BREAKING THE SILENCE: “I’m not lying, I’m here to denounce, they fired and fired employees for completely unreasonable reasons just because that person exposed their disgusting work

In a development that has rocked both Silicon Valley and the national media, political firebrand Karoline Leavitt has come forward with damning allegations against the tech company Astronomer. Her revelations follow the explosive live exposure of an affair between Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and subordinate employee Kristin Cabot — a scandal that has already sparked outrage and corporate fallout. But according to Leavitt, the scandal was just the surface of a much darker truth.

Speaking at a press conference streamed across major networks, Leavitt declared, “I’m not lying. I’m here to denounce. They fired and fired employees for completely unreasonable reasons just because that person exposed their disgusting work.” Her voice trembled with anger as she revealed she had obtained confidential memos, internal messages, and exit testimonies from former employees. Many of them had been terminated without cause—simply for speaking up.

The company, once celebrated for its innovation in AI and data infrastructure, is now under scrutiny for what Leavitt calls a “culture of intimidation and moral rot.” The whistleblower documents she shared suggest a consistent pattern of silencing dissenters, covering up misconduct, and retaliating against those who challenged leadership. Among the most chilling revelations were secret NDAs and cash settlements exchanged behind closed doors.

One testimony, allegedly from a former software engineer, described how she was escorted out of the building hours after voicing concern over unethical data collection practices. Another former employee, who requested anonymity, claims he was threatened with legal action after he recorded a boardroom conversation discussing employee surveillance. Leavitt emphasized that these are not isolated incidents, but rather part of an organized system of coercion.

The situation escalated when Leavitt published over 300 internal documents to a secure public archive, including Slack messages, emails, and redacted HR reports. The most damning piece: a message from CEO Andy Byron himself, joking about “throwing another one to legal” whenever an employee raised ethical objections. The cavalier tone of these exchanges shocked viewers and cast Byron as a man wielding unchecked power.

Adding to the outrage, Leavitt revealed that Astronomer had long protected executives involved in workplace misconduct. She detailed how Kristin Cabot, now at the center of the affair scandal, had been promoted rapidly despite a long paper trail of complaints filed by coworkers. “It was never about merit,” said Leavitt. “It was about submission, silence, and protecting the top.”

The fallout has been swift. Several major investors have pulled out of the company within 24 hours of Leavitt’s press conference. Shareholders are demanding an independent investigation, while the company’s board of directors remains eerily silent. Social media has erupted in fury, with hashtags like #BoycottAstronomer and #JusticeForTheFired trending globally.

Despite pressure, Leavitt insists she won’t back down. “This is no longer about politics. This is about justice,” she told The New York Herald. “Astronomer isn’t just a broken company—it’s a symptom of what happens when no one holds power accountable.” Her bold stance has earned her praise from advocates of workplace reform and women’s rights.

On the legal front, sources confirm that a class-action lawsuit may be forming among fired employees. Civil rights attorneys are reportedly reviewing dozens of terminations under what they now believe to be retaliatory motives. Meanwhile, the Department of Labor has quietly initiated a preliminary review into Astronomer’s employment practices.

Public reaction has been divided—while many praise Leavitt’s courage, others accuse her of politicizing a scandal for personal gain. But the documents she provided speak volumes, and critics are struggling to refute the sheer volume of evidence. Astronomer’s reputation, once gold-plated, now lies in shambles.

As the dust settles, questions remain: How deep does the corruption go? Who else was complicit? And will accountability finally arrive at a company that, until now, operated above scrutiny? For Karoline Leavitt, the mission is clear. “If they think this ends with me speaking out,” she said, “they’re dead wrong.”

For now, Astronomer’s silence is louder than any denial. But thanks to one woman’s refusal to look the other way, the truth is finally seeing the light. The tech world is watching—and so is the nation
