The Coldplay Kiss Cam scandal may have been one of the biggest highlights of 2025, taking the internet by storm, and it continues to return to the spotlight for some reason or another. Ever since former Astronomer HR head Kristin Cabot was caught on the jumbotron cosying up with then-boss Andy Byron, the affair has sparked headlines worldwide, forcing the lovers to resign from Astronomer. And now, Kristin Cabot has stepped forward to “take back the narrative”.
Kristin Cabot is ready to rewrite her story after extreme public shaming
After months of silence and huge changes in her personal life, the ex-Astronomer HR Chief is ready to take back her narrative. Kristin Cabot is set to be a keynote speaker at PRWeek’s 2026 Crisis Comms Conference with PR Hall of Famer Dini von Mueffling for a 30-minute discussion session titled “Kristin Cabot: Taking Back the Narrative“. A segment from the conference’s website reads:
“At PRWeek Crisis Comms in DC, we’re diving deep into one of the most explosive personal brand crises of the decade. Kristin Cabot’s life ‘blew up’ last July after a fleeting moment at a Coldplay concert became a global obsession. This isn’t just a story; it’s a technical use case in survival. During this session, Cabot will be joined by her PR counsel, industry icon Dini von Mueffling, to break down the exact PR architecture used to fight back against a 300-billion-view frenzy.”
