The Coldplay fan who unintentionally exposed Astronomer CEO Andy Byronâs alleged affair with Kristin Cabot hasnât made a dime from the now-viral kiss cam video.

Springer also explained how she managed to capture such a life-changing moment, saying she
âwas hoping to see [herself] on the big screenâ because she loves âto capture moments.â
âIn the moment when I filmed it, I didnât 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,â she added, referencing the bandâs Spheres World Tour show at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass., July 16.
âBut it wasnât until after the concert, where I was debriefing with my friends and I said âLetâs review the footage, letâs see if it really looks that bad.â And I think it does.â
The New Jersey native further addressed whether she has any regrets posting the video online as it boasts more than 122 million views in less than a week.

âI definitely feel for Andyâs wife Megan, his family and everyone else who has been hurt in the process,â she said. âBut as I said, there was over 50,000 people and Iâm not the only one that caught it on camera, so if it wasnât me who uploaded it, Iâm sure someone else would have.â
Her statement echoed what she told The Sun last week when asked about turning Byron and Cabotâs âlives upside down.â
âI had no idea who the couple was. Just thought I caught an interesting reaction to the kiss cam and decided to post it,â she said. âA part of me feels bad for turning these peopleâs lives upside down, but, play stupid games⊠win stupid prizes.
âI 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,â she continued. âI hope, for them, my video was a blessing in disguise.â

Last week, Springerâs video went viral when she captured a loved-up couple being featured on the kiss cam during Coldplayâs concert. When the man and the woman noticed they were being recorded on the big screen, they jumped away from each other and attempted to hide their faces.
Frontman Chris Martin reacted to their strange behavior by saying into the mic, âEither theyâre having an affair or theyâre just very shy.â
The embarrassed musician then added, âHope we didnât do something wrong.â
The two were then identified as Astronomerâs CEO and head of HR, who appear to be married to other people.

âEither theyâre having an affair or theyâre just very shy,â Chris Martin said at the time.
Shortly after the video began circling social media, Andyâs wife, Megan Kerrigan Byron, changed her name on Facebook before deactivating her account. Kristin, for her part, appears to be married to the CEO of Privateer Rum, Andrew Cabot.
Astronomer immediately launched a formal investigation into Kristinâs alleged affair with her boss and they were put on leave.
However, this weekend, the company announced that Andy had resigned from his role due to the scandal.
âAs stated previously, 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, and recently, that standard was not met,â a rep for the tech company told Page Six Saturday.
