Coldplay Kiss-Cam Executive Speaks Out, Says Viral Fallout Has Left Her 'Unemployable'

In her first extended interview, the former Astronomer HR chief describes severe harassment with lasting career damage.

Overview

  • Kristin Cabot says recruiters have told her she is “unemployable” as she searches for work following the July incident.
  • The Gillette Stadium kiss-cam clip drew more than 100 million views within days, and Cabot reports doxxing, hundreds of harassing calls, paparazzi attention, and death threats.
  • Astronomer opened an internal review after the video; CEO Andy Byron stepped down, and though the board invited Cabot to return, she declined and negotiated her resignation announced July 24.
  • Cabot maintains the concert was their first and only kiss and says both she and Byron were separated from their spouses at the time.
  • She says contact with Byron has been minimal since a September meeting and criticizes the company’s response, including a Gwyneth Paltrow ad she found humiliating.
