Apart from congratulations to other-Andy (and a hearty how dare for the unearned burn on Coldplay), this is an example of how deflection and humor might come in handy. The immediate deletion is the double-click equivalent of Byron's physical drop to the ground. Conspicuous! An admission by omission!

Astronomer CEO Andy Byron has resigned from his position with the tech company following the drama surrounding the viral Coldplay concert kiss cam.

Former tech CEO Andy Byron and his company's "chief people officer" Kristin Cabot went to a Coldplay concert together, and it changed their lives forever. An untold number of memes and jokes later, and Byron has tendered his resignation. Those things are facts; their company, Astronomer, confirmed them in official statements.

The employer of a CEO reportedly seen in a viral "kiss cam" moment at a recent Coldplay concert says it is launching an investigation into the incident. Astronomer, a New York City-based data company, said in a statement Friday that a "formal investigation" has been launched by its board of directors.

Tech firm Astronomer was the subject of memes and misinformation after a video allegedly of its CEO and HR chief at a Coldplay concert went viral.

Astronomer CEO Andy Bryon was placed on leave, a company spokesperson told PEOPLE. Earlier this week, a couple was caught on camera together during a Coldplay concert, prompting singer Chris Martin to joke about them having an "affair.

Chris Martin is covering his bases after he seemingly exposed an alleged affair during a Wednesday, July 16, Coldplay concert in Massachusetts. The shocking moment went viral on TikTok after the kiss-cam turned toward a cozy couple engaged in light PDA.

Trump-Hillary meme spins from Coldplay concert kiss cam moment. No affair—just internet satire doing what it does best.
