[My Daily = Reporter Kwak Myung-dong] A representative from the woman involved in an alleged affair at a Coldplay concert has spoken for the first time.

The controversy erupted when Astronomer CEO Andy Byren (51) and HR executive Christine Cabot (53) were captured on the kiss cam at a Coldplay concert in Boston, USA, in August. Lead vocalist Chris Martin joked, “They might be having an affair, or maybe they’re just very shy.” As the couple’s affectionate act appeared on the big screen, they quickly hid. The media delved into their private lives, and even paparazzi got involved.

As criticism mounted, Byren and Cabot eventually left their companies. It was recently revealed that Cabot was already separated from her husband and began divorce proceedings shortly after the concert. Byren is also reportedly married.

A representative for Cabot emphasized in an interview with entertainment media outlet People on the 23rd (local time), “That scene does not reflect reality,” insisting, “There was no affair breaking up the family.”

They continued, “Christine and Andy had an excellent working relationship and were good friends,” recognizing, “The hug was inappropriate, and she takes responsibility for that, but it was unfair for it to lead to scandal, downfall, and job loss.”

The representative also lamented, “The reports deviated significantly from the truth, branding her a ‘homewrecker.’” They clarified, “It wasn’t a corporate event, no corporate seats were involved. It was just a concert with friends, and an inappropriate moment was caught.”

The representative stated, “After the incident, Cabot has had a hard time even leaving her house, prioritizing her family, and her children have suffered greatly.” Notably, after the incident, Cabot experienced ridicule when unfamiliar women took photos while she was out picking up her son.

Cabot even received death threats. The representative disclosed, “In the first three days after the news broke, she received approximately 900 death threats to her phone,” and expressed shock at “the public’s enjoyment of someone’s ridicule and humiliation as if it were a justified punishment.”
