What will Kristin Cabot discuss?
“At PRWeek Crisis Comms in DC, we’re diving deep into one of the most explosive personal brand crises of the decade. Kristin Cabot’s life ‘blew up’ last July after a fleeting moment at a Coldplay concert became a global obsession. This isn't just a story; it's a technical use case in survival. During this session, Cabot will be joined by her PR counsel, industry icon Dini von Mueffling, to break down the exact PR architecture used to fight back against a 300-billion-view frenzy,” the organisation hosting the event shared on social media.
How did social media react?
The news divided social media. While some supported her, others argued that she wasn’t the correct choice for the discussion.

{{/usCountry}}An individual posted, “I wouldn’t attend this event even if you PAID me $875.” Another added, “That would be an interesting conversation.”
A third commented, “After the brutal fallout, job loss, threats, family harassment, she's speaking out as an anti-bullying advocate at a pricey crisis event. $875 is steep, but if it sparks real talk on online shaming and kindness, maybe worth it for the industry. Trauma to the testimony pipeline. Thoughts?” A fourth wrote, “I have questions for anyone who wants to pay to take life advice from that woman.”
Kristin Cabot resigned from her job at Astronomer after she was seen cuddling her boss, Andy Byron, the former CEO of the same company, at a Coldplay concert.
