The former human resources executive who was caught in the arms of her boss at a Coldplay concert has sat down with Oprah Winfrey to discuss the scandal.
Kristin Cabot, a mother of two, opened up about her relationship with her former boss, ex-Astronomer CEO Andy Byron, months after the two were seen cozying up together at a concert in Boston.
The moment, caught on the stadium kiss cam, went viral after they quickly covered their faces and tried to dash out of view. The fallout ultimately led to both resigning from their jobs.
At the time, Coldplay front man Chris Martin told the crowd: 'Oh, look at these two! Oh, what? Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy.'
Cabot appeared on The Oprah Podcast ahead of another speaking gig where she will deliver a keynote speech at an $875-a-ticket PR conference.
In a preview for the interview, which is set to air on YouTube on Tuesday, Cabot insisted her estranged husband Andrew would not have been surprised if he saw her at the concert with her boss.
She also told Winfrey how she received a message from her daughter as she walked into Gillette Stadium informing her that Andrew was also at the concert.
'And in my mind, I thought well that's - is this going to be weird if he sees me with Andy [Byron]? Like... if I run into him,' Cabot recounted.

'But then I was like, "I'm in Gillette Stadium, there's 55,000 people here, I'm probably not going to run into him."'
In retrospect, Cabot said it 'would've been better at the end of the day, if I had just run into him.'
Still, she maintained that Andrew would not have been surprised to see her with Byron.
'He [my ex] knows how closely Andy and I worked together; he knows we socialized—like got lunches and got drinks. It was fine,' Cabot said, noting that she and Andrew were already separated at the time of the scandal.
But Andrew was said to have been 'blindsided' by the media frenzy that ensued, which included finding reporters outside the $2.2 million waterfront home in Rye, New Hampshire, that he shared with his wife and his two children.
He felt compelled to confirm to People that he and Cabot were already 'privately and amicably separated several weeks before the Coldplay concert.'
'Their decision to divorce was already underway prior to that evening,' a spokesperson for Andrew, who is the CEO of Privateer Rum, told the outlet.
She insisted in the interview that her estranged husband, Andrew, would not have been surprised to see her with her boss at the concert.
'Now that the divorce filing is public, Andrew hopes this provides respectful closure to speculation and allows his family the privacy they've always valued.'
But in December, Cabot claimed she had been hammered with death threats in the aftermath of the viral incident.
'I made a bad decision and had a couple of High Noons and danced and acted inappropriately with my boss,' she told the New York Times.
'And it's not nothing. And I took accountability and I gave up my career for that. That's the price I chose to pay.'
She is now set to share a keynote speaker spot at PRWeek's 2026 Crisis Comms Conference in Washington, DC, for between $750 and $875 a ticket.
The mother of two will appear in a 30-minute talk titled Taking Back the Narrative alongside public relations CEO Dini von Mueffling.
Fourteen other speakers are scheduled for the conference in April.
