Coldplay concert Kiss cam scandal: Where was Kristin Cabot's husband while she was with Astronomer CEO Andy Byron?
Andrew Cabot , CEO of Privateer Rum and member of Boston's elite "Brahmin" family, was thousands of miles away on a business trip in Japan when a scandal erupted back home. His wife, Kristin Cabot , was caught on camera in an intimate moment with her boss, former Astronomer CEO Andy Byron , during a Coldplay concert — a moment that quickly went viral and triggered a storm of public scrutiny. The video, widely circulated online, shows Kristin and Byron in an apparent romantic embrace, ultimately leading to Byron's resignation from Astronomer. Kristin, who also works at Astronomer, has been placed on leave pending an internal investigation. Since the video surfaced, she has remained out of the public eye.

This revelation comes just five months after the couple purchased a $2.2 million home in Rye, New Hampshire. Kristin Cabot has served on Privateer Rum's advisory board since September 2020, a time when she was reportedly still married to her previous husband, further complicating her personal timeline. Live Events The scandal has sparked widespread conversation on social media, with memes and speculation dominating online discourse. It's also raised serious questions about workplace relationships and ethical conduct, especially with both Kristin and Byron holding high-level positions at the same company. The Cabot family's long-standing legacy in New England society — tied to the historic Boston Brahmin class — adds an extra layer of public intrigue. As Kristin remains silent and Astronomer's investigation continues, the public is left piecing together the story through leaks, insider reports, and social media posts. This scandal, blending personal betrayal, corporate fallout, and social media virality, serves as a modern cautionary tale about privacy, perception, and the consequences of public behavior in the digital age.

Last Updated: The disruption occurred during a screening of the Telugu film Hari Hara Veera Mallu. A cinema hall in London was forced to halt a film screening midway on July 24 due to disruptive behaviour from audience members. The incident was caught on camera and the footage has since gone viral on social media. In the video, shared on X, two staff members from the theatre can be seen confronting a group of patrons after they were reportedly causing a disturbance. According to the video circulating online, the disruption occurred during a screening of the Telugu film Hari Hara Veera Mallu, starring Pawan Kalyan, at a Cineworld cinema. The film was paused after some individuals in the audience were seen creating a mess during the show. The movie officially premiered on Thursday, July 24, with paid previews available a day earlier. One user on social media alleged that fans of the Telugu star were throwing confetti and causing a general disturbance. 'The staff rightly stopped the film and called them out. This kind of hooliganism is unacceptable and deserves strong condemnation," the caption read. The video also showed members of the audience engaging in a verbal exchange with the cinema staff. Some argued that there were no official notices or posters stating that such behaviour was prohibited. One attendee even raised a complaint about the sound system. — Meru (@MeruBhaiya) July 24, 2025 Following the viral video, several social media users voiced their disappointment over the incident, supporting the cinema staff's actions in confronting those responsible. A number of commenters criticised the behaviour of the audience, with some calling for better civic awareness among certain cinemagoers. 'Sad but Indian really need some decorum classes for living in the UK.. just pathetic behaviour all over," one user commented. Another wrote, 'At least they could have said sorry…. That would have been more graceful than trying to argue it out." This is not the first time such an event has disrupted a screening in London. In April 2024, a showing of Tamil actor Vijay's film Ghilli was also paused due to chaos in the theatre. The film, which had been re-released after 20 years, faced a similar disruption when the audience became unruly. First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
