Coldplay 'Kiss Cam' Scandal: Kristin Cabot Opens Up on Devastating Reactions from Her Kids

In a candid interview with the New York Times, Kristin Cabot, a former HR executive, shared her harrowing experience with the Coldplay 'kiss cam' scandal. The incident, which took place at a concert at Gillette Stadium in Boston, involved Cabot embracing her then-boss Andy Byron on the big screen. The band's lead singer, Chris Martin, jokingly speculated that the duo might be having an affair or were shy, but the reality was far from it. Cabot, who has spoken out for the first time since the scandal, revealed that her kids were severely affected by the incident. They were already struggling with the aftermath, and when she started receiving death threats, they became terrified. One day, while Cabot was playing one of the threatening messages to her mother over the phone, her children overheard it. This traumatic experience sent them spiraling, and they became afraid that they would lose their mother. The family soon found it difficult to go outside, with Cabot's daughter even breaking down in tears at the town pool when a woman started taking pictures of them. The situation became so dire that Cabot's children had to visit therapists to cope with their emotions. However, with time, things have started to improve, and the kids have returned to school. They are now being treated with kindness, and Cabot has also started leaving the house more often. Cabot has also spoken about her then-husband, Andrew, who issued a statement defending her during the scandal. She described him as a 'gentleman' and thanked him for his support. However, the couple later filed for divorce. The 'kiss cam' scandal, which took place in 2016, involved the band using a camera to interact with the audience during a concert. The camera zoomed in on Cabot and Byron, who were embracing each other, leading to the humorous speculation from Chris Martin. However, the reality was far from funny, and Cabot's family paid a heavy price for the incident.
