Kristin Cabot is finally telling her side of the story. Appearing on The Oprah Podcast on March 17, 2026, Cabot addressed the viral fallout from a July 2025 Coldplay concert where she was caught on a "kiss cam" hugging her then-boss, Andy Byron. The footage sparked a global firestorm of cheating allegations, but Cabot revealed to host Oprah Winfrey that she was already privately separated from her husband—who was also in attendance at the same concert—when the moment occurred.

The interview detailed the "intense betrayal" and online harassment Cabot faced in the months following the incident. She described significant career repercussions and a coordinated backlash that deeply impacted her personal and professional life. Cabot clarified that while the hug looked compromising to millions of viewers, the narrative created by social media users did not reflect the reality of her marital status or the situation at the time.

Cabot also confirmed she has officially cut all ties with Andy Byron, citing his "dishonesty" during the aftermath of the scandal as the primary reason for the split. She took aim at various celebrities who joined in the mockery of the video, telling Winfrey that the public shaming felt like a "relentless assault." Cabot concluded the interview by stating she is focused on rebuilding her reputation and moving past the viral spotlight.
