A Coldplay concert recently turned into a global talking point—but not for the music. Andy Byron, former CEO of tech company Astronomer, was caught on camera kissing his Chief HR Officer, Kristin Cabot. The video went viral and exposed their alleged extramarital affair. But the real twist? It was all unintentionally filmed by Grace Springer, a Coldplay fan just hoping to see herself on the big screen.
Who shared the video?
Grace Springer is the woman behind the now-viral video, which has crossed 122 million views in under a week. Grace recently appeared on This Morning (UK) and revealed that she didn't plan to record anything scandalous.
'In the moment when I filmed it, I didn't think much of it, but of course, everyone was kind of chattering… There were over 50,000 people at the concert, so it was a hot topic,' Grace shared.
She had been filming herself on the Kiss Cam when she caught Andy and Kristin together. The footage stirred major buzz online after she posted it.
Did she do it for fame or money?
Contrary to assumptions, Grace hasn't earned a single penny from the video. 'I've actually made no money from the video itself or the views. It's not monetised,' she clarified. She said she simply thought it was an interesting clip and had no clue about the people involved at the time.
Does she regret posting it online?
In the same interview, Grace expressed mixed feelings. While she sympathised with Andy's wife, Megan Kerrigan, she also defended her actions.
'I definitely feel for Andy's wife Megan, his family and everyone else who has been hurt in the process… But as I said, there were over 50,000 people, and I'm not the only one who caught it on camera. If it wasn't me who uploaded it, someone else would have.'
Her closing words were blunt and said, 'Play stupid games… win stupid prizes.'
What has Andy Byron's wife said?
Megan Kerrigan, who was married to Andy, has now responded, through a new Facebook account that claims to be hers. Her original account was deleted shortly after the news broke. In a heartfelt statement, Megan expressed her shock and pain and said, 'This is the most difficult moment of my life. I never imagined I would be thrust into the public spotlight in this way. I never imagined that my husband would betray me.'
She added that their marriage was built on trust, and every time Andy said he had work, she believed him—only to find out later that he was with another woman.
