In Durham today, March 18th, Kristen Cabot recently called out Gwyneth Paltrow and Ryan Reynolds for joking about her viral kiss cam moment at a cold play concert. The incident happened back in August 2025, when Cabot, then head of HR at TechFirm Astronomer, got cozy on camera with CEO Andy Byron, who had just separated from his spouse. They quickly tried to hide when they noticed the spotlight, but the clip spread fast online. Soon after, Astronomer tried to laugh it off with a mock ad featuring Paltrow, the 53-year-old ex-wife of cold play frontman Chris Martin. Posing as their temporary spokesperson, Cabot resigned from her chief people officer role and dealt with a wave of death threats that upended her life. She has owned up to the mistake, saying she chose to walk away from her career, to set an example for her kids about accountability. In a new interview this week, Cabot expressed deep disappointment in Paltrow's involvement, calling it hypocritical given her wellness brand's focus.

On supporting women, she even admitted the whole cold play vibe is ruined for her now. Us Weekly has reached out to Paltrow and Reynolds for comment, but no response yet as the story continues to stir debate online. This episode is proudly sponsored by our partner.
