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. Explore courses from Top Institutes in Please select course: Select a Course Category Insiders told the New York Post that both Andrew Cabot and Andy Byron's wife, Megan Kerrigan, were blindsided by the affair. One source simply remarked, 'Poor guy,' referring to Andrew. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Despite the public image of a strong marriage — including a smiling family photo posted on Facebook in May 2024 — sources now claim the Cabots had been experiencing marital troubles for months and were considering separation. 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.

Is Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 really coming to PlayStation 5?
Image via Asobo Studio. In the world of console-wars, PlayStation and Xbox are the two names that have held their grounds firm since their launches. This is one of the very few 'Messi-Ronaldo' like debates that divides the world into two parts. Be it superior hardwares, or better value-for-money subscription models, both consoles always get an edge over each other. However, the major distinctive factor has to be 'console exclusivity.' But that thin line is diminishing slowly, and another Xbox-exclusive title might influence this process later this year. Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is rumored to arrive on PlayStation 5 It was 2024 when the term 'console-exclusivity' slowly started to perish as major Xbox-exclusive titles like Hi-Fi Rush, Pentiment, and many others made their way on to PlayStation 5. Similar efforts were put by Sony as well when popular PlayStation-exclusive titles like Helldivers 2 , Indiana Jones and the Great Circle were released on Xbox. Now, it seems another hugely popular Xbox-first party title, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, might land in the arch rival camp. With the major first-party titles getting released on rival platforms becoming a trend recently, the arrival of MFS2024 on PS5 was quite evident, and rumors were already spreading around the internet. Now, a recent claim by credible leaker NateTheHate solidifies those rumors to a greater extent. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Struggling With Belly Fat? Try This at Home Home Fitness Hack Shop Now Undo Recently, a fan on Twitter asked NateTheHate about the potential release of MFS2024 on PlayStation 5. The leaker replied back with the confirmation about the query. Not only that, he also gave a probable release window of 2025. According to him, PlayStation fans might see MFS2024 surfacing on their platform around the completion of one year of its actual release, which is on November 19, 2024. If Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 really lands on PlayStation 5, that would really open the floodgate from both sides as MFS2024 is surely one of the biggest first-party Xbox titles. This will also mark a significant turning point in the gaming industry where console companies would stop restricting their first-party titles to their platforms, and the publishing companies will look to boost their sales from different platforms. And it makes a lot of sense as well. Read More: Is GTA 6 coming to Xbox One, PS4, and Nintendo Switch?
