Kristin Cabot has faced severe backlash after a viral video showed her kissing her boss on a 'kiss cam' at a Coldplay concert. The incident led to widespread online abuse, death threats, and even a public confrontation in a supermarket. Both she and her boss have since resigned from their jobs.
The incident began when Cabot attended the Coldplay concert with friends, including her boss, Andy Byron. The two had grown close during her divorce, and she invited him along. After a few tequila cocktails, they were caught on the stadium’s 'kiss cam'—their first and only kiss.
The video quickly spread online, sparking outrage. Strangers called Cabot derogatory names, accusing her of being a gold-digger and a cheater. One woman even approached her in a Market Basket supermarket, shouting that she didn’t deserve to breathe the same air as others. The harassment escalated to death threats, with messages revealing personal details about her shopping routines. Within days, both Cabot and Byron resigned from their roles at Astronomer, where he served as CEO. Cabot later stated she accepted responsibility for her actions, calling it the price she was willing to pay.
The fallout from the 'kiss cam' moment has left Cabot facing ongoing hostility. She and Byron have both stepped down from their positions, ending their professional ties. The incident continues to draw attention, with no signs of the public scrutiny easing.
