Consequences of the hug with the CEO spread online: It's the turn of the HR Director of Astronomer Company to resign

Astronomer confirmed on July 26 that its chief human resources officer had left. Spokesperson Taylor Jones said in a brief statement: "Kristin Cabot is no longer with Astronomer; she has resigned."

Kristin Cabot's departure comes after CEO Andy Byron resigned, with the company saying he was on leave pending an investigation.

Cabot and Byron were caught off guard when singer Chris Martin asked the camera to scan the crowd for his song "Jumbotron Song" during a concert last week at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts. Kisscam footage of the pair (who both have families of their own) has spawned countless memes, parody videos and screenshots of the couple's shocked faces flooding social media.

They were cuddling and smiling but when they saw themselves on the big screen, Cabot put his hands over his face and turned away from the camera, while Byron ducked out of frame.

When the video first went viral, it was unclear who they were, but online sleuths quickly figured out their identities. The company previously confirmed the pair’s identities in a statement to the AP.

Profiles for both have now been removed from Astronomer's website, and a November press release announcing Kristin Cabot's hiring has also been removed.

According to Luminate, an industry data and analytics firm, streaming of Coldplay's songs increased by 20% after the video went viral.
