The Viral Scandal: What Happened?

The “Coldplay kiss cam scandal” erupted after Andy Byron, then CEO of Astronomer, was spotted on the stadium Jumbotron embracing Kristin Cabot, his company’s HR head, at a Coldplay concert in Boston. The video quickly went viral, triggering public scrutiny both for the company and Byron’s personal life. Astronomer placed both Byron and Cabot on administrative leave before Byron ultimately resigned. This came after Megan Kerrigan changed her name on Facebook.

• Return to Social Media: A new Facebook account under the name Megan Kerrigan (or Megan Kerrigan Byron) appeared three days later, posting emotional messages.
• Content of the Notes: Alleged statements thanked supporters for their kindness and explained her feelings of betrayal and public humiliation. Megan (or the account in her name) emphasized needing privacy, healing, and warned followers to ignore any accounts asking for money in her name.
• Key Excerpts (as reported):
  • “The past few days have been incredibly heavy… I truly felt alone, like no one would understand or stand by me.”
  • “The support has touched me in ways I can’t explain.”
