A lawyer has explained whether the CEO at the heart of the Coldplay kiss cam scandal can sue the band.
The woman behind the viral Coldplay concert clip—yes, that one—has finally revealed what went down after she stopped filming.
Viral Coldplay clip described.
Grace Springer, who innocently filmed the kiss cam moment, had no idea it would detonate across the internet like a tabloid torpedo.
Her TikTok, posted under @instaagraace, has now racked up more than 60 million views—turning an awkward moment into a viral enigma.
At the center of the clip? A man and a woman at the Coldplay gig who reacted way too weirdly to being shown on the big screen.
The man drops out of frame like he’s dodging subpoenas, while the woman covers her face and spins away. Romantic? Not quite.
Coldplay frontman Chris Martin didn’t help when he quipped, “Either they are having an affair or they’re just really shy.”
Internet speculation clarified.
Internet detectives quickly pounced, claiming the duo are Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot.
Here’s the catch: Byron is reportedly married. Cabot? Divorced. Neither have commented, confirmed, or denied anything.
Theories swirled online: Are they cheating? Are they coworkers? Are they really who people think they are?
So far, Byron and Cabot have kept lips sealed. No denial. No confirmation. Just speculation—and a silence louder than the crowd.
The body language in the clip is too telling. Covering faces? Vanishing post-cam? It’s not giving “just shy.”
Commenters didn’t hold back. Some called it “a cheater’s nightmare.” Others claimed it was “the most suspicious behavior ever seen on a jumbotron.”
What started as a fan video at a concert is now the internet’s favorite mini soap opera.
Audience members and TikTok watchers alike are dissecting every second of that footage like it’s the Zapruder film.
One commenter wrote, “He ducked like his wife was watching.” Another: “That was NOT a normal reaction.”
Grace’s version of events confirmed.
Grace told LADbible she never expected the video to blow up: “I had no clue who the couple was.”
“I thought it was just funny,” she said. “But my friends kept saying something was off and told me to post it.”
Apparently, it wasn’t just Grace’s crew raising eyebrows. “It was kind of the talk of the concert,” she recalled.
“I thought they were just shy,” she said. “But when I rewatched it and saw his face—I got that suspicious feeling.”
“As soon as the screen cut off, they disappeared,” Grace revealed. “Chris tried to save the moment and moved on to another couple.”
Martin reportedly muttered, “I hope we didn’t just do something really bad,” after the pair dipped out.
Grace says the viral moment put her in a tough spot emotionally—especially as speculation spiraled out of her control.
“At first, I felt a little guilty,” she said. “But honestly, people deserve the truth. I just captured a moment—I didn’t create it.”
“I really just feel for the partners,” she added. “They deserve respect. They shouldn’t waste time on someone shady.”
“Unfortunately, I think a lot of women, including myself, have been in that situation,” she said. “You’d want to be told.”
“It doesn’t mean people can’t change,” she added. “But cheating’s not it. Own it. Be better.”
That’s the big reveal: Grace says they left immediately, almost as if they knew they’d been caught on a global stage.
“He did something sweet with another couple after,” Grace said. “But everyone was still whispering about those two.”
It’s worth noting: Grace never outed anyone. She just posted a clip. The web did all the detective work.
This Coldplay moment has gone far beyond the music.
Still, until either party confirms or denies, it’s all just internet theory—mixed with an uncomfortable amount of body language analysis.
From a jumbotron kiss cam to possible affair scandal, this moment is now internet canon.
With 60 million views and counting, this Coldplay couple saga is proof that when the internet sees something suspicious—it never looks away.
And while the CEO has now stepped down, it’s not so easy to fire Kristin Cabot.
A legal expert said it’s difficult justifying firing an employee for ‘ugly’ headlines.
Kristin is on leave, but may not lose her job completely. Attorney Nicole Brenecki said:
“In a real-world big company, you can’t just fire someone because the headlines are ugly,”
“There are likely contracts, internal investigations, and legal issues involved.
“If HR greenlit what happened with Coldplay, and there is a supporting paper trail, heads will likely roll. It just might take a few more days before the axe drops.”
Lawyer Ray Zambrano also weighed in on the matter, dismissing the pair’s chances of suing Coldplay.
“First, it would immediately be struck down as a restriction on creative speech and Coldplay’s ability to be artistic during their performances.
“Second, Byron and Cabot waived their right to privacy when they decided to attend a public event, so their public display of affection is on them, not on Coldplay. They just got caught.”
