127 million visits in six days for this viral video: we see Andy Byron, Astronomer’s CEO, hugged a woman during a “kiss camera” during a Coldplay concert in Boston. The two immediately leave the camera field when their image is projected on the giant screen, which suggests adultery.
The author of the video, Grace Springer, told the British program this Monday, July 21, behind the scene of the moment. If it was her video that turned social networks, she believes that “someone else” could have shared this moment. “There were more than 50,000 people and I am not the only one who has filmed it,” he recalls.
“I quickly went to something else”
If Grace Springer filmed the moment, it was above all because “he hoped to see himself on the big screen.” “I love to capture moments, that’s why I launched my phone,” he recalls. But she does not immediately realize the viral potential of the video. “It’s only after the concert” after “having reports from the concert with friends” that realizes what he recorded.
“The Coldplay concerts are magical, so I quickly went to something else and appreciated the rest of the night,” he explains, adding that I have not won the slightest penny in this story.
With our British colleagues, she shares her “compassion with Andy’s wife (…), her family and the injured” for this sequence, but does not experience regrets. “A part of me feels bad when bothering the life of these people, but we reap what we sow,” he explains to the sun. Grace Springer “expects their partners to heal this and have a second chance to find the happiness they deserve.”
After this sequence, Andy Byron resigned. “As indicated above, Astronomer undertakes to respect the values and culture that have guided it since its creation,” said the US company through A press release this Saturday, July 19.
