Kristin Cabot, the married former Astronomer executive who was caught on a kiss cam cuddling with her boss during a July Coldplay concert, has filed for divorce from her husband, according to a report.
Cabot filed the divorce petition in a New Hampshire court on August 13, less than a month after cellphone video taken of her date with her also-married boss went viral online, according to the Daily Mail.
Cabot and former Astronomer CEO Andy Byron were seen with their arms around each other on July 16 when the Megatron at the concert happened to zoom in on them. When they realized, the couple covered their faces and ducked out of view.
Their strange behavior prompted Coldplay frontman Chris Martin to quip: "Woah, look at these two. They're either having an affair or they're just very shy."

Fan video of the incident was uploaded to social media and internet sleuths quickly identified the pair.
Byron resigned on July 19 and Cabot resigned as head of HR just a few days later.
Julia Byron, who was married to Kristin Cabot's husband, Andew Cabot, before her, told the Daily Mail this week that she started getting messages after the incident went viral.
"I texted Andrew right after it happened, and he said: 'Her life is nothing to do with me,' and said they were separating," Julia told the outlet.

She added, "He's saying it has nothing to do with him, even though they were married and shared a house. But then, the only thing he cares about is money … He's not a nice person. Now something not nice [has] happened to him."
She said the first word everyone thought of when they heard about the kiss cam incident was "karma," referring to him.
"It was like: what you give, you get. Personally I don't think he's affected by what happened at all. I don't think his feelings are hurt. He's probably embarrassed, if anything."
She said that this will be Andrew Cabot's third divorce.
Once they realized they were on the big screen, Cabot quickly turned around and covered her face, while Byron ducked out of the camera's view. (@calebu2 / TMX / Fox News)
"I wouldn't say he's husband material, but she doesn't seem like wife material either," she added.

Trump roils Chicago Democrats with 'Apocalypse Now' meme hinting at National Guard deployment
Source: Fox News • Published: 9/7/2025, 12:50:24 AM
President Donald Trump on Saturday gave possibly his strongest hint yet that he may deploy federal troops to Chicago by posting a parody meme of himself as a commander at war with Chicago. The post drew a swift rebuke from Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and other officials who said it amounted to a threat.
In the image, Trump, known to provoke his opponents with his savvy use of social media, is styled as Robert Duvall's character in "Apocalypse Now," a Vietnam War epic about a decorated U.S. officer who has gone rogue deep in the Cambodian jungle.
"I love the smell of deportations in the morning…" Trump wrote above the image, a play on the famous quote from the hit 1979 film.
"Chicago is about to find out why it's called the Department of WAR," he wrote, followed by three helicopter emoji. It came a day after he signed an executive order changing the Defense Department's name to the Department of War.

The post appeared aimed at provoking Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, who have both strongly opposed Trump's threats to activate the National Guard in the Windy City to clamp down on crime and help enhance immigration enforcement efforts.
In the image, Trump is dressed in military fatigues resembling Duvall's character, Lt. Col. Bill Kilgore, a flamboyant and fearless air cavalry officer who leads a helicopter air assault on a Vietnamese village.

The text "Chipocalypse Now" is scrawled on the bottom of the image, a riff on "Apocalypse Now," with "Chi" referring to Chicago.
Trump's goading appeared to work. Within an hour, Pritzker shot back, with Johnson also weighing in.

"The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city," Pritzker wrote on X "This is not a joke. This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won't be intimidated by a wannabe dictator."
Johnson conveyed similar words of warning.
"The President's threats are beneath the honor of our nation, but the reality is that he wants to occupy our city and break our Constitution," Johnson wrote. "We must defend our democracy from this authoritarianism by protecting each other and protecting Chicago from Donald Trump."

Another outspoken Trump critic, Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., also decried the post on Saturday during remarks before a parade in Chicago's Pilsen neighborhood.
"This tweet this morning was disgusting to suggest that the troops are coming into Chicago or that the Department of War is going to be engaged is an embarrassment," Durban said, according to Fox 32 Chicago.
Trump has repeatedly floated the idea of deploying the National Guard in Chicago, replicating operations in Washington, D.C., which has also seen the federal government take control of the local police.
National Guard units sent without state approval are generally restricted to defending federal property and personnel. When Guard troops were deployed to Los Angeles in June over anti-U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement protests, they were confined to federal buildings and escort duties for immigration agents. In Washington, D.C., which is under federal jurisdiction, Guard units have conducted armed patrols alongside local police.

Chicago recorded 573 homicides in 2024, marking the 13th straight year Chicago has led the nation in total murders, according to Chicago Police Department data compiled by Wirepoints.
According to the Council on Criminal Justice's year-end 2024 update, aggravated assaults declined by 4% compared to 2023 but remained 4% higher than in 2019. The council reported that gun assaults fell 15%, though they were still 5% above 2019 levels, and that carjackings dropped 32% year-over-year, yet were 25% higher than in 2019.

Social media firestorm erupts after massive Georgia immigration raid: 'Taking bold action'
Source: Fox News • Published: 9/7/2025, 12:38:58 AM
Social media erupted across the political spectrum following Thursday's federal immigration raid at a Hyundai mega plant in Georgia that resulted in the arrests of about 475 suspects, most of whom were Korean nationals.
The raid, about 20 miles outside of Savannah, was part of a long-term investigation and is one of many notable worksite operations that have occurred amid the Trump administration's immigration crackdown. Hyundai officials said they do not believe any of their direct employees were arrested but said it would "comply with all laws and regulations."
LG Energy Solution, which also plays a role in the plant, also said it will work with authorities.
Some took aim at the fact that the factory was touted by former President Joe Biden, as both Democratic and Republican politicians have hailed the project as a win for American manufacturing. The EV manufacturing part of the facility is not believed to have been impacted, but the battery factory under construction was the focus of the multi-agency effort.

"Even when Democrats pretend to be America-First, they are secretly America Last. Every. Single. Time. That is truly unbelievable," scientist Matt Van Swol posted to X.
"We as an American company with legal workers are always cut out of those mega projects, because we are too expensive. Finally this problem gets addressed," Maik Peters, CEO of Pitco Engineering, posted.
"Time to pull the licenses of these construction companies for hiring illegals," another user wrote.

Others criticized the Trump administration, as the South Korean government also expressed concerns about the operation.
"Completely incredible. Lutnick and Trump brag about getting South Korea to invest billions in the U.S., then turn around and arrest South Koreans who were here temporarily in the U.S. to help Hyundai set up a factory in Georgia. The stupidity burns," writer James Surowiecki posted.
Rep. Nikema Williams, D-Ga., wrote that the raid was an "act of cruelty and injustice" by the Trump administration.
"Reportedly, U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents have also been wrongfully detained," she posted. "This administration is actively working to instill fear and chaos within our most marginalized communities. Due process is not optional, it is the law. The administration needs to follow it and abide by the constitutional rights of every worker affected."

In a statement to Fox News Digital, Rep. Buddy Carter, R-Ga., said Democrats enabled the illegal immigration issues in the U.S. "for far too long."
"That's no longer the case under President Trump and Operation Take Back America. I applaud the Trump Administration and our brave law enforcement officers for taking bold action to put American workers first and protect our communities from the scourge of illegal immigration," Carter wrote.
"For anyone who thinks they can take jobs from hardworking Americans and give them to illegal immigrants, take note: not under Donald Trump's watch."
