Kristin Cabot was caught on camera with Andy Byron, then-CEO of AI-company Astronomer, before jumping out of his arms and ducking out of sight, prompting online rumors of an affair online. A source told The Times that the HR boss was in fact separated from her husband, Andrew Cabot, and had been living apart from him for several weeks. “He was in fact at the same Coldplay concert as Kristin,” the source told the outlet, contrary to previous reports that Cabot had been in Japan at the time of the viral incident. “She knew it was inappropriate to behave that way with her boss as the head of HR,” the source told The Times. The company responded to the incident by hiring Coldplay frontman Chris Martin’s ex-wife, Gwyneth Paltrow, for a satirical advertisement posted to its Instagram account.
