Coldplay fan who accidentally exposed CEO's affair, earns THIS MUCH from viral video
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.

'Kiss cam scandal': Astronomer's HR head Kristin Cabot and husband took $1.6 million loan, what happens if they divorce; 'lawyers' take
Kristin Cabot and her husband Andrew took out a $1.6M mortgage for a coastal New Hampshire home amid Coldplay kiss cam scandal. (Picture Credit: X) New details about Astronomer's HR head Kristin Cabot has emerged in the ongoing fallout from the viral Coldplay 'Kiss Cam' scandal. Astronomer CEO Andy Byron has resigned from his position after the scandal, but Cabot is still on leave. Now an online report reveals that Cabot and her husband Andrew Cabot took $1.6 million mortgage just before five months from the viral incident. According to a report by The Sun, the couple mortgaged their luxury home on Rye for the amount. It is a four-bedroom estate located near the coast. This new information raises questions about the complexities they could face if their marriage were to end in divorce, according to legal experts. What happens if the Cabot couple file for divorce According to a report by The Sun, the Kristin Cabot and her husband Andrew Cabot, the CEO of Privateer Rum obtained 1 $1.6 million mortgage from Morgan Stanley in March this year. The coupled borrowed the amount in lieu of their $2.2 million property on the New Hampshire cost. However, after the viral 'Kiss Cam' incident which happened at the recent Coldplay concert there are speculations that the couple might head for a divorce. Now legal experts explain what will happen to the property if the couple files for divorce. As reported by The Sun, legal experts suggest that a shared mortgage can definitely complicate the divorce proceedings. If the couple were divorce, then both of them will remain legally responsible for the payments related to mortgage. The experts also suggest that the most easiest solution is to sell the property. The couple can sell the house and divide the amount after paying off the mortgage. On the other hand, one spouse can also refinance the mortgage solely in their name, taking on full financial responsibility for the loan. Also, the spouse who wishes to keep the property could "buy out" the other's share of the equity, often by refinancing or using other assets. Attorney William Cafaro told The Sun that high-value loans like this often become 'leverage points' in divorce negotiations. 'It's not just about who gets the house—it's about who can afford to keep it,' he said. AI Masterclass for Students. Upskill Young Ones Today!– Join Now

Kiss Cam whammy made us chuckle, but it has triggered my bonk ban fixation
Kiss Cam, the harbinger of doom that picks out smooching couples in a crowd and projects them for everyone to see, brought out the ugly truth for us all. Every workplace hosts a dodgy relationship, and that hurts the rest of us. I can tell you from personal experience in both newspapers and universities. The relationship, even when consensual, damages how work works. I have zero idea why workplaces can't institute a bonk ban. Sure, at the same level and with no chain of command issues, there's barely a risk – except for the one where you can say to a trusted colleague: Geez, that bloke [you're rooting] is utterly useless. When advocating for workplace bonk bans, I've been reprimanded by former students who tell me that work is the only place they meet people. My advice? Get out more. We could and should emulate prime ministers Malcolm Turnbull and Anthony Albanese. Turnbull imposed the bonk ban after the chaos of Barnaby Joyce's love life. Albanese continued the policy because it was the sensible thing to do. My god, I loved watching the musical chairs among staffers in the wake of the first round of BB. Why does workplace bonking hurt the rest of us? Here are my own personal experiences. Exhibit A. Let's call him Leaden Fool. He had come along to an event I'd organised. He'd spotted a gorgeous young talent and asked for contact details. A few months later, the young thing got a job with us. They then embarked on a relationship that both denied ever existed. Exhausting. They backed each other up in every single crucial decision made. There was never any room for discussion. If they weren't bonking, they were certainly barracking for each other in every way possible. One has gone on to bigger things, the other consigned to the dustbin of history. But it took a long time and damaged people and processes along the way. Loading But probably my least favourite experience of working with a couple was working with a throuple (strictly speaking, throuples are consensual all ways). Anyhow, this drunken sleaze was bonking two junior reporters in the same period of time. The sweeties apparently had no idea, although all the other junior reporters knew because, well, journalists are trained observers unless they are in a sex haze. That didn't end well either. And there were civilians hurt in the process who should have had the chance to grieve in private. Megan Kerrigan didn't get a chance to grieve in private. She discovered the bad news when everyone else did, when millions of others did. Her husband, Andy Byron, and his, ahem, date, Kristin Cabot, were caught on Kiss Cam at a Coldplay concert. Sure, it's easy to get swept up in what the Conservatorium's Dr Brad Fuller describes to me as looping chords, shimmering guitars and falsetto vocals, both intimate and epic. But you could tell, even under the veil of shame, these two knew each other. In a biblical sense.

Woman who exposed tech CEO's alleged affair at Coldplay concert stands by posting viral video
NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles! The Coldplay concertgoer who posted a viral video of a CEO allegedly cozying up with his head of human resources on the band's "Kiss Cam" this week, says a part of her "feels bad" for posting the awkward moment but thinks the couple's actions were their own responsibility. "I had no idea who the couple was," Grace Springer told The U.S. Sun Friday. "Just thought I caught an interesting reaction to the kiss cam and decided to post it. "A part of me feels bad for turning these people's lives upside down, but, play stupid games … win stupid prizes." Andy Byron, CEO of tech firm Astronomer, is now under formal investigation by the company's board after he was allegedly caught with his arms around the company's HR chief, Kristin Cabot, at a Coldplay concert Wednesday night. COLDPLAY KISS CAM TRIGGERS 'FORMAL INVESTIGATION' INTO ASTRONOMER CEO ANDY BYRON AND HR HEAD KRISTIN CABOT The couple quickly stopped their embrace and attempted to hide their faces when they were shown on the concert's jumbotron. Springer filmed the odd moment on her phone and later posted it online. Coldplay frontman Chris Martin joked after the pair separated that they were "either having an affair or just very shy." The company put out a statement after the incident Friday, writing on social media, "Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding. Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability," the company shared. "The Board of Directors has initiated a formal investigation into this matter, and we will have additional details to share very shortly." Later Friday, Astronomer said Byron had been placed on leave. "Cofounder and Chief Product Officer Pete DeJoy is currently serving as interim CEO given Andy Byron has been placed on leave. We will share more details as appropriate in the coming days," Astronomer wrote on social media. BILLY JOEL ADMITS AFFAIR MADE HIM FEEL 'LIKE A HOMEWRECKER,' SAYS HE DESERVED BEING 'PUNCHED IN THE NOSE' Fox News confirmed Cabot and her ex-husband filed for divorce in 2018, and court documents appear to show their divorce was finalized in 2022. According to New Hampshire property records, Kristin and Andrew Cabot purchased a home as a married couple in April 2024. No divorce records have been found for Byron, who appears to still be married. "I hope their partners can heal from this and get a second chance at the happiness they deserve with their future still in front of them," Springer told the Sun. "I hope, for them, my video was a blessing in disguise."

"When I posted late last night before bed, it was picking up traction with a couple thousand views," she said. "I woke up to 7 million. Now over 30 million. Overwhelmed to say the least."
