At Coldplay’s sold-out show at Gillette Stadium, 60,000 fans saw something unforgettable—on the Kiss Cam, CEO Andy Byron was caught smiling at his colleague, Kristin Cabot, not his wife. “I just stood there,” his wife recalled. “The sound of 60,000 people laughing… that’s the last thing I remember.”
While the internet exploded—over 4.3 million TikTok views—his wife stayed quiet. But she had been watching for a year. “I had my suspicions,” she said, and when Kristin’s name kept showing up in key company documents, “I started digging.” What she found wasn’t flirtation—it was Kristin consolidating control.
She gathered proof: emails, Slack messages, policy edits, all showing Kristin bypassing procedures and gaining power. A private email with 17 pages of internal documents was sent to the board. Andy once wrote: “If Kristin wants it… retro-approve.”
The fallout was immediate. An internal investigation began. Kristin vanished from public view.
But this wasn’t revenge—it was strategy. The wife filed for divorce and demanded that any benefits from favoritism or improper influence be treated as marital assets. “He didn’t just lie to me. He lied to the board.”
Her final words are now a rallying cry inside the company:
**“She rewired him. And now I’m the one cutting the power.”**
