomer CEO Andy Byron at a Coldplay concert, appears to be married to the CEO of a different company — and bought a house with him less than five months before the scandal hit, The Post has learned.

Property records obtained by The Post show that the 52-year-old Cabot, whose maiden name is Stanek, has shared a Rye, New Hampshire address with Andrew Cabot — the chief executive of Privateer Rum, a Massachusetts-based booze maker — since at least 2023.

Privateer Rum’s website lists Andrew Cabot as its CEO and COO of the company. His bio says his “ancestor, the original Andrew Cabot (1750-1791), was a merchant, rum distiller and successful American privateer during the American Revolution.”

After being listed as co-residents at one address in Rye, Andrew and Kristin Cabot bought the two-story, four-bedroom New Englander-style house — located just minutes from the Atlantic coast — in February for $2.2 million, the records showed.

While Kristin and Andrew Cabot share a last name and appear to jointly own the home, The Post could not confirm immediately when or where their apparent marriage took place.

Kristin Cabot’s now-deleted LinkedIn account showed that she has served as an “advisory board member” at Privateer Rum since September 2020.

A photo purportedly showing Kristin and Andrew Cabot posing with two children has circulated on social media this week.

Andrew Cabot and Privateer Rum did not immediately return The Post’s requests for comment. Efforts to reach Kristin Cabot also were unsuccessful.

Astronomer, a New York-based software firm, confirmed Friday afternoon that it was investigating the concert incident.

“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,” the company said in a statement posted on LinkedIn.

“The Board of Directors has initiated a formal investigation into this matter and we will have additional details to share very shortly,” the company added.

As The Post previously reported, Kristin Cabot filed for divorce with her ex-husband Kenneth Thornby in 2018 and the split was finalized in 2022, according to Massachusetts court records.

Cabot and Byron went viral for trying to dodge the “kiss cam” at Gillette Stadium, which prompted Coldplay frontman Chris Martin to joke, “Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy.”

Byron, meanwhile, appeared to be married to Megan Kerrigan Byron. She deleted his last name from her social media accounts before taking them offline entirely following a wave of comments from the public.

“Responsible for the vision and strategy, Andrew works closely with the team he assembled to produce one of the finest rums in in the world,” Privateer’s website says. “One simple question has focused Andrew throughout his career in technology, and time in public education and academia– “how can we do this better?”

Elsewhere, ad copy for the brand — whose high-end bottles can retail for upwards of $100 each — pitches its strict use of authentic ingredients and “Made in the USA” pedigree.

“One thing is certain,” one ad advises. “Privateer advocates transparency, honesty and purity.”

This is going to make a great movie. Already thinking about the casting

Kristi Dawn as the cheating lady from H.R.

Peter Herman as cheatin’ CEO

Vera Farmiga for Kristin Cabot.

Maggie Gyllenhaal for the smiling, red faced colleague.

God, can you imagine. You're embroiled in a run of the mill, everyday type of affair and it's broadcast across the globe and everyone in the world knows about it. All thanks to Chris Martin.

The casting will be tricky because of the long foreign language sequences. Unbeknownst to either family, both marriages consist of deep cover agents. The Coldplay concert was supposed to be a safe surveillance-free document exchange - microfiche in the bra.

CHEATING WHORE!

Are those highlights or are her roots grey?

The man just has to give up money in a likely divorce and lose his job. She now will be forever known appropriately as a slut and a prostitute. She had a lot more to lose by engaging in an affair publicly. She should have controlled her lust.

[quote]R211 Cabot has shared a Rye, New Hampshire address with Andrew Cabot — the chief executive of Privateer Rum, a Massachusetts-based booze maker — since at least 2023.

I knew the [italic]demon rum [/italic]would raise its ugly head SOMEWHERE in here.

[quote] Vera Farmiga for Kristin Cabot.

I think the cheating whore looks more like Cheryl Hines.

So going from rum guy to horoscope guy. Upgrade or downgrade? Who would you rather?

Both women, cheater and cheated upon, should be played by Ann Coulter

So she divorced her previous husband in 2018 and it was finally resolved in 2022. So she's only been married 2-3 years - and here she is again, cheating on her husband.

