Media Monday: Oprah Podcast with Kristie Cabot

 



I do enjoy listening to Oprah's Podcast

I don't listen weekly just if its someone I like or if the topic is interesting is on!





In a worldwide exclusive interview, Oprah talks with Kristin Cabot, the woman caught on the Coldplay "kiss cam" in the arms of her boss and CEO of her company. The video became a phenomenon, instantly going viral around the globe with more than 300 billion views. While it became the most watched video of 2025, it also changed the course of Kristin Cabot’s life. In what she says will be her one and only on camera interview about the event, Kristin Cabot joins Oprah in front of an audience in New York City to reveal details about her life and relationships in the days leading up to the concert in Boston, and how her life was impacted afterwards. She tells Oprah her reaction to the 15 seconds that turned into an infinite number of memes and opened an unstoppable floodgate of what Kristin says is never-ending judgment, mocking, vitriol and even death threats. Kristin Cabot, who was the Chief People Officer for Astronomer at the time of the concert, tells Oprah the nature of her relationship with her then boss, former Astronomer CEO Andy Byron. Kristin Cabot says, “There is a different version of me than what people saw on a TikTok video.” Oprah and Kristin also hear from audience members about their reaction to the viral video and how they were quick to judge.




  My Two Cents:


When this happened at the Coldplay Concert Kiss Cam - I did jump to conclusion and judged them for having an affair, or at least that was what it seemed. And than the internet tore her apart; she lost her job, and was getting death threats, not to mention what her kids where going through at school.

BUT nothing happened to him! No losing his job and no death threats. 

Everyone decided it was all her fault!

I listened to the interview to get her side of the story and I'm glad I did! I learned so much.

She was separated from her husband

Her husband was at that same concert with his new girlfriend

Her boss said he was separated from his wife

It was the first time they went out in public together


Now, I know this is just her side of the story, but it made me think, Why do we as a society want to slander people all over social media without having all the details? Especially woman! 

At least for me, I'm going to try and give people the benefit of the doubt!


See you Thursday for a Throwback Thursday!

Fanfiction Friday - Dark Story Writing Challenge for Me

 



One thing about Twilight Fanfiction was it was never dull - I was know as the cupcake  because  I wrote and read mostly fluff (all happy stories) A dark story author challenged me to write a dark one -shot and she would write a fluff one -shot!  

I accepted of course!


Here were my rules

1. It has to be 3,000 words (it's not)

2. NO FLUFF OF ANY KIND - *sighs*

3. Edward must kill Bella -*cries*

4. All smut must be hardcore. *nods*



BE ADVISED if you choose to Read The Monster Within - it's dark, maybe disturbing to some, and very sexual in nature


The Monster Within


Summary: The kiss between Bella and Jake before the newborn fight pushes Edward over the edge. What happens when a tightly wound vampire...snaps. Everything that once was is no longer. DARK!
