Posted 2 hours agoThe Woman In The Viral Coldplay Jumbotron Video Just Broke Her Silence, And It's Important"I took accountability and I gave up my career for that."by Natasha JokicBuzzFeed StaffFacebookPinterestLink This post contains mentions of death threats. The woman at the center of the viral Coldplay jumbotron incident has finally spoken out. Samir Hussein / Samir Hussein/WireImage Back in July, the kiss cam at a Coldplay concert panned to a man with his arms wrapped around a woman. Except, once the camera was on them, they promptly scrambled away - leading frontman Chris Martin to joke, "What? Either they're having an affair, or they're just very shy." @instaagraace Things got worse when the pair were identified as Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot, the CEO and Chief People Officer of a tech company called Astronomer. Giving fuel to the affair fire, they were both reported to be married. @instaagraace Andy wound up resigning from Astronomer. Now, in an interview with the New York Times, Kristin is telling her side. For one, she said that they were both separated from their spouses at the time of the incident. @instaagraace Feelings developed as they worked in close proximity to one another, and she said she wound up inviting Andy as her plus one to the concert, alongside her friends: "I was like: 'I got this. I can have a crush. I can handle it.'" She stressed that they had only kissed once, which was that night. @instaagraace When they were first on screen, Kristin said she was initially concerned about the potential reaction of the company's board - and the potential fallout for her soon-to-be ex-husband, who was also in the crowd that night. "Andy's my boss...I was so embarrassed and so horrified," she continued. "I'm the head of H.R. and he's the C.E.O. It's, like, so cliché and so bad." @instaagraace However, the incident didn't remain confined to the walls of the stadium. In the wake of the viral video, Kristin said that she's received death threats and confrontations in public. Her kids have been gravely impacted. "They were already in really bad shape, and that's when the wheels fell off the cart," she explained. "Because my kids were afraid that I was going to die and they were going to die." @instaagraace "I made a bad decision and had a couple of High Noons and danced and acted inappropriately with my boss. 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 said. "I want my kids to know that you can make mistakes, and you can really screw up. But you don't have to be threatened to be killed for them."