I have a feeling the 2018 divorce also may have involved infidelity.

Kenneth Thornby is the hotter ex-husband apparently. I find this guy very hot. But sounds like she's made a career fucking men - hate women like this. She's not even that pretty.

I've worked with women like this - flirting shamelessly with male execs, giving them neck massages for stress, etc. It's so fucked up - and they know they get power out of it and will strong-eye everyone else while doing it.

[quote] So going from rum guy to horoscope guy. Upgrade or downgrade? Who would you rather?

I kind of like the Privateer Rum guy, Amdrew Cabot.

He seems more natural and laid back, in an "average guy" kind of way.

The cheating CEO seems kind of uptight, and from the posts above, it sounds like he's a task master.

Also, being a Rum CEO seems more fun than being a Tech CEO.

I'm with you, the rum guy's cute. I volunteer to condole him.

Although, Andy Byron is good looking too.

I wouldn't kick either of them out of bed.

And truthfully, they could both do better than her. She looks kind of haggard.

What I love about this is the HR executive involved is the epitome of what you find in the director and VP levels of HR executive types. , White, heterosexual, blonde, mid 40s to 60. Nice acting corporate settings and when being filmed however leads by fear intimidation and the consistent need for authority. I am sure she has spoken many times about the organization having a zero tolerance approach towards sexual harassment and here we go. The hypocrisy of this exists every organization.

Philly Phanatic wasted no time in recreating the photo.

R230 - with the gray hair on the side and her wrinkles - she looks like his mother.

He's just as guilty obvious - but what the fuck - she divorces her ex in 2002, immediately remarries, starts this job in 2024, and fucks the CEO with 8-10 months of starting?

This woman has fucked so many execs to get ahead. Totally hypocrite and calculating bitch.

However - she's must have something going for her - because all 3 men are pretty handsome and fit. Unreal that this 4 with gray hair is pulling this kind of dick over and over and over.

R226 blames the woman, not the man...it takes two to tango and 99% of Ashley Madison users are male

R234 never underestimate the misogyny of the average DL queen.

I hope they’re finding some dark humor in all of this or someday will. Their public humiliation has brought so much joy to so many people in these uncertain times and that’s worth something!

R236 not only that, it has united a divided nation

She just couldn't resist Andy's piercing blue eyes.

Shark eyes

The memes over the last 24 hours have already killed this story.

NEXT.

Without even knowing the situation there is just something about him that gives a ‘sleazy used-car salesman’ vibe as seen in R239’s pic.

That bitch probably does whatever kinky shit they want with glee. Thats her appeal . Though she seems better looking in other pics so maybe that was a really bad lighting and angles for her .

r236 He's definitely not (Andy). He's threatening to sue Coldplay / the Kisscam for revealing their affair.

Sorry for the Facebook link, but that's where I just saw it.

Woman who shot Coldplay "Kisscam" speaks out on Inside Edition.

R234 - I SAID he was just as guilty.

But she was recently divorced, recently remarried - and she's fucking her BOSS?

Dude - some of you women will defend women and pretend like its none of their fault.

Nobody forced this married woman to fuck her boss. He's not blameless at all - but she looks partiuclarly bad with her recent divorce AND her recent marriage.

As mentioned above…

Every time I see a hot dude with a not-so-hot chick, I always think of my dear friend who says in situations such as these, “She must do anal.”

[quote]That bitch probably does whatever kinky shit they want with glee. Thats her appeal .

Ding ding ding! To quote Matt Rogers, "men know if their wife won't I will."

Is she married or not? Some reports say she’s single so wasn’t cheating.

The worst part is being outed as a Cold Play fan. What kind of loser pays money for Coldplay tickets?

R244 - He's a CEO who didn't read the back of his ticket? Lame.

R250, that tired joke has been made a million times already. Do better.

This guy is really handsome. Brainiacs always have weak zippers. I'm surprised Pete was in D.C. for 4 years without any scandal.

Clearly, he’s not a brainiac.

Nice to see the older man not chasing after a teenage bimbo

[quote]Astronomer CEO Andy Byron, who is at the center of a scandal focused on a viral video featuring him cozying up to another company executive at a Coldplay concert’s kiss cam, has stepped down following online speculation of an affair.

