Christine Cabot, the party to the cold-play concert "Kisscam" scandal that caused a stir around the world last year, exploded her feelings for eight months through an exclusive interview with Oprah Winfrey, but social media public opinion was cold to her.

In an interview released on March 17 (local time) on The Oprah Podcast, Christine Cabot went head-to-head against Gwyneth Paltrow and Ryan Reynolds for appearing in promotional material for the company that was cut because of the scandal.

Cabot was particularly outraged by a promotional parody ad posted on social media nine days after the scandal by his company, American data technology start-up Astronomer, with Paltrow as an "interim spokesman." Paltrow is the ex - wife of coldplay vocalist Chris Martin. Considering the relationship between the two, who married in 2003 and divorced in 2016, it is ironic that Paltrow appeared in an advertisement that used the scandal from her ex-husband's performance for marketing.

Cabot said, "I don't understand why a person who runs a brand called Goop for women's lives and well-being would have stepped in and started a fire. I felt very hypocritical," he said. Regarding Ryan Reynolds, who produced the advertisement, he also pointed out, "I'm surprised that his wife Blake Lively made such an advertisement even though she had similar difficulties over the past year."

However, the social media response was not on Cabot's side. Oprah's Instagram comments were followed by "What did we do to her, self-inflicted," "The wife of the partner is the real victim," and "Why does she become a victim?" In the comments section of the Entertainment Weekly article, there were cold reactions such as "I only blame others without responsibility," "I don't have a single tear," and "I only blame others without acknowledging my own behavior."

On the other hand, Oprah's interview style was met with mixed reactions, with praise for "legendary interviews" and "I think the Oprah show is back." After ending a 25-year TV talk show in 2011, Oprah launched a new podcast, "The Oprah Podcast," which is updated every Tuesday from December 2024.

Meanwhile, Paltrow told Oprah before the interview, "I participated after hearing that Cabot and Byron agreed to the advertisement, and if it wasn't, I wouldn't have done it." When Oprah said, "Paltrow sent you an email and said he didn't get a reply," Cabot drew attention by responding briefly, "Thank you" after an uncomfortable silence.

In the interview, Cabot said that her husband Andrew Cabot, who was separated, was also at the venue that day. Cabot, who learned about this through his daughter's text, recalled, "I thought I wouldn't encounter it at Gillette Stadium with 55,000 people." Cabot claimed that he was already separated from his husband at the time of the incident, and that his boss Byron also told him that he was separated from his wife.

The day of the concert was the first time he had physical contact with Byron, and he also said he had no relationship with him beyond that, with only one kiss. He also confessed that even weeks before the concert, the two shared their separation situations and discussed ways to report them to the company's board of directors to disclose the relationship.

After the incident, Byron remained silent, and Cabot alone had to face public criticism. Cabot said, "I'm the only one who's been targeted. While he was silent, he took everything on his own, he said. "I have nothing to do with him now." In fact, Byron was seen wearing a wedding ring with his wife after the incident. Cabot said he lost his job in the scandal and filed for divorce, and so far, he is raising his children alone without finding a new job. Cabot confessed that the incident also changed his feelings for Coldplay, saying, "Honestly, I'm no longer a fan." He also said the interview would be his last official statement on the scandal.

The Kiscam video of Cabot's Coldplay performance, which was captured in July last year, started on TikTok and spread to platforms around the world, recording 300 billion views, making it the most viewed video in 2025. At the time, Chris Martin improvised a comment on stage, saying, "You must be cheating or shy."
