Kristin Cabot Breaks Silence on ColdplayKiss-Cam’ Fallout

Her New York Times interview details a personal toll that has pushed her children into therapy.

Overview

  • In her first extensive account, Cabot calls the stadium moment a one-time, alcohol-fueled mistake and says she accepted responsibility and gave up her career.
  • She reports roughly 50–60 death threats, doxxing and hundreds of harassing calls, describing persistent safety fears for her family.
  • Astronomer placed Cabot and CEO Andy Byron on leave and an internal review found no prior affair but leadership standards were not met, after which Byron resigned and Cabot departed.
  • Cabot says the kiss with Byron was their first and only physical contact and that the two now have little to no communication.
  • She describes disproportionate, gendered shaming online and criticizes Gwyneth Paltrow’s Astronomer ad that referenced the episode.