R5 "What people do with their personal lives is none of anyone's business..."

If you knew your friend was being cheated on, you wouldn't tell them?

I feel if your spouse is being cheated on, you should tell them.

With cameras everywhere, there really is no expectation of privacy or anonymity in public anymore. Don’t do something you wouldn’t want to go viral.

The wife of CEO is kinda dumpy. I can see why he cheated

I don't get why it's anybody's business. But then I'm old.

Just saw a report that says the CEO Andy didn't KNOW she was married.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiggggghhhhhhhhht.

"Byron claims that the exposure of his private life without consent has caused irreparable damage, citing invasion of privacy and emotional distress."

Invasion of privacy? Bitch, you were as public as public can possibly be. GTFO.

R264 - while I agree they've endured an unwarranted amount of hate and jokes and this never would have gone this far if it wasn't Chris Martin calling it out and saying those words.

But - it's because of their positions within a company and that other employees were there.

Also there's a come-uppance that we all revel in because HR has screwed so many people over in so many companies and are such hypocrites.

I do feel bad them because this has gone way beyond anybody's expectations - but when you're this public about it in FRONT of your employees - yeah, you deserve it.

The only people I feel bad for is the kids.

Lucky for Andy and his wife, both sons are older.

So they won't be hurt by this scandal, as much as they'll be embarrassed by it.

And they'll just end up hating their dad and thinking that he's a total asshole for cheating on their mom.

They're old enough to understand that much.

They actually looked like a very happy and close-knit family.

I wonder if the boys are even speaking to their dad, at this point?

He's probably been kicked out of the house already.

Life in the Coldplay Panopticon

I’ve slept with plenty of married but but generally when you’re having an affair to stick to more low key places where nobody is going to take pictures of you.

Things that make you go Hmm 😒.

R274 - Damn - I suspected it was a corporate box. Then they knew EVERYONE in that box and most were co-workers.

On top of it - they made a big show of it by standing next to the railing.

Y'know - sometimes people get reckless like this and implode their lives because they need a big change. Welp - they got it!

[quote] Damn - I suspected it was a corporate box. Then they knew EVERYONE in that box and most were co-workers.

[quote] On top of it - they made a big show of it by standing next to the railing.

It was pure arrogance and hubris.

These two were really "feeling themselves."

Living life on top of the world, making multi million dollar salaries, enjoying the good life, attending concerts in premium seats, cheating on their spouses, and nothing could touch them.

They're a perfect example of "pride cometh before the fall." And I'm not mad about it.

If this isn’t a match made in hell, I don’t know what is.

R276 - yep, notice how nobody else was standing except them and their co-workers?

You're at the rail, standing up when everyone else is sitting - you're a clear shot for the camera man.

Normally, this would look like a sweet moment - except they were cheating.

You can't tell me this was the first crowd capture moment of the night. I bet they end up together - watch. And his two sons are not going to want to hang with the new stepmom and there will be conflict.

Every restaurant they go to - people will be taking pics or making comments. I would go in hiding for a year - seriously.

In all seriousness this is pretty horrific - the virality of it. People are gonna hate HR even more now.

HR exec in Coldplay cheating scandal married into one of the oldest, wealthiest families in Boston: ‘The Cabots speak only to God’

Stupid bitch!!!

There are a lot of Cabots, not all with big money.

[quote]There are a lot of Cabots, not all with big money.

That one who owned a lodge named after himself probably had some money.

It's the fact that so many people justifiably hate HR that this has gone quite as viral as it did.

Plus the whole "CEO shagging his direct report" aspect.

I've had two experiences with HR at Big Four companies and although both times friends and colleagues warned me that HR is there solely to protect the company, not the employee, it still came as a shock when things played out exactly like that.

HR everywhere can fuck right off.

[quote]It's the fact that so many people justifiably hate HR that this has gone quite as viral as it did.

If she had been the head of accounting, IT, or any other department, the public reaction would have been exactly the same.

Do you work in HR?

[quote]Just saw a report that says the CEO Andy didn't KNOW she was married.

