Let’s Talk About the Kiss Cam, Infidelity, and Accountability
There’s been an ongoing debate lately about the so-called Kiss Cam moment—where Andy Byron was caught on camera at a public event, cozying up with his colleague Kristin Cabot. Some people are defending him, saying things like, “If you’re married, you shouldn’t judge” or “Let people live their lives.”
But let me ask this: If you are married, why even be in a committed relationship if you can’t respect its boundaries? Why make vows or build a life with someone, only to dishonor it so publicly?
If Andy Byron wanted to have an affair, then he should’ve had the guts to be honest with his wife, rather than lie, sneak around, and publicly parade someone else at a concert. And let’s not forget—he didn’t look uncomfortable being exposed. He looked unbothered, as if his wife and family didn’t even exist.
As for Kristin Cabot—this isn’t just about the man. You, too, made a choice. A choice to be involved with a married man. A choice that affects not just a spouse but children, families, reputations. If you’re bold enough to be in public with him, then why hide your face when the camera pans over? Where’s that confidence now?
Let’s be clear: This is not just about private behavior—it’s about public betrayal. Especially when this kind of affair happens in the workplace, and promotions, raises, or opportunities are tied to it—that’s not just morally questionable, it’s deeply unfair to everyone else working with integrity.
And no—you don’t get to preach about “grace” and “everyone makes mistakes” unless you’ve been on the other side. Unless you’ve been the betrayed spouse, lied to, gaslit, stripped of trust, dignity, and respect—you simply cannot grasp the kind of emotional wreckage this causes!
Affairs happen. But when you parade them publicly while still married, the expect people to react. And if we continue to brush this behavior off, especially when it affects workplaces and families, we normalize deception, not accountability.
Respect in relationships is not old-fashioned—it’s foundational. If you can’t stay committed, say so. Don’t steal someone’s time, trust, or future under false pretenses.
Marriage isn’t the problem. Lack of character is.
“Trust in a marriage is like the lens of a camera—once it’s scratched by lies and betrayal, every memory is captured with a blur. You can still take pictures, but you’ll always see the damage.” Rennu Dhillon
