Astronomer CEO, Andy Byron, and HR head, Kristin Cabot, found themselves in rough waters after they were caught snuggling with each other at a Colplay concert in Boston on July 16, 2025. The duo, hiding their faces from the camera, sent the internet into a frenzy about their alleged affair. However, months after the incident, Kristin Cabot sat down for a candid conversation with Oprah and reflected on what had gone down behind the scenes following the video’s viral spread.

Kristin Cabot was unhappy with the comments made by Ryan Reynolds and Gwyneth Paltrow. The former HR head revealed that when the stars decided to make a tongue-in-cheek ad weighing in on the Coldplay “kiss cam” controversy that derailed her life, it felt rather unnecessary. In an interview with Oprah Winfrey on March 17, 2026 (ET), Kristin looked back at the incident at a concert last summer, in which she was caught on camera in the arms of her then-boss, Andy Byron. She was quoted as saying:
“It just felt really hypocritical to me and unnecessary.”
