Coldplay Kiss Cam Scandal: Ex-HR Exec Kristin Cabot Breaks Silence, Career Over

• Kristin Cabot, former Astronomer HR executive, spoke out about the viral Coldplay kiss cam incident with her then-boss, CEO Andy Byron.
• Cabot described the 16-second public display of affection as a "bad decision" fueled by "a couple of High Noons" and a "big happy crush."
• The incident, which quickly went viral, has left the 53-year-old mother of two "unemployable" and ended her career, she claims.
• She pushed back against the backlash, stating the reaction far exceeded the incident, and that both she and Byron were amicably separated from their spouses.
• Cabot expressed immediate fear for her soon-to-be ex-husband and later realized the professional implications, calling it "a bad look."
