The young woman who accidentally exposed the 'Coldplay' couple, 'consciously uncoupling' at the concert, says she never meant to cause trouble for anyone, she just thought it was an interesting reaction to the moment they were caught apparently cuddling during the gig.
28 year old Grace Springer, filmed the now-viral moment Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and his chief human resources officer, Kristin Cabot, were caught looking shocked and mortified, after the camera panned across the crowd and stopped at their group, accidentally exposing the couple, now alleged to have been having an affair, to the entire stadium on the giant screens.

Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin joked: 'Oh look at these two, either they are having an affair or they are camera shy'.

Little did he know, and neither did Grace Springer when she posted the video to her social media, that the fallout from the moment was going to change the lives of not only the 'camera shy' couple but their extended families and work colleagues.
Grace woke up the next morning to discover her 14 second video had over 50 million views and the viral moment would have huge ramifications.

However, Grace said, while she meant no ill will, she had one message for the canoodling couple – 'A part of me feels bad for turning these people's lives upside down, but, play stupid games, win stupid prizes'.
The awkward video showed Byron and Cabot scrambling to hide their faces after the jumbotron panned across their part of the stadium.
'F–king hell, it's me,' Byron appeared to say in the video, while his HR chief appeared to mouth, 'This is awkward,' before ducking down behind the seats at the stadium in Boston.
Since then the pair have been 'put on leave' by their company Astronomer while they conduct an investigation into the episode.
Earlier, a fake apology was doing the rounds on social media, purporting to be from Andy Byron, but as of yet, neither Byron nor Cabot have made any statements to clarify the situation which has led to this life changing moment for the couple concerned.

The viral video has also spawned some hilarious memes on TikTok with witty users taking to the platform to produce such lines as 'Coldplay haven't had a single in years, but managed to produce two in one night' along with other hilarious quips in response to the 14 second clip.
