Sparks are definitely flying!
I’m sure by now you’ve definitely heard about the Coldplay concert scandal involving both the Astronomer CEO and Head of HR getting caught on the “kiss-cam” at a Coldplay concert that revealed their affair. Well the Coldplay fan that filmed the video that went viral, Grace Springer, has spoken out about how capturing that video and sharing it has changed her life.
In an interview with Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary on the U.K show This Morning, the 28-year-old Grace Springer revealed the details on how the viral moment has effected her life:
“I was hoping to see myself on the big screen, and I love to capture moments, so that’s why my phone was out in the first place,… In the moment when I filmed it, I didn’t think much of it, but of course, everyone was kind of chattering. There was over 50,000 people at the concert, so it was a hot topic… 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 was over 50,000 people and I’m not the only one that caught it on camera, so if it wasn’t me who uploaded it, I’m sure someone else would have… I’ve actually made no money from the video itself or the views… It’s not monetised.”
But it’s not just Grace that’s had some aftermath, CEO of Astronomer Andy Byron, has since tendered his resignation from the company and the head of HR, Kristin Cabot, has been on personal leave since the event.