First, bullshit. And second, he must have known HE was married.

Any chance these shitheads will try to sue Coldplay and/or the venue? Thinking outside the box here, people.

R287 - she was recently remarried to another CEO - I'm pretty sure she would be wearing that big rock on her finger every day. If she didn't, I would think the new husband would have been sus.

R285 - no - I think it's particularly egregious as SHE is supposed to enforce the rules of the company. She's not been there 8 months and she's already fucking her BOSS?

That takes a lot of gall. The first 6 months when I'm new to a company, I'm still learning the background and who's who and culture. I'm very careful of what I say and how I say it until I know everyone's personalities and see how they react in meetings and situations.

Not her - somehow she got to fucking REAL fast. Her boss - her MARRIED boss, while she was married.

They're both awful - but she's worse. Newly divorced, newly remarried, new employee at this company, in charge of HR - and within months, she's breaking the rules and fucking around with her boss and on her new husband. The balls on that woman. She must be really something - all 3 men she bagged were successful and attractive. And she really isn't all that.

You sound like you live in Urbana, Illinois and have worked for companies with fewer than 100 employees your whole career, R289.

This shit happens ALL THE TIME in corporate America.

This whole thing is so stupid because they could have just played the whole thing like two colleagues having an innappropriate but ultimately harmless moment. It only became salacious when they made it apparent to the whole world that they actually have something to hide. They are both complete idiots for reacting the way that they did.

R290 what? No - I've worked primarily for multi-billion dollar companies with thousands of employees - although I have worked at 2 places with about 400 employees recently.

And no - the head of HR fucking the CEO does NOT happen all the time. Office romances, yes - typically among single people.

But for the married head of HR to be fucking the married CEO within a year? C'mon - it does NOT happen all the time - otherwise people wouldn't be reacting to it the way they are.

According to the Reddit thread asking the Astronomer employees about the incident, Andy the ex CEO is an asshole:

Mordecus: " Fortunately they can’t silent former employees and coworkers about what a giant piece of shit Andy is. Easily the worst CEO I ever worked for. Every company he’s been at he’s wrecked and turned the culture to shit."d

R285 if she was CFO or CIO, firstly she would usually be a he, and secondly most other people would just be surprised that the geek was getting laid at all.

[quote]blames the woman, not the man...it takes two to tango

Except for the fact her job in HR was literally to prevent situations like this with ZERO tolerance had it been any other employee. Even the most cynical among us know the job of HR is NOT to protect the employees, it's to protect the company at all costs. She failed at that. And she lit the fire.

Absolutely R295. But ultimately the blame rests with her boss, who - oh, hang on, is the guy she's been fucking.

I'm hoping for a tsunami of wrongful dismissal law suits from people who have been "let go" under her watch. Hypocritical cunt.

And the CEO sounds like a real winner, saying that he didn't know that she was married. So he's already kicked her to the kerb. Class act.

[quote]Except for the fact her job in HR was literally to prevent situations like this with ZERO tolerance had it been any other employee.

Is it though? I have never worked for a company that had any sort of anti-fraternization rule. And really, what is the big fucking deal? This is no one's business.

Such rules are st as madre in corporate America.

You must see why it's a problem that the CEO was screwing one of his direct reports.

It’s entirely possible her boss pressured her into the affair.

Since she won’t work in her field again, she might go for a big final payout via a lawsuit. Followed by the heartrending memoir “The Passions and Persecution of a People Person.”

[quote] Just saw a report that says the CEO Andy didn't KNOW she was married.

Okay, then he can be forgiven. But it’s just so typical of her to lie like that just to worm her way into his good graces. Typical gold digger. He shouldn’t have been so trusting. And maybe ask next time instead of just assuming she’s single.

Some new ones

R255 Right? I’m sort of impressed he was cheating with a 50+ side piece. Score one for the post-menopausal crowd.

Her career is hopefully over as HR. Her next predictable move after playing victim and tying to sue the company will be her new career in Realtor.

Both job choices attract whores with very little education and values. At least with selling houses she can F-ing the husband with a dad bod to get that 70's ranch style house sold is a common industry standard.

