Kristin Cabot Seen Publicly for First Time Since Viral Kiss Cam Controversy
Kristin Cabot, former executive at Astronomer, was recently photographed outside her New Hampshire home for the first time since a viral concert video connected her to ex-CEO Andy Byron. The clip, taken during a Coldplay concert’s kiss cam, showed the two sharing an intimate moment, fueling rumors and controversy. At the time, both were married to other people and later resigned from their positions.
In the new photos, Cabot was spotted tending to her garden, noticeably without her wedding ring, reigniting public interest in her personal life. Records confirm she and her husband, Andrew Cabot, bought their current home earlier this year. The couple has no children together but each has kids from prior relationships.
Since leaving her role as Chief People Officer, Cabot has stayed out of the public eye. The viral video, which included Chris Martin’s amused reaction, quickly spread online, leading to the identification of both executives and scrutiny of their personal lives.
Public opinion has been divided—some condemning the pair, while others urge understanding. Regardless, the fallout has significantly impacted their careers and reputations.
Before the scandal, Cabot was respected in the tech industry for her people-focused leadership. She had held top HR roles at companies like Neo4j and was enthusiastic about her work at Astronomer.
As the spotlight dims, Cabot’s next steps remain unclear. However, the incident highlights how easily private moments can spiral into public scandals in today’s digital world.
Ultimately, the situation serves as a cautionary tale about the blurred lines between personal and professional lives—and the lasting consequences when those boundaries are crossed.
