Time hasn’t healed any wounds for Kristin Cabot, the woman caught canoodling with her boss on Coldplay’s kiss cam last July.

Eight months since the moment went viral with 300 billion views, Cabot sat down with Oprah Winfrey to discuss how the unwanted fame has affected her life — and it seems she holds a grudge against the ex-wife of Coldplay singer Chris Martin.

Nine days after the scandal, Gwyneth Paltrow popped up in a mock ad as the “temporary spokesperson” of Astronomer, the tech company that employed Cabot as head of HR until her relationship with married CEO Andy Byron was made public.

Although the video, which Astronomer posted to its social media channels, was tongue-in-cheek, Cabot didn’t find it funny.

“That was really disappointing to me,” she told Winfrey. “I felt like Gwyneth, someone whose company [Goop] is founded on or framed around uplifting women and women’s well-being... I don’t know why she felt she needed to throw gas on the fire and get involved in all of this. It just felt really hypocritical to me and unnecessary.”

Cabot then turned her attention on another Hollywood heavyweight involved in the Astronomer ad: Ryan Reynolds.

“He produced the ad, he created it and his wife has just gone through something really similar over the last year,” she said, referencing Blake Lively’s ongoing legal battle with her *It Ends With Us* co-star/director Justin Baldoni, whom she accused of sexual harassment in December 2024. “I find it really kind of astounding that he thought this was a great way to lead.”

While Paltrow didn’t make an appearance on *The Oprah Podcast*, she did relay a message to Winfrey in a phone call ahead of Cabot’s sit-down interview.

“She was told that you and Andy Byron had signed off on that commercial,” said Winfrey, “and she said she wouldn’t have done it” if that wasn’t the case.

“She communicated that to me as well,” replied Cabot.

But Winfrey wasn’t done — and an awkward moment ensued.

“I was going to say,” she continued, “[Paltrow] also said that she sent you... an email and that she hadn’t heard back from the email.”

Cabot grimaced, and just stared back at Winfrey. “Thank you,” she replied after an uncomfortable silence.

And for the record, she’s not pleased with Coldplay either.

“That kinda got ruined for me, I’ll be honest,” Cabot confessed. “Like, not the biggest fan anymore.”

Representatives for Gwyneth Paltrow and Ryan Reynolds did not reply to **'s request for a comment on Cabot's interview with Winfrey.