I love to see misbehaving powerful people taken down and hypocrisy exposed, but — I've had sufficient of this.

It's taking on a Puritan/Salem Witch Trials vibe that's kind of gross.

Were the rich dude and his company infamously pro-monogamy? Were they fundamentalist Christians who preached strict Bible teachings?

Where is the hypocrisy that deserves this kind of global viral scorn?

Maybe he and his wife — and she and her husband — had an arrangement. Maybe they were polyamorous. Maybe they all nailed each other in private. These situations among hets are more common than you'd think.

Maybe they didn't. So what? And here we are, getting off on their humiliation like sexless gossiping biddies at the church social.

NO, NO, and NO.

His religion is irrelevant, his company set the standards which included setting a leadership example which he obviously violated according to his own admission.

His wife did not have an "arrangement" which is why she has taken down her social media and anything related to his name. She's obtained a lawyer and probably filing for divorce as we speak.

This has nothing to do with what they do in private. When the boss is f-ink the director of HR, it makes it very difficult for other employees to get a fair chance at lodging a complaint about the boss or the company. You dont see the Hypocrisy of HR with this?

How very odd. R313 was expressing a "live and let live" perspective towards sex usually and wholeheartedly accepted by DL (except in conditions such as this with conflict if interest in the workplace, of course). And r315 comes in all huffy maiden aunt to tell r313 to fuck off to Good Housekeeping? What the hell happened to Datalounge?

If she was married several times to wealthy men, she would be set up and not need to work, no?

[quote] [R313] was expressing a "live and let live" perspective towards sex usually and wholeheartedly accepted by DL

It’s okay for those unencumbered by a marriage vow. Also, there’s the obvious exception for married straight men to have sex with men.

[quote]R323 If she was married several times to wealthy men, she would be set up and not need to work, no?

She is an adventuress.

For people saying they've never worked at a company with a fraternnization rule - I find that very odd. It's VERY common - and if you are dating long term, I've seen that it needs to be reported to HR to make sure there is no overlap or issues with mgmt/employee relationships.

As far as two married people - that's a breach of ethical behavior and rules.

I guess we'll find out today if she has a meeting on her calendar "Meeting with HR" and one of her employees has to fire her and giver her a compensation package.

Why can’t she be frogmarched through the streets ? ?

Better yet, have her wear a scarlet A on her blouse.

She’s busy eating apples through fences

I hope she's not getting paid during this. I would be pissed if I was one of the investors. HR ladies are a dime a dozen. Just replace her, it's not like there is any shortage.

Corporate offices are ALL about hooking up with one’s boss or underling, & we all know it.

People who are in unhappy marriages go to work everyday, hoping to have some private time with their affair partner.

I’m not stating that I agree with cheating, because I don’t

That stated, this has been completely overblown.

BOTH of them should have been able to take some time off, reassess their personal relationships, make some tough decisions, & go back to work.

This would have been quite a different ‘scandal’, had it happened in France, for example.

^ = an office slut

R342, the French would not make a fuss about cheating. French men are notorious for enjoying mistresses on the side.

A fFrench man caught cheating on a Jumbotron wouldn’t have hidden. He would have owned it.

The new interim CEO of Astronomer released a statement addressing the drama surrounding the viral Coldplay concert kiss cam, which resulted in Andy Byron's resignation.

"Over the weekend, I stepped into the role of Interim CEO at Astronomer, a company that I’ve proudly poured my entire professional life into helping build," Pete DeJoy wrote in a statement shared by the company on Monday, July 21.

"Over the past few years, our business has experienced incredible growth. What was once a mission to help companies with Apache Airflow has turned into so much more," he continued, before going on to address the viral spotlight the company found themselves under over the past week.

"The events of the past few days have received a level of media attention that few companies—let alone startups in our small corner of the data and AI world—ever encounter," he continued without going into additional specifics. "The spotlight has been unusual and surreal for our team and, while I would never have wished for it to happen like this, Astronomer is now a household name."

In his new statement, titled "Moving Forward at Astronomer," DeJoy stressed that the company has "never shied away from challenges."

