“No, so I wanted to share that too. So we were all like dancing, and you know when there's music playing and you're talking, you're kind of whispering in people's ears or yelling in their ears. We were talking with my friends too, and we didn't hear Chris Martin say we're going to pan the audience. Like we never heard him warn that he was doing that and we never heard him say they must be shy or they're having an affair. I had no idea he said that until like days later or the next day. I don't remember from it was a blur after that night. But I didn't know that at all. I whipped around like Oprah, if we were at a Celtics game and we got put on the Jumbotron, I'm going to whip around. I'm not a Jumbotron girl, even on my best days. It's not my thing. So I would have probably done some version of that. But in that moment, I was just horrified at.”

“That's me. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. There was like a split second where it was like almost, I mean, to me. It's like surreal. I can't even really remember, but I do remember looking and being like, oh my God, like I said worse than that. I made it in my head. But my initial thought was, oh my God, Andrew's here. And my second thought was, oh my God, I'm in the arms of my boss and I'm the head of HR. Like this is a really bad look.”

“Yeah, that was a moment of total horror is really the best way I can describe it. My immediate thought was, oh my God, my husband's in the building. He was there with someone else, and I knew that. And that was great and fine. But he and I were in the midst of our separation, incredibly amicable. Like to this day, he's been the one of the biggest supporters of me through all of this. He's an incredible man.”

“It also, I should note, it felt really anonymous, and I feel like I need to explain that too because it didn't look that way on the video. Where we were was at the complete opposite end of Gillette Stadium from the stage. We were in an area called, I think it was called the pavilion, but it's a big general, it's a sectioned off area where there's no seats, it's general admission in this section, and it holds about 250 people. So we were in that area and we were kind of up at the front of the, near the railing, but we were with a group and with friends. So we were dancing and talking, and it was really dark. In any way that we were risking being. And it wasn't even calculated where we thought to ourselves, oh, no one's looking. put our hands on each other. It wasn't that. It was just, it just was a natural.”

And my only point in mentioning it to Lisa Miller had I known what would have happened that, you know, because suddenly I'm blaming it on alcohol and suddenly none of that is true. I simply mentioned it to like set the tone of the vibe. You're at a concert at summer, a couple high noons, you're dancing, you're having fun. Everybody, maybe except for you, Gail, has done that and knows what I mean. It's just an easy fun feeling. And that was the vibe that we had. And that's why I shared it.

“We did. That was where we started to build a bit of a stronger connection. And I was really surprised when he told me, I just, we didn't talk a lot about our personal lives prior to that, so I didn't expect to hear that from him. Right. He had been married a long time, so I just assumed all was well. So leading up to the concert, like at that point, we started talking a lot more about personal things and kids and how it's going and all of that, in addition to the busy and frequent work conversations.”

“Andyer and my boss at the time, he and I had a very close working relationship for anyone that's worked in tech and a high growth startup, they'll understand that the chief people officer and the CEO are partners. We work side by side around the clock. It was a high growth startup that was growing at 100% year over year. We were hiring like crazy. And so we were really in it together and spent a ton of time together. And it was about around the time that Andrew and I, my husband had separated and Andy, the same name, so forgive me.

“Yeah, first I want to thank you for having me. I was reluctant to come, but I'm really grateful to be here. For me, my mom always taught us silence as acceptance. I think I mentioned that in the article. And for me, And my family, what happened was not okay. And I felt like by remaining silent, it was somehow accepting what had happened. And I really felt also there's a lot of people out there that experience something similar that didn't either have the strength to come forward or were too traumatized or lost their lives due to some of the things I experienced. And I feel a sense of responsibility for those people to speak out and share what it's really like when people carelessly comment forward, click, like, and the damage that it can really do.”
