CEO’s Wife Deletes Social Media Amid Viral Cheating Incident

Megan Kerrigan Byron, the wife of astronomer and CEO Andy Byron, quickly removed her social media accounts after a video surfaced showing her husband seemingly engaging in inappropriate behavior at a Coldplay concert. Her Facebook page, which included family photos, was no longer accessible as of Thursday morning, and she had removed her surname from her profile shortly before deleting it.

The footage captured Andy Byron allegedly kissing his company’s Chief Human Resources Officer, Kristin Cabot, during the concert in Boston. Witnesses reported seeing the two with their arms around each other as frontman Chris Martin played the “kiss cam,” with Martin teasing the crowd and suggesting the pair might be having an affair. Cabot promptly turned away, and Byron appeared to duck out of sight.

The incident sparked widespread reactions, with many commenting on social media. Some expressed sympathy for Byron’s wife, while others criticized the pair’s behavior, stating that their viral moment was the result of acting improperly. One user remarked, “If they acted normally, this wouldn’t have gone viral,” highlighting how the public’s perception of their conduct fueled the attention.

Andy Byron assumed the role of CEO for his company, a New York-based AI and data firm valued at $1.2 billion, in July 2023. Kristin Cabot was hired in November 2024, with her LinkedIn profile, which praised her leadership and extensive HR experience, now deleted. Reports indicate that the duo worked closely within the company, raising questions about workplace conduct given the nature of the incident.

The viral video and social media comments have brought increased scrutiny on the executives’ personal and professional lives. Several reactions questioned the professionalism of the involved parties, emphasizing that their actions in public may have contributed to the rapid spread of the footage.
