Grace Springer, the woman who posted the viral video of former Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and HR chief Kristin Cabot from the Coldplay concert in Boston, busted a myth that people are thinking about her — that she is minting millions as the video has gone viral. Springer said she made no money from the viral video or for the views and it’s not monetized. “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,” Grace said.Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot were in each other’s embrace when they got featured on the jumbotron at the concert. When they saw themselves on the screen, they quickly ducked and it would have been buried had the video of the exact moment been not captured by Springer and posted it on her TikTok. The video went viral in no time after keen eyes of social media users found out that the man was a big-time CEO of a major tech company and the woman was not his wife, but the company HR. Springer said part of her felt bad for the repurcussion that happened but she believes others too had the video and anyone could have posted it. “I definitely feel for Andy’s wife Megan, his family and everyone else who has been hurt in the process,” she said. “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.”After Astronomer announced investigation into the incident, Andy Byron resigned from the post. Both Byron and Cabot’s personal and professional lives went upside down but they did not issue any statement.
