Neither Byron nor Cabot have commented publicly on the matter.

Astronomer announced on July 19 that Byron had resigned from the company in the wake of the viral moment.

\"As stated previously, Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding,\" the company said in a statement posted on LinkedIn at the time. \"Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met.\"

\"Andy Byron has tendered his resignation, and the Board of Directors has accepted,\" the statement continued. \"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. We're continuing to do what we do best: helping our customers with their toughest data and AI problems.\"

The day before Byron's resignation, Astronomer, a data company headquartered in New York, had announced that its board of directors had launched a formal investigation into the Coldplay concert incident.

\"Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding,\" the company wrote in its initial statement. \"Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability.\"
