Kiss Cam Woman Kristin Cabot Says Coldplay Member Never Reached Out To Her After Viral Video Controversy

Kristin Cabot is setting the record straight. Months after a “kiss cam” moment at a Coldplay concert turned her life upside down, Cabot has revealed that frontman Chris Martin never reached out to her following the viral fallout. Despite being at the center of a massive internet controversy sparked during his show, Cabot confirmed the singer has remained silent.

Speaking candidly during an appearance at the PRWeek Crisis Communications Conference in Washington, D.C., Cabot was asked directly if Martin had ever made contact. Her response was blunt: “Nope, No, Never did.” She added that while she didn’t expect it, a gesture from the singer would have been “great” considering the circumstances.

No More Coldplay Concerts for Cabot

When asked if she would ever attend another Coldplay show, Cabot’s response was a firm “No.”

“No, I’m all set,” she stated, signaling a definitive end to her association with the band’s live performances.

Instead of chasing the spotlight, Cabot is now focusing her energy on rebuilding her public image. She has transitioned into the world of reputational recovery, headlining sessions on how to reclaim one’s narrative after facing intense online backlash.

The Viral Moment That Sparked the Storm

The controversy began in July 2025 during a Coldplay concert. The “kiss cam” panned to Cabot and her then-boss, Andy Byron, who both appeared visibly uncomfortable and attempted to duck away from the screen. The awkward reaction went viral instantly, with millions of users speculating about a potential extramarital affair.

The situation was exacerbated when Chris Martin joked from the stage:

• “Either they’re having an affair, or they’re just very shy.”

The fallout was swift and severe. The “digital shaming” that followed led to both Cabot and Byron eventually stepping down from their respective roles at the tech company Astronomer. Today, Cabot is using that painful experience to help others navigate the treacherous waters of viral notoriety.
