Cabot has fresh crisis PR experience: she resigned after being filmed kissing her boss, Astronomer CEO Andy Byron, during a Coldplay concert.
Though she was divorced, internet users assumed she was destroying a family. She later blamed alcohol and said she received up to 600 calls a day and dozens of threats.
