  • Cabot says the Coldplay show was the first and only time she and then‑CEO Andy Byron kissed, adding both were in separation processes at the time.
  • She reports doxxing, hundreds of calls, and death threats that frightened her children, with press intrusion and social fallout compounding the strain.
