(NEXSTAR) – Kristin Cabot, the woman thrust into the spotlight after being filmed embracing her superior on the Jumbotron during a Coldplay concert, has faced relentless harassment. In a recent New York Times interview, she disclosed that since the clip went viral over the summer, she has been targeted online, via phone, and even in person, with numerous death threats among the backlash.

“I received about 50 or 60,” Cabot shared with the publication.

The incident occurred at a Coldplay concert in Foxborough, Massachusetts, in July, where Cabot and her then-boss, Andy Byron from the tech firm Astronomer, were caught on camera. The footage captured Cabot standing in front of Byron, as he enveloped her in an embrace, right as they appeared on the giant screen.

Reacting swiftly, Cabot attempted to conceal her face, while Byron also ducked, prompting Coldplay’s lead singer, Chris Martin, to quip about their sudden retreat.

“Either they’re in the midst of an affair, or just very shy,” Martin humorously remarked.

Cabot told The New York Times she had never had a physical relationship with Byron until that night (she said they did kiss once), although she admitted he had been her “crush” after they bonded at work. She also said she told him she was separating from her husband (a claim her husband had confirmed in a previous statement to People) and claims Byron told her he was dealing with the “same thing.”

Still, she said, it was a “bad decision” on her part to flirt with the idea of a romantic relationship.

“I made a bad decision and had a couple of High Noons and danced and acted inappropriately with my boss. And it’s not nothing. And I took accountability, and I gave up my career for that,” she told the Times. “That’s the price I chose to pay.”

Byron, the CEO of Astronomer at the time, resigned from the company days after the incident. Cabot, the HR chief, resigned about a week after.

Cabot told the Times she tried to avoid being seen in public for months after the incident, for fear of being harassed or embarrassing her children. She recalled times when a woman approached her while pumping gas and called her “the lowest form of human,” and once when her daughter was reduced to tears because strangers were taking pictures of them.

She’s decided to speak up now, she said, in part because she wanted her side of the story to be known before rumors about her character or marriage, or any assumptions that she was “sleeping around” to advance her career, were set in stone. (Cabot told the Times she’s been working since she was 13, and at times “supported my family entirely on my own.”)

“I want my kids to know that you can make mistakes, and you can really screw up,” Cabot said. “But you don’t have to be threatened to be killed for them.”

Coldplay’s Chris Martin, too, had indicated at a concert in August that he hoped Cabot and Byron were “well,” albeit after joking about what he called an “internationally massive scandal.”

“Anyway, we send pure love to those people, and I wish them so well,” he said.
