She said: 'There was a big miss on honesty and integrity... He wasn't the person he represented himself to be to me. And lying is a non-negotiable for me.'He missed the mark on being as honest as he could have been with me.'The moment from the concert in July 2025, went viral after the couple was caught cuddling on the kiss cam.They quickly covered their faces and tried to dash out of view. The fallout ultimately led to both resigning from their jobs. Kristin Cabot opened up about her relationship with her former boss, ex-Astronomer CEO Andy Byron, in an interview on The Oprah Podcast Cabot found herself at the center of a media circus after she was seen cozying up with Byron at a Coldplay concert in Boston At the time, Coldplay front man Chris Martin told the crowd: 'Oh, look at these two! Oh, what? Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy.'However, the former executive says she would have reacted in a similar manner in any environment. She said: 'I whipped around. If we were at a Celtics game and we got put on the jumbotron, I'm going to whip around.'I'm not a jumbotron girl even on my best days. It's not my thing. So I would have probably done some version of that, but in that moment, I was just horrified.'Cabot added in the interview aired Tuesday that she felt like she was left bearing the brunt of the criticism alone after the incident went viral.'I was left holding the bag - and I don't, you know, being the one that was attacked for this and he's [Byron] remained silent, to me, that's not a quality that I would look for in a friend or a partner or a boss,' she said, 'So we have no relationship now.' In a previous interview with the Times, the former executive said she received death threats after the incident.She was also reportedly shunned by friends and colleagues and said she lives with the scandal 'every day.' Cabot appeared on The Oprah Podcast ahead of another speaking gig where she will deliver a keynote speech at an $875-a-ticket PR conference.In the interview, Cabot insisted her estranged husband Andrew would not have been surprised if he saw her at the concert with her boss.She also told Winfrey how she received a message from her daughter as she walked into Gillette Stadium informing her that Andrew was also at the concert.'And in my mind, I thought well that's - is this going to be weird if he sees me with Andy [Byron]? Like... if I run into him,' Cabot recounted.'But then I was like, 'I'm in Gillette Stadium, there's 55,000 people here, I'm probably not going to run into him.''In retrospect, Cabot said it 'would've been better at the end of the day, if I had just run into him.' She insisted in the interview that her estranged husband, Andrew, would not have been surprised to see her with her boss at the concertStill, she maintained that Andrew would not have been surprised to see her with Byron.'He [my ex] knows how closely Andy and I worked together, he knows we socialized - like got lunches and got drinks. It was fine,' Cabot said, noting that she and Andrew were already separated at the time of the scandal.'He knows the nature of my work and the way the relationships - I've shared desks with CEOs I've worked with, like it's just a very close relationship. And so it didn't matter.'But Andrew was said to have been 'blindsided' by the media frenzy that ensued, which included finding reporters outside the $2.2 million waterfront home in Rye, New Hampshire, that he shared with his wife and his two children.He felt compelled to confirm to People that he and Cabot were already 'privately and amicably separated several weeks before the Coldplay concert.''Their decision to divorce was already underway prior to that evening,' a spokesperson for Andrew, who is the CEO of Privateer Rum, told the outlet.After the concert, Byron was seen in public with his wife, both wearing their wedding rings, and Cabot claims he has had no issues finding new employment.Meanwhile, Cabot has struggled to find a job, and says she was treated differently than Byron following the incident.'I own the poor decision that I made in that moment, and I've paid an unimaginable price for that,' she said on the podcast.'I think he has the luxury of staying silent, and he can go back to work when he's ready. I don't. I feel - I have to remind myself I'm not on trial, but I have to, in order for me to get back on my feet, I have to come out and explain,' she said. 'And I think that's a stark difference between the man and the woman in this situation. I have to explain and explain and justify.'
