The viral "kiss-cam" scandal at a Coldplay concert. ARCHIVE

What began as a viral “kiss-cam” scandal at a Coldplay concert has spiraled into a storm of accusations, harassment, and shocking revelations. Kristin Cabot, head of HR at Astronomer, was caught on the stadium’s big screen embracing her boss, Andy Byron, during the show. The footage triggered a firestorm online, with Kristin branded a “homewrecker” and vilified across social media. But according to People magazine, the viral clip told only part of the story. Insiders revealed that Kristin’s husband, Andrew Cabot — thought to have been blindsided — was at the same concert with a date of his own. The couple, sources said, had already been living apart before the incident. While the insider acknowledged the moment was “inappropriate,” they blasted the backlash as disproportionate. Kristin has allegedly received more than 900 death threats in three days, and strangers have harassed her in public — even while she was with her son. “She’s been inappropriately mislabeled as a homewrecker,” the source told People. “It’s unfathomable to witness what has happened, and how devastating it can be for not just individuals, but entire families.” Neither Kristin nor Byron have commented publicly, but sources say she is now focusing on her children and avoiding public life.
