Lawyers explain whether CEO could sue Coldplay after being caught with colleague on jumbotron
There has been speculation that former Astronomer CEO Andy Byron may look into suing Coldplay.
Byron has been the center of a huge scandal in recent days after he was spotted with his arms wrapped around employee Kristen Cabot by a jumbotron at Coldplay’s concert in Massachusetts on Wednesday (July 16).
A huge storm has since followed the pair after a video of their brief and rather awkward interaction, with the band’s frontman went viral on TikTok, sparking Byron to resign from his position as CEO.
The tech firm announced on social media: “As stated previously, 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, and recently, that standard was not met.”
