Maud Cabot/Facebook Property records show that they bought a $2.2 million house on the New Hampshire coast earlier this year. The Cabot family is one of the original “Boston Brahmin” clans that controlled New England for centuries — a club so old, WASPy and distinguished that the Irish-Catholic Kennedys are left out in the cold. The family made its fortune in soot, known colloquially in industry circles as “carbon black,” a key ingredient in car tires, and dates back to New England for 10 generations. The family patriarch, Samuel Cabot, kickstarted the family fortune by marrying Eliza Perkins, the daughter of a wealthy merchant trader. The family is so well known in Boston, it’s said locally that the “Cabots speak only to God.” As a local poem goes, “And this is good old Boston/ The home of the bean and the cod/ Where the Lowells talk only to Cabots/ And the Cabots talk only to God.” The Cabots of yesteryear were seafarers and merchants who partook in the slave and opium trades in the early 19th century. They shared portions of their largesse over the years with New England educational institutions like Harvard University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Norwich University and the Perkins School for the Blind, according to the profile. Heir Francis Cabot, of New York, once said of his family that over the years, they’ve been “interested in two things — one is marrying rich women and the other is group singing.” Tue, 22 Jul 2025 05:58:20 -0700 Andy from private IP Reply #19546187 People who don't need other people behave the worst.

The company, Astronomer, confirmed that its executive in charge of human resources has left. “Kristin Cabot is no longer with Astronomer, she has resigned," spokesman Taylor Jones said in a brief statement. Her departure follows the resignation of CEO Andy Byron, who quit after the company said he was being put on leave pending an investigation. More: Tech company CEO resigns after controversy over video captured at Coldplay concert The episode resulted in endless memes, parody videos and screenshots of the pair’s shocked faces filling social media feeds Cabot and Byron were caught by surprise when singer Chris Martin asked the cameras to scan the crowd for his “Jumbotron Song” during the concert last week at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts. They were shown cuddling and smiling, but when they saw themselves on the big screen, Cabot's jaw dropped, her hands flew to her face and she spun away from the camera while Byron ducked out of the frame. “Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy,” Martin joked in video that spread quickly around the internet. When the video first spread online it wasn't immediately clear who they were, but online sleuths rapidly figured out their identities. The company has previously confirmed the identities of the couple in a statement to the AP. Both of their profiles have been now removed from Astronomer's website and a November press release announcing her hiring has also been deleted. Astronomer was a previously obscure tech company based in New York. It provides big companies with a platform that helps them organize their data. Online streams of Coldplay's songs jumped 20% in the days after the video went viral, according to Luminate, an industry data and analytics company.

But you don’t have to be threatened to be killed for them.”Credit...Greta Rybus for The New York Times Lisa Miller By Lisa Miller Dec. 18, 2025 Kristin Cabot has come to believe that her silence no longer serves her. It made sense in the beginning, after she appeared on the Jumbotron, aghast, in the arms of her boss at a Coldplay concert on July 16, 2025, a moment that caused an international furor. The original TikTok received 100 million views within days. Cabot retreated, trying to make things right with the people who mattered most: her two teenage kids; her employer, the tech company Astronomer; and her second husband, Andrew Cabot, from whom she was separated and negotiating a divorce settlement. In the initial phase, all she could think was: Oh my God, I hurt people. I hurt good people. Listen to this article with reporter commentary Five months after the TikTok bomb became the defining disaster of her life, she described in her first interview since the concert what it feels like to be a punchline and a target. In online comments she has been called a slut, a homewrecker, a gold digger, a side piece — the usual tags for shaming women. Her appearance has been scrutinized, specific body parts evaluated and found insufficiently pretty. Some of the most famous people in the world — Whoopi Goldberg, Gwyneth Paltrow — and at least one furry green sports mascot, the Phillie Phanatic, have made her humiliation their material. She was doxxed, and for weeks received 500 or 600 calls a day. Paparazzi camped across the street from her house and cars slowly cruised her block, “like a parade,” she recalled. She received death threats: “Not 900. That showed up in People magazine. I got 50 or 60,” she told me. So while #coldplaygate, as it came to be called, cycled out of view, she lives with it every day. Her children are reluctant to be seen with her. Just before Thanksgiving, a woman recognized her while she was pumping gas at Cumberland Farms. She called Cabot “disgusting” and said: “Adulterers are the lowest form of human. You don’t even deserve to breathe the same air that I breathe.” Here Cabot is paraphrasing. I traveled to her home in New Hampshire on a snowy weekend this month, and we hashed over the events of July 16 for hours. For weeks Cabot had been debating, on her own and with family and friends, whether to talk about what happened. Any attempt to correct the record put her at risk of being shredded all over again. Her mother, Sherry Hoffman, told me in a phone call that she was so worried about Cabot that she said a kind of prayer to herself: “Oh, please don’t go out there, they’re going to cream you.” But Cabot, 53, wanted to tell her side, and her children, her mother and her closest friends stood behind her. “I kept thinking of a saying I’ve heard through the years,” Hoffman said. “‘Silence is acceptance.’ And I thought, ‘Oh my god, that’s what’s going to be out there for the rest of her life.’” Cabot hired a communications consultant to help her tell her story while minimizing further damage to herself and the people she loves — a high-wire act that felt, in her presence, at times anguishing and at times too pat. The two of us started the day in the kitchen. Cabot, her hair twisted up in a bun, was nervous, referring to bullet points as she unspooled her tale. But by evening, she was tucked into the couch, her large Bernedoodle, Burt Reynolds, as much in her lap as he could manage to be. She was not in a sexual relationship with her boss, she said. Before that night, they had never even kissed. “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.” ImageA woman sitting on a couch with sunlight streaming through the windows behind her.

