The company has said, “Andy Byron has tendered his resignation, and the Board of Directors has accepted. The Board will begin a search for our next Chief Executive as Cofounder and Chief Product Officer Pete DeJoy continues to serve as interim CEO.”
Cabot is reportedly on a leave as the “investigation into the matter is still going on”, as per the company.
Are both Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot married?
It is pertinent to mention that Cabot is a divorcee, however, Andy is still married. After the scandal, his wife dropped her last name on her social media account.
During a Coldplay concert, a man and a woman hid from the camera after they were featured holding each other on the venue’s jumbotron.
The band has not publicly addressed all the attention the moment has gotten, but frontman Chris Martin did express his regret during the show for joking that the couple in the video might be “having an affair” when they appeared on the jumbotron.
“Either they are having an affair or they are just really shy,” the singer joked on stage, before expressing remorse over unintentionally calling them out. “I hope we did not do something bad.”