"From starting a software company in Cincinnati, Ohio, to keeping the lights on through the collapse of the bank that held all our cash, to scaling from 30 to 300 people during a global pandemic that demanded we do it all without ever being in the same room. And yet, we’re still here," he wrote.

"I’m stepping into this role with a wholehearted commitment to taking care of our people and delivering for our customers. Astronomer’s foundation remains strong, built around the thriving Apache Airflow community. Our opportunity to build a DataOps platform for the age of AI remains massive. And our story is very much still being written," he continued. "To our team: thank you for your resilience & commitment to building something great. And to our community and customers: thank you for your trust. We won’t let you down."

"Astronomer is now a household name."

I feel like their PR team could have word-smithed this a bit better so it didn't sound so crass and gross.

[quote] a company that I’ve proudly poured my entire professional life into helping build,

So he’s never worked at another company before?

[quote] to keeping the lights on through the collapse of the bank that held all our cash

Talk about incompetence.

R350 - yeah, this is a really poorly worded press release all around.

Despite all the balls in the air that I'm juggling, I'll make room for one more HR meeting to fire this person.

No need to thank me - I'll leave on a high....note. It's my pleasure.

The statement is also at least twice as long as it needs to be.

Maybe HR lady wrote it.

They clearly didn’t have any PR firm when this broke, and stupidly did not engage a crisis firm to clean up the aftermath. They are not earning back the confidence of current and future investors. I am sure the investors they do have are looking for ways to get out.

Horny CEO resigned. What about the slutty HR cunt?

[quote] Experts Reveal If Astronomer CEO Can Sue Coldplay Amid Resignation As HR 'Mistress' Keeps Her Job

Days after Andy Byron resigned from his role as Astronomer CEO, lawyers have now weighed in on whether he could bring claims against Coldplay.

The attorneys have now claimed that Andy Byron has no legal grounds for a lawsuit against the band while also citing reasons why such a step is unlikely.

Despite Andy Byron's life being upended by his kiss cam incident at Coldplay's concert, legal experts have claimed that he can't take the legal path even if he wants to.

Ron Zambrano of the Los Angeles-based West Coast Employment Lawyers told The U.S. Mirror that "any legal claims from Byron would be dead on arrival."

He pointed out that the former CEO has "no grounds to sue," as any legal claim would likely be dismissed as a "restriction on creative speech and Coldplay's ability to be artistic during their performances."

The attorney further emphasized that both Byron and his company's Head of HR, Kristin Cabot, voluntarily attended the public concert.

As a result, being filmed while cosying up to each other did not constitute a legal violation, since they had effectively "waived their right to privacy" by being in a public setting.

"Their public display of affection is on them, not on Coldplay," he added. "They just got caught."

Civil and entertainment lawyer Tre Lovell also echoed Zambrano's sentiments, with particular mention of Byron having no right to privacy when in public.

"CEO Andy Byron has no legal recourse against Coldplay for putting him on the big screen," he told the outlet. "When you are out in public, you have no right to privacy for your actions."

Lovell added that anyone can be filmed or photographed in public without it breaking any laws. He then explained that legal recourse would only be possible if such footage were used for commercial purposes or to spread a false or defamatory narrative.

"What people cannot do is use the video or photographs to violate your right to publicity in terms of using your image for commercial purposes or defame you and depict you in a manner that is false or untruthful."

Lovell added, "The fact that the big screen caught the CEO doing something embarrassing or immoral in public is on him."

In the wake of the kiss cam incident, Astronomer released a statement revealing that Byron had resigned from his position as CEO.

"Andy Byron has tendered his resignation, and the Board of Directors has accepted," they added.

At the time, reports suggested that Byron negotiated an exit deal before stepping down, though the specifics remain unclear.

Sources claimed the board had the option to fire him but chose not to, likely out of respect for his role as a co-founder of the company.

They added that Byron's resignation was a smart financial move, as it ensured he wouldn't walk away empty-handed if he had fought to keep his role.

Unlike Byron, who is now no longer associated with Astronomer in an official capacity, Cabot, with whom he was caught at the concert, still remains a staff member.

She is currently on leave, likely until the controversy settles down or the company makes a final decision.

According to attorney Nicole Brenecki, terminating Cabot's employment is difficult for a number of reasons.

