Social media users believed Stoddard was the red-faced woman seen grimacing as Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot ran from the jumbotron cameras at the concert.

The tech world remains shaken after Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and Human Resources head Kristin Cabot were caught on camera in a compromising embrace at a Coldplay concert this week… The post Astronomer Breaks Silence on Coldplay ‘Kiss Cam’ Scandal,

Alongside Byron and Cabot, Stoddard's name started doing the rounds as users claimed she knew of the alleged affair.

Cabot first brought her on board five months ago as head of people operations and strategy, and last week, she praised her in a glowing LinkedIn post announcing her promotion.

Internet sleuths thought the embarrassed woman caught on the Coldplay kiss cam next to Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot was Astronomer’s just-promoted VP of HR. But a company spokesperson said

DeJoy was named Astronomer’s interim CEO after Byron was placed on leave following his alleged cheating scandal.

Apart from congratulations to other-Andy (and a hearty how dare for the unearned burn on Coldplay), this is an example of how deflection and humor might come in handy. The immediate deletion is the double-click equivalent of Byron's physical drop to the ground. Conspicuous! An admission by omission!

Byron and Cadot were attending the July 16 Coldplay concert. In the middle of the show, Chris Martin introduced a Kiss Cam where the camera panned to Byron with his arms cuddling Cabot. As soon as they saw each other on the big screen, Byron abruptly tried to hide himself and dropped on the ground while Cadot was seen covering her face.
