Astronomer CEO Andy Byron, caught up in his infamous "kiss cam" scandal at a Coldplay concert earlier this week, resigned on Saturday, the company announced.
This comes just days after Byron, a married man, was caught on a "kiss cam" while attending a Coldplay concert with the company's head of HR, Kristin Cabot.
This story has taken so many twists and turns it's getting hard to keep track of all the gossip, but the CEO officially resigned on Saturday, per a statement released by the Astronomer to Fox News.
"As stated previously, Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding," the company wrote. "Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met."
The statement went on to say that Astronomer's board of directors accepted Byron's resignation.
After the initial barrage of bad PR, Byron was mired in even more controversy when a fake apology started circulating online.
After presumably losing his wife, his kids, half his money, and all of his dignity, Byron decided he should probably quit his job, too, just to put the cherry on top of the turd sundae he'd been whipping up this week.
The internet has delivered some incredibly tasty memes at this dude's expense, and while I hate to see a marriage evaporate in real time, the laughs we have shared as a society have almost been worth it.
So, now that Byron is no longer the CEO of Astronomer, what's next for the star-crossed Coldplay fan?
Well, divorce court, more than likely, but after that, who can say?
Maybe he could go on a Jordan Belfort-type redemption tour, where he speaks at symposiums to other CEOs and high-ranking businessmen, explaining the perils of cheating and the steps you should take to not completely tank your life in a matter of hours.
"Gentlemen, I was once like you, and if I could give you one piece of advice, take her to a Megadeth concert. There aren't any kiss cams there."
Mark my words, this man's stupid mug will resurface some time down the road.
And, if nothing else, he's going to make one hell of a LinkedIn post about what this taught him with regard to B2B sales.
