Kristin Cabot Breaks Silence on Viral ColdplayKiss Cam,’ Says She Cut Ties With Ex-CEO Over Dishonesty

Her remarks signal an effort to reclaim her story through a planned April crisis-management talk.

Overview

  • Speaking on an Oprah Winfrey podcast released this week, the former Astronomer HR director says she severed contact with ex-CEO Andy Byron last autumn over what she calls a grave breach of honesty and integrity.
  • She maintains the Coldplay concert was their first outing, denies any intimate relationship, and says she believed Byron was separated as she was from her husband.
  • Cabot says she endured thousands of insults and death threats and lost her HR role, describing the consequences as an “unimaginable price.”
  • She faults Byron for staying silent as the video spread and says she plans to reclaim her narrative, including a crisis‑management appearance in April.
  • The July 2025 kiss‑cam clip showing Byron embracing Cabot went viral, after which Astronomer issued a statement and announced Byron’s resignation; both were senior leaders and married to other people at the time.
