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 human resources director 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 being placed 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 now have families of their own, has spawned countless memes, parodies 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 up to cover 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.

Both profiles have now been removed from Astronomer's website (a billion-dollar revenue technology company based in New York, USA, known for its data management and coordination) and the November press release announcing Kristin Cabot's hiring has also been removed.

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