New York Times, Instagram Reel Video Capture<\/span><\/p> This wasn\u2019t a glimpse into a long-running affair \u2014 according to Cabot, the relationship was only in its earliest stages. She says she and Byron had gotten along well since she joined Astronomer in November 2024, and shortly before the July concert, she told him she was in the middle of a separation from her husband.<\/p>\n Byron was reportedly navigating a similar situation, and the two bonded over that shared experience.<\/p>\n Cabot\u2019s now ex-husband confirmed that they were separated at the time of the \u201ckiss cam\u201d incident, though the viral moment ultimately contributed to their decision to divorce.<\/p>\n Cabot says that in the days following the viral moment, her life went into a kind of self-imposed witness protection and crisis management mode.<\/p>\n Her first instinct was panic \u2014 knowing her husband, who was also at the concert, would see the kiss on the big screen.<\/p>\n \u201cThen a beat later,\u201d she recalls, \u201cmy mind turns to, \u2018Oh God, Andy\u2019s my effing boss. This is a bad look.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n The two left the concert and drove about an hour back to Cabot\u2019s home, where they agreed they needed to inform their employer, Astronomer, about what had happened.<\/p>\n At 4 a.m. the next morning, her husband sent her a screenshot from TikTok showing the kiss \u2014 a moment Cabot says essentially marked the end of their marriage. She notes that her now-ex remained cordial throughout the process, and she\u2019s grateful for that.<\/p>\n The weekend after the incident, Cabot says she spiraled emotionally. She rented an Airbnb alone in the New Hampshire mountains, explaining that she was in too dark a place to show up as a parent during that time.<\/p>\n Cabot says Astronomer\u2019s board ultimately chose to let her remain in her role, but she decided it was best to step away from the company.<\/p>\n Since then, she\u2019s struggled to find new employment because of the viral incident, and she says she has even received death threats.<\/p>\n Cabot told the New York Times<\/em> she received 500 to 600 calls a day in the weeks following the concert \u2014 including 50 to 60 death threats.<\/p>\n Things became so intense that her children grew hesitant to go out in public with her, she says, as people \u2014 largely women \u2014 would heckle her when they recognized her.<\/p>\n No, not a single person reached out. Cabot said she expected to hear something from management or a band member, but instead, she says, it was complete radio silence. That lack of acknowledgment left her feeling angry at Coldplay frontman Chris Martin \u2014 and even Gwyneth Paltrow \u2014 whom Cabot felt were encouraging the moment rather than diffusing it.<\/p>\n In the end, Cabot says the incident was life-changing in the worst way. \u201cIt has been like a scarlet letter; people erased everything I\u2019d accomplished in my life and achieved in my career,\u201d she shared.<\/p>\n Read More:\u00a0<\/strong>Coldplay \u2018Kiss Cam\u2019 Fallout: CEO Quits and Luke Bryan + Morgan Wallen Are Having a Field Day<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n See country music’s best dressed from the 2025 CMA Awards.
