It’s been about two months since the then CEO of Astronomer and the company’s chief public officer, Kristin Cabot, were seen together posing intimately in a Coldplay concert. As soon as the camera was pointed at the pair, they frantically separated, giving way to allegations of infidelity. Now, a source close to Kristin Cabot has spoken out regarding the situation. Read on to know more. 

Kristin Cabot’s Source Reveals ‘The Truth’ About Coldplay Kiss Cam Situation

Both Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot were seen on camera together at a Coldplay concert; the duo ducked as soon as the camera pointed towards them. They were spotted standing in each other’s embrace. 

However, a source close to Cabot revealed to PEOPLE that the viral Coldplay Kiss moment isn’t the real story. Kristin Cabot did not commit infidelity as she was already in the process of divorcing her husband before attending the concert with Andy Byron. 

The source also insisted that even though Andy Byron was married, she was not breaking up a marriage, as Kristin and Andy have an excellent working relationship. They cleared up that there was no affair.  “It was inappropriate to be hugging your boss at a concert, and she accepts full responsibility for it,” the source told PEOPLE. “But the scandal, the downfall, the loss of the job, all of that is unfair.”

About Kristin’s Family

Furthermore, Kristin Cabot’s source also discusses the devastating effect that the Coldplay kiss cam scandal has had on Kristin’s family. Kristin Cabot is a mother of two children from her first marriage, and navigating through this situation has been incredibly difficult for them.

“It’s unfathomable to witness what has happened, and how devastating it can be, for not just individuals, but entire families,” says the source. They also said it’s hard to see how people have taken a lot of enjoyment at their expense.
