A tech company whose boss was filmed hugging a colleague at a Coldplay concert has said a purported statement from him expressing remorse is fake.

Internet sleuths identified the pair at the Boston concert as Andy Byron, CEO of tech company Astronomer, and Kristin Cabot, the company's Chief People Officer. Byron was already CEO when Cabot was hired to the board in November 2024.

So far, none of those investors have commented on the uproar over the viral video showing Byron and Astronomer’s HR chief Kristin Cabot scrambling to get off camera.
