The Coldplay fan behind the viral kiss cam moment that seemingly exposed a CEO’s alleged affair with his staffer has defended posting the video with a blunt lesson, “Play stupid games … win stupid prizes!”
New Jersey resident Grace Springer is speaking out about her wild video, which has amassed more than 30 million views, telling The Sun she never expected her footage to become so popular but hopes it can be a learning moment for those involved.
She explains … “A part of me feels bad for turning these people’s lives upside down, but, play stupid games… win stupid prizes.”
Grace says she hopes the allegedly betrayed CEO’s wife can heal following the devastating incident and get “a second chance at the happiness they deserve with their future still in front of them.”
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you are likely aware that Andy Byron, the CEO of Astronomer, was allegedly caught having an affair with Kristin Cabot, the head of human resources, during Coldplay’s concert in Boston on Wednesday night. This incident occurred when the kiss cam focused on them while they were cuddling.
Both Andy and Kristin appeared mortified and quickly ducked out of view, prompting Coldplay’s frontman, Chris Martin, to suggest that they might either be camera shy or involved in an affair, given their awkward reaction to being filmed.
Reports indicate that Kristin is single, but Andy is married to Megan Kerrigan Byron, who has since removed his last name from her social media profiles, according to various online sources.
An apology statement that was believed to have been issued by Andy has gone viral; however, his company confirmed to TMZ on Thursday that it is fake.
