After being mocked about her viral Coldplay kiss-cam video scandal, former Astronomer HR executive Kristin Cabot took Gwyneth Paltrow to task.
During a Foxborough, Massachusetts concert at the band’s Music of the Spheres World Tour in July, a couple appeared on the venue’s kiss-cam during the Jumbotron Song segment, and noticing the paier attempted to avoid the screen, frontman Chris Martin declared, “Whoa, look at these two. Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy.”
Garnering 90,000,000 views on TikTok, the viral footage later identified the individuals as Cabot and her boss, Andy Byron, and in the following weeks, Martin’s ex-wife, Paltrow, appeared in an advertisement for Astronomer which poked fun at the alleged affair between the pair.
In an interview for The Times published on Thursday (12.18,) the the 53-year-old Cabot called the actress-entrepreneur a “hypocrite” adding “I was such a fan of her company (Goop), which seemed to be about uplifting women.” “And then she did this. I thought, ‘How dare she after the beating she got for all the conscious uncoupling stuff.’ What a hypocrite.”
In the advertisement, the Oscar-winning actress revealed she had been tapped as Astronomer’s “temporary” spokesperson, stating “Astronomer has gotten a lot of questions over the last few days and they wanted me to answer the most common ones.” “We’ve been thrilled that so many people have a newfound interest in data workflow automation.”
In a separate interview for The New York Times, Cabot stated that at the time of the incident she was separated from her husband, Andrew Cabot, and confirmed that he was also in the crowd at the concert, adding:
“I made a bad decision and had a couple of (alcoholic drink) High Noons and danced and acted inappropriately with my boss.” “And it’s not nothing and I took accountability… I gave up my career for that. That’s the price I chose to pay. I want my kids to know that you can make mistakes, and you can really screw up.”
Paltrow and Martin, who share two children, were married from 2003 until they separated, or “conscious uncoupled”, in 2014.
Cabot and Byron both resigned from Astronomer in the weeks after the concert drama.
