Social media had plenty of hysterical reactions to an obviously fake post by an X/Twitter account posing as former Astronomer Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot.

On Wednesday night, the Gillette Stadium “kiss cam” exposed Kristin Cabot and Astronomer CEO Andy Byron having an affair during the Coldplay concert. The reactions from Cabot and Byron said it all, too:

Imagine getting caught in 4k cheating on your spouse-with your HR Chief on the kiss cam at a Coldplay concert. 😳😳😳 Andy Bryon & Kristin Cabot didn’t just risk their marriages, they turned a secret fling into a viral spectacle & a corporate scandal.

The moment was especially cringeworthy because both are married. Byron has two kids with his wife, Megan Kerrigan Byron, and Kristin is apparently married to Privateer Rum CEO Andrew Cabot.

Somebody created an X account where they posed as Kristin Cabot. The user wrote, “Please stop 🙏,” in a tweet that has quickly gone viral:

As you would expect, social media had a plethora of hysterical reactions to the post:
“Sometimes bad things happen to good people. Learn from this and move on,” a user wrote.

“Perhaps it’s you who should please stop,” said another.

“Couldn’t you just rent a room,” asked a user.
