Dubai: Remember the Coldplay kiss cam<\/a> incident that broke the internet last summer? The woman at the centre of it all is now cashing in.<\/p>\n

Kristin Cabot<\/a> will be the keynote speaker at a crisis PR conference in Washington, D.C. this April. Tickets to hear her speak cost between $750 and $875.<\/p>\n

She’s turning her nightmare into a masterclass on damage control.<\/p>\n

The scandal that started it all<\/p>\n

Last summer, Cabot attended a Coldplay concert. The kiss cam landed on her and Andy Byron, the CEO of Astronomer, the company where she worked as chief people officer.<\/p>\n

The two were caught on camera getting cosy. The footage went viral almost immediately.<\/p>\n

The internet did what the internet does best: it made assumptions and launched attacks. Cabot was immediately labelled a homewrecker. Death threats poured in.<\/p>\n
