Kiss cam ‘cheater’ giving ‘taking back the narrative’ speech for $875 a seat

Woman behind viral Coldplay 'kiss cam' moment speaks out
  • Kristin Cabot, an HR executive caught up in a Kiss Cam scandal last year, is giving a speech on “taking back the narrative” at a conference charging $875 per seat.