"In a real-world big company, you can't just fire someone because the headlines are ugly," she told the New York Post. "There are likely contracts, internal investigations, and legal issues involved."

Despite the complications behind the scenes, attorney Brenecki believes that Cabot could still lose her job when the investigations are completed.

"If HR greenlit what happened with Coldplay, and there is a supporting paper trail, heads will likely roll," the attorney stated.

She added, "It just might take a few more days before the ax drops."

[quote] Lovell added that anyone can be filmed or photographed in public without it breaking any laws. He then explained that legal recourse would only be possible if such footage were used for commercial purposes or to spread a false or defamatory narrative.

That’s just in general. Venues and events that record people usually have legal notice on the ticket sale or at venue entry that state by entering or attending an event you agree that any video recorded of you may be used for commercial purposes. I’d be surprised if Coldplay didn’t have this legally covered since the Jumbotron is part of their performance. Also, the fact that they were having an affair is certainly not false.

I’m surprised he chose an age appropriate affair partner.

Many in his shoes would have been caught with a 19 year old chick.

Cheating, shmeating. My question is why does Chris Martin look like he is styled by JoJo Siwa?

[quote]R358 "If HR greenlit what happened with Coldplay, and there is a supporting paper trail, heads will likely roll," the attorney stated.

Huh? What does this mean? How would HR (do they mean Ms. Cabot?) “greenlight” what happened?

Wait did that cheating bitch keep her job?

^^ investigation ongoing

Taylor Lorenz released a video on this topic, I thought it was interesting. I do love the drama, but this panopticon like society we’re entering is scary.

[quote] Wait did that cheating bitch keep her job?

Yes.

Cunts with a cunt always get a pass.

Because they have a cunt.

They demand equal treatment, and INSIST they are equal to men.

But when the shit hits the fan, they are pure, and innocent, and weak. And they always ask for special treatment. Because they have a CUNT.

Dumb fucking CUNTS!!!

She has her job as of TODAY, but has been placed on leave. She’s not allowed in the office.

Upper Management is weighing its options.

The jumbotron is another reason to avoid concerts and big events.

WTF enjoys being filmed and shown on a massive screen in front for tens of thousands of people, even if you're just minding your own business?

[quote]"In a real-world big company, you can't just fire someone because the headlines are ugly," she told the New York Post. "There are likely contracts, internal investigations, and legal issues involved."

Not to mention the fact that she knows where each and every body is buried.

Maybe they *don't* fire her, and simply expect her to come back into the office once she's burned through her leave hours, so she can experience what it's like to walk into every meeting with the entire firm glaring, snickering, and eye-rolling at anything she says or does. People who *don't* screw their boss get "quiet-fired" (especially during restructurings, or if mgmt just wants to lean on certain people so they fire themselves and spare them the hassle/liabilities of termination)

To be irrelevant--sexually, professionally, socially--is hell to a woman like her. Give her all three.

"Gosh, Kristin, you're leaving to pursue other opportunities? I know the whole team joins me in wishing you the best of luck in your future endeavors. Feel free to reach out on LinkedIn"

Will there be cake?

[quote] HR Exec Who Was Seen Wrapped in CEO's Arms in Viral Coldplay Video Remains in Role as Company Moves Forward

While Astronomer CEO Andy Byron resigned over the weekend after he was seen wrapping his arms around one of his female executives at a concert, she appears to still be with the company as new leadership is vowing to move forward.

Kristin Cabot, Astronomer’s chief people officer, was caught in the now-infamous clip with Byron in the audience at a Coldplay show in Massachusetts last week.

Both Byron and Cabot are reportedly married; neither has spoken publicly about the nature of their relationship.

As of Wednesday, July 23, Cabot is still listed on the company website in her role as chief people officer, though Byron has been removed. (Efforts to reach her for comment have been unsuccessful.)

An Astronomer spokesman previously said that "no other employees were in the video."

In a press release in November announcing Cabot’s hiring at Astronomer, Byron was quoted as saying her “exceptional leadership and deep expertise in talent management, employee engagement, and scaling people strategies will be critical as we continue our rapid trajectory. She is a proven leader.”

