“No Sympathy For The Homewreckers”: People React To Kristin Cabot’s Friends Exposing Her Past

Friends who went to college with wild child Kristin Cabot spoke about her sorority days, which took place years before she made headlines for canoodling a married CEO, Andy Byron, at a Coldplay concert.

The former Astronomer HR executive was recently captured in a “sad state” outside the $2.2 million home she recently bought with her current husband, wealthy Boston heir Andrew Cabot.

Highlights
  • Kristin Cabot was pictured outside her home in New Hampshire in the wake of the Coldplay controversy.
  • Her old college friends spoke about her sorority days.
  • Kristin was part of the Delta Gamma sorority, known for its “pearls and parties.”
  • She hung out with girls from “affluent” families and maintained an aura of affluence herself.

While her wedding ring was missing, the very same pearls she wore to the Coldplay gig were seen around her neck during her recent sombre appearance.

    Twice-married Kristin, whose workplace romance with Andy was busted at a Coldplay show, lay low until she was spotted looking downcast outside her home last week.

    She was noticeably not wearing her wedding ring, which was also missing when she and Andy were being touchy-feely at the concert. Her husband Andrew was reportedly away in Japan for a work trip at the time.

    “Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy,” lead singer Chris Martin said when the front-row lovers awkwardly tried hiding their faces.

    Days after the scandal unfolded, Kristin was pictured in her garden wearing pearls and a heart pendant around her neck. She was wearing the same necklace in her viral PDA footage with the former Astronomer CEO.

    “You can tell she’s in a sad state,” a netizen wrote online.

    It is unclear whether the pearl necklace was a gift from her CEO lover, her current rich CEO husband, or a calculated message. But sources revealed that pearls might have a special meaning for Kristin because of her sorority phase.

    Known as “Kristi” back in the day, the HR exec went to Gettysburg College, Pennsylvania, and was a member of the Delta Gamma sorority.

    She went by her maiden name Stanek at the time, and majored in political science.

    “She was definitely confident, and had a very biting sense of humor. But she wasn’t super ambitious from what we remember,” one friend told the Daily Mail.

    “She was certainly a member of the more elite circles. We always thought she would do well career wise, but sleeping with the CEO? No one would have expected that,” they said.

    “We were all under the impression that she came from affluence, or at least presented that way. She was never promiscuous or anything, so this situation came as a bit of a surprise,” they continued.

    The insider said they weren’t “surprised” to see Kristin being part of a wealthy, affluent circle today. But they were surprised by the recent events that transpired.

    “Kristi was never on social media at all, apart from LinkedIn, so we were really surprised to see her finally and see how far she has come,” they said. “No one was surprised to see where she ended up socioeconomically, but definitely surprised to see her in that situation.”

    Kristin, who resigned from her role as HR executive of Astronomer in light of the scandal, is currently married to Privateer Rum CEO Andrew Cabot.

    Andrew has been married thrice so far and is an heir to the $15.4 billion fortune of the Cabot family—one of the oldest and wealthiest families in Boston.

    Kristin and Andrew took out a mortgage for their New Hampshire home, but have apparently been having “marriage troubles for several months”

    The Cabots belong to the clan of “Boston Brahmins,” which refers to a class of wealthy, educated, elite members that held a prestigious place in Boston society in the 19th century.

    The Cabot family legacy is so popular in Boston that it made its way into a local poem that says: “This is good old Boston/ The home of the bean and the cod/ Where the Lowells talk only to Cabots/ And the Cabots talk only to God.”

    Kristin first tied the knot in 2007 to Ken Thornby and welcomed two children with him before their divorce was finalized in 2020.

    Andrew tied the knot with his first wife Maud in 1993 and also shares two children with her. They separated in 2011 and jointly filed for divorce in 2013.

    His second marriage to his wife Julie was in 2014, and he filed for divorce in 2018.

    Andrew is the CEO and COO of Privateer Rum, and Kristin has served as an “advisory board member” for the company since September 2020.

    Kristin and Andrew bought a two-story home for $2.2 million in Rye, New Hampshire, in February this year.

    They took out a $1.6 million mortgage with Morgan Stanley to buy the house and had plans of renovating the “fixer-upper” property, sitting on 1.42 acres of land.

    “The family is now saying they have been having marriage troubles for several months and were discussing separating, which I find interesting since, as of a month ago, they were saying how in love they are,” a source told the New York Post last week.

    Why would anyone have sympathy for two people who are self absorbed and wrecked two families? They went to a public event and got caught cheating. No recourse because they made it public. They ruined 2 families. Reap what you sow people!!!
