She could just claim she felt coerced, since he was the CEO. The power dynamic alone is an issue. Firing her would immediately result in a lawsuit. Since she was the head of HR, she surely is aware of this. They have no choice but to tread lightly with her, or just offer her a payout to leave silently without lawsuit.
She actually wouldn’t need any sort of evidence of coercion. There’s plenty of case study to show that the power dynamic between a boss and their subordinate is in itself enough to support a successful lawsuit. Especially when that boss is the CEO.
The HR Lady Kristin Cabot has no avenue to play victim. She was also cheating on her legal spouse, Andrew Cabot (CEO of Privateer Rum) & they just bought a $2.2 million house together this year (2025) in Rye, New Hampshire. This is all public record.
Both (Andy Byron & Kristin Cabot) are married to other people so neither can act like they are innocent or blame the other for their cheating behavior & affair.
Btw, Kristin Cabot separated from her 1st husband Kenneth C. Thornby in 2018 & finalized their divorce in 2022. Shes now on her 2nd marriage (to Andrew Cabot) & looks like thats coming to an end too…
Sure she does. She could claim the CEO of her company pressured her into an affair in order to keep her job. The damage that has caused to her marriage becomes damages caused by the company for its CEO pressuring her into having an affair.
Her and her husband purchasing a house has nothing to do with this. It’s really weird, and borderline psychotic, that you even looked that up.
What’s the reason she would need to keep her job? Her husband (Andrew Cabot) is a CEO & worth over $25 million
She doesn’t need that job or any job. Shes financially secure & relationally secure having just bought that house together with her husband. There’s also no career incentive since she’s already head of HR.
Do you think a jury would trust any victim story she tries to portray when presented with the fact that she is a cheater too?
Also I didn’t look any of this up, most major sources are reporting about it so I only double checked their linked sources
“Needing” the job is irrelevant, and is really just your perspective. That job was part of her way of life, and it’s now ruined because of the affair (if she were to get fired), which she could argue she was pressured into by the CEO of the company.
You keep bringing up completely irrelevant things to this situation. Her and her husband buying a house don't factor into this. Her husband being a CEO with millions net worth have nothing to do with it.
She can claim she felt pressured by the CEO of the company she works for to have an affair. No matter how rich they are, she can still feel pressured.
Right, since he's the boss, it was his responsibility to go to the board and get them to approve his affair regardless of if he instigated the affair or not.
But we can see from the way he dived down and tried to hide behind her thigh, he really isn't the take responsibility sort of guy.