In a statement after Byron stepped down titled "Moving Forward at Astronomer," his replacement, Pete DeJoy, acknowledged that “the events of the past few days have received a level of media attention that few companies—let alone startups in our small corner of the data and AI world—ever encounter."

All of the attention had been “unusual and surreal for our team,” DeJoy said, “and, while I would never have wished for it to happen like this, Astronomer is now a household name."

[quote]r372 Efforts to reach her for comment have been unsuccessful.

Lame. In the old days, journalists would camp out on someone’s doorstep until there was a sighting.

Follow him to work.

[quote] Privateer Rum CEO Andrew Cabot was on overseas work trip when his wife was embroiled in Coldplay ‘kiss cam’ scandal

Privateer Rum CEO Andrew Cabot was on an overseas business trip when his wife, Kristin Cabot, was caught canoodling at a Coldplay concert — and the couple’s relatives were likewise blindsided by the scandal, a source close to the situation told The Post.

The tipster said Andrew Cabot, founder of the Massachusetts-based, high-end liquor maker, had been on a work-related trip to Japan and returned to find himself and his family in the middle of a social media firestorm.

[Andrew] was in Asia for a few weeks and returned on Saturday, so he was gone while all this went down,” said the source, who requested anonymity to discuss the situation. “Poor guy.”

Multiple attempts to contact Andrew Cabot and Privateer Rum went unanswered. When The Post called Privateer Rum, the company’s voicemail box was full.

Kristin and Andrew Cabot married sometime after her previous divorce was finalized in 2022. The source said there had been little indication of any trouble in paradise before the Coldplay concert video went viral.

“The family is now saying they have been having marriage troubles for several months and were discussing separating — which I find interesting since as of a month ago they were saying how in love they are,” the source added.

The Post was first to report that Kristin Cabot, whose maiden name in Stanek, was married to Andrew Cabot and that the pair had purchased a $2.2 million mansion in Rye, New Hampshire, just five months before the scandal broke out.

The Cabots were seen smiling and wearing wedding rings alongside two young kids in a Facebook post from May 2024.

Andrew Cabot is a member of one of the oldest and wealthiest families in Boston. The Cabots are one of the original “Boston Brahmin” clans that controlled New England for centuries.

A bio on Privateer’s website says his “ancestor, the original Andrew Cabot (1750-1791), was a merchant, rum distiller and successful American privateer during the American Revolution.”

The brand — whose high-end bottles can retail for upward of $100 each — touts its strict use of authentic ingredients and “Made in the USA” pedigree.

“One thing is certain,” one ad advises. “Privateer advocates transparency, honesty and purity.”

Kristin Cabot’s now-deleted LinkedIn account showed that she has served as an “advisory board member” at Privateer Rum since September 2020.

Imagine being on a work trip, and coming home to this shit show.

I agree. "Poor guy."

And yet, if he hadn’t traveled so much, his neglected wife wouldn’t have sought out affections elsewheres.

Tell that to the millions of husbands and wives whose spouses travel for work, and STILL REMAIN FAITHFUL, and never cheat.

You dumb, enabling cunt at R378.

You're either a cheating whore, or you aren't.

So if she returns will she get a talking to about sexual harassment from the Temp HR?

I don't think that will be a problem, r380.

He better not have to pay her a cent in the divorce settlement.

“Their fateful embrace.”

[QUOTE]The Post was first to report..

Pride in sleazeiness journalism.

Ha, Ha, that bitch probably thought she was going from one CEO to another CEO with a divorce parachute. That video of her cheating is a big tear in her chute. I hope she gets nothing and I hope the CEO she was cheating with drops her like a dirty tissue.

What are the odds they marry

If she's that stupid, imagine all the bad advice and lack of ethics she dolled out as HR manager.

Days after tech tech startup Astronomer announced the resignation of its married chief executive, Andy Byron, who was seen in a viral video with the head of human resources, Kristin Cabot, at the band’s performance at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Mass., the firm confirmed Thursday that Cabot is no longer employed by the company.

“Kristin Cabot is no longer with Astronomer,” a company spokesperson said in a statement. “She has resigned.”
