On Thursday, a spokesperson for the Astronomer confirmed Cabot's exit from the tech firm. On July 18, Astromer had announced that they had launched a formal investigation into the matter that quickly went viral on social media. Byron and Cabot, at the heart of the situation, were placed on leave.

Astronomer’s CEO and HR chief have now both resigned after they were caught on camera together in an intimate moment at a recent Coldplay concert.