Credit...Greta Rybus for The New York Times Raised in Maine in a family of brothers, Cabot was always super competitive: She will “go through a brick wall to get something done,” she said. She came to human resources through advertising and sales and always presented herself as “hyper-professional,” said her friend Alyson Welch, who worked with her at the tech company neo4j. When, in the summer of 2024, Cabot interviewed with Andy Byron, at the time Astronomer’s chief executive, she found they “clicked, stylistically.” She started as Astronomer’s chief people officer in November 2024. In the fast-growth, start-up culture, the company’s staff was expanding and Cabot and Byron spoke every day, sometimes three times a day. In spring 2025, while grabbing a sandwich near Astronomer’s New York office, Cabot made reference to her marriage “in a tone,” as she remembers it, and Byron asked what was up. She was going through a separation, she said. It was stressful and she worried about her kids. “I’m going through the same thing,” she recalled him saying. Reached by phone, Byron declined to be interviewed for this article. For Cabot, the shared acknowledgment “sort of strengthened our connection,” she said, and a close working relationship grew even closer. At work, they shared confidences and made each other laugh, and for Cabot “big feelings” grew fast. She began to allow herself to imagine the romantic possibilities, though she knew she couldn’t keep reporting to Byron if the relationship progressed. She loved her job, and with two kids and a large, extended family of stepparents and siblings, she was incredibly busy. “I didn’t really get too carried away because he’s my boss,” she said. Cabot’s separation from her husband was still new when she agreed to go with friends to see Coldplay. She liked the band well enough, but what really appealed was being out, with friends, on a summer Wednesday. “I hadn’t been out in ages,” she told me. She asked Byron to be her plus one. Before the concert, Cabot and Byron met up with a small group of Cabot’s close friends at the Stockyard, an old-school steak joint. “I wanted to put a cute outfit on and go out and dance and laugh and have a great night,” she said. “And that’s how it was tracking.” The vibe of the evening was open and giddy, agreed two attendees who asked to be anonymous because of what they saw happen to their friend. Was any part of her concerned about this outing from an H.R. perspective? “Some inside part of my brain might have been jumping up and down and waving its arms, saying, ‘Don’t do this,’” Cabot replied. But, generally, “No.” She was “pumped” to introduce Byron to her friends. “I was like: ‘I got this. I can have a crush. I can handle it.’” On the ride to Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass., Cabot learned, by text, that her soon-to-be ex-husband was attending the concert, too. “It threw me,” she conceded. But she and Byron “were not an item.” The seats were on a V.I.P. balcony offering a sweeping view of the stage. Cabot remembers that the setting felt dark and private. She and Byron each had a couple of tequila cocktails, and as the concert went on they began to look like a couple. She made a point of saying that night was the first and only time they kissed. Byron was dancing behind Cabot when she took his hands and wrapped his arms around her. When Cabot saw her own image, and his, on the Jumbotron, it was like “someone flipped a switch,” she said. “I’ll never be able to explain it in any articulate or intelligent way,” she said. What an instant before felt like “joy, joy, joy” turned to terror. Cabot’s hands flew to her face, and she whirled out of Byron’s arms. Byron ducked. At that moment, she had two thoughts. First: Andrew Cabot was somewhere in the dark stadium and she did not want to humiliate him. And: “Andy’s my boss.” “I was so embarrassed and so horrified,” she said. “I’m the head of H.R. and he’s the C.E.O. It’s, like, so cliché and so bad.” Cabot and Byron fled back to the bar. “We both just sat there with our heads in our hands, like, ‘What just happened?’” Even before leaving the stadium, they began to discuss how to manage their public transgression. “And the initial conversation was, ‘We have to tell the board.’” Cabot has an apartment in the Boston area for when she has custody of her kids, and she and Byron went back there to strategize. Who would write the email? What would it say? Who would send it? “Panic attacks were starting,” Cabot said. In her mind’s eye, she saw the loss of her job and complications in her amicable parting with Andrew Cabot, whom her children adored. And, then, about 4 in the morning, Cabot received a text. It was a screenshot of a TikTok. “And I was like” — she paused and asked, “Can I swear?” I said she should speak as she normally speaks. She continued. “And I was like, Oh,” and she swore. “Like, not just Andrew and the board are going to know about this now.” At 6 a.m. Thursday, when Byron and Cabot pressed send on their email, the TikTok was already blowing up. She drove to see herReplies require login.
