The camera woman who filmed the CEO of a billion-dollar company getting snug with his head of HR has spoken out over the mega-viral moment.

The video has amassed nearly 50 million views in the past day, with a massive fall out following in which internet detectives figured out that the pair are married - but not to each other.

Grace Springer was just a fan filming a funny moment at the Coldplay concert in Boston when she decided to upload the comedic clip to TikTok - with no idea of what would later unfold.

The New Jersey local said she felt bad for what she had done, but the pair will have to deal with the consequences of their actions.

“I had no idea who the couple was. Just thought I caught an interesting reaction to the kiss cam and decided to post it,” she told The US Sun.

“A part of me feels bad for turning these people’s lives upside down, but, play stupid games… win stupid prizes.

“I 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.

“I hope, for them, my video was a blessing in disguise.”

A big fan of the British band, Grace could have never imagined the gravity of what she had done when posting the video.

“It was definitely a hot topic, but no one knew who they were,” she said.

“When I posted late last night before bed it was picking up traction with a couple thousand views.

“I woke up to seven million. Now over 30 million. Overwhelmed to say the least.”
