Astronomer HR Exec Caught With Her Boss Addresses Her ‘Bad Decision’

She revealed in a recent interview that she and Byron were not in a sexual relationship, however admitted that they made “bad decisions” the night they were caught holding each other on a jumbotron.

Kristin Cabot has since filed for divorce from her husband, while Andy Byron seems to be patching things up with his wife, as they were recently spotted together.

Cabot has broken her silence months after her life turned upside down after being caught in a compromising position with her boss at the time.

Back in  July, the former HR chief and the now-ex Astronomer CEO, Andy Byron, became viral sensations after they were seen holding each other on a kisscam. While it seemed like a normal interaction between two couples, things turned weird when the pair swiftly ducked and tried to hide from the cameras.

This led to wild speculations about their relationship, before it was revealed that the pair were married to different people and also had a professional relationship.

Reacting to the shocking moment in a chat with the New York Times, Cabot emphasized that she and Byron had never been involved sexually, and hadn’t even kissed each other until that night.

“I made a bad decision and had a couple of High Noons and danced and acted inappropriately with my boss,” she stated, stressing that “it’s not nothing.”

Cabot then shared that she believes she took accountability for her actions by giving up her “career” after the incident.

“That’s the price I chose to pay,” she noted. “I want my kids to know that you can make mistakes, and you can really screw up, but you don’t have to be threatened to be killed for them.”

Speaking more about the situation, Cabot revealed that she and Byron, her then-boss at Astronomer, “clicked, stylistically” during her interview to become a part of the company in the summer of 2024.

After being hired to join the company in November that year, she and Byron began talking regularly, sometimes even three times a day.

According to Cabot, their bond grew stronger as they were both “going through” separations, and eventually she caught “big feelings” for Byron and began fantasizing about having a proper relationship with him, but knew she couldn’t “get too carried away” due to their professional situation.

When she decided to invite Byron to the Coldplay concert in July, she had already had a “full crush” on the CEO, but she noted that the outing was casual as they were with friends at the event.

Cabot told NYT that she and Byron had a couple of tequilas and began to look like a couple as they danced, with her wrapping his arms around her. This was the moment the cameras at the concert panned to her and her then-boss in a compromising state.

Regarding that viral moment, Cabot said, “I was so embarrassed and so horrified,” adding, “I’m the head of HR, and he’s the CEO. It’s, like, so cliché and so bad.”
