Scandal at the Coldplay Concert: CEO’s Wife Deletes Facebook After Viral Cheating Clip
In a dramatic turn of events that has captivated the internet, Megan Kerrigan Byron — the wife of Astronomer CEO Andy Byron — has deleted her Facebook profile after a now-viral video allegedly showed her husband in a compromising moment with a colleague at a Coldplay concert.
As of Thursday morning, Megan’s Facebook account — once filled with family memories and photos — had vanished from public view. According to observers, she initially removed her last name from her profile before taking the entire account offline.
A Public Spectacle That Went Viral
The controversy erupted after fans recorded a moment during Wednesday night’s Coldplay concert at Gillette Stadium in Boston. As frontman Chris Martin panned the “kiss cam” across the crowd, the camera landed on Andy Byron and his company’s Chief Human Resources Officer, Kristin Cabot. The two appeared close — swaying together with their arms wrapped around each other.
“Look at these two,” Martin remarked from the stage, prompting laughs and gasps from the audience. Cabot quickly turned around, while Byron appeared to duck away from view. “Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy,” Martin added, fueling even more speculation.
Fallout Spreads Across Social Media
Following the incident, Megan’s Facebook page was flooded with comments from users pointing to the alleged affair. Not long after, she took swift action — removing any mention of her married name and then disappearing from the platform entirely.
Neither Andy Byron nor Kristin Cabot has issued a public statement. Page Six reported that Andy was not immediately available for comment.
The Company Behind the Controversy
Both Byron and Cabot work at Astronomer, a New York-based artificial intelligence and data analytics firm reportedly valued at $1.2 billion. According to Andy’s LinkedIn profile, he stepped into the CEO role in July 2023. Cabot joined the company in November 2024 as Chief People Officer, a position typically responsible for overseeing company culture and workplace behavior.
Interestingly, a previously public LinkedIn post celebrating Cabot’s hiring — which praised her “exceptional leadership” and more than 20 years of HR experience — has since been quietly deleted.
Public Reactions: “Humiliated in Front of Thousands”
The online response has been swift and unfiltered. One user on X (formerly Twitter) wrote:
“I feel so bad for his wife and at the same time so happy they were humiliated like that in front of thousands of people.”
Another added:
“If she’s the Chief People Officer, does that mean she’ll be leading the investigation into her own misconduct?”
Many commenters suggested that the pair would never have gone viral “if they had just acted normally.”
