Coldplay ‘Kiss Cam’ Woman Speaks Out, Accuses Former Boss Of Lying
Kristin Cabot is speaking publicly about her former boss, Andy Byron, months after a viral moment at a Coldplay concert sparked major controversy.
During the show, the two appeared on the venue’s “kiss cam,” briefly embracing before trying to move out of view. From the stage, Chris Martin joked that they might be having an affair, which intensified attention as the clip spread online.
The short moment had lasting consequences. Cabot later described facing heavy criticism, public scrutiny, and even threats, all of which impacted her personal life and career.
At the time, she was head of human relations at Astronomer, where Byron served as CEO. Both eventually left their roles following the incident.
In a recent interview with Oprah Winfrey on The Oprah Podcast, Cabot said she ended communication with Byron last fall, making a clear break from the relationship.
She explained that honesty had been an issue, saying he was not who he claimed to be, though she declined to give further details. Cabot added she wanted to avoid exposing others, noting how difficult public scrutiny can be.
Reflecting on the aftermath, she said she accepts her mistake but feels the backlash was overwhelming, especially as her appearance and actions were heavily criticized compared to Byron’s.
