Andy Byron OnlyFans scandal exposes secret messages and spending, leading to resignation and public debate on ethics.
Andy Byron, the former CEO of Astronomer, became the center of a public scandal after a “Kiss-Cam” moment at a Coldplay concert went viral. Soon after, Byron’s wife, Megan Kerrigan, allegedly leaked private messages revealing his extensive interactions and spending with multiple OnlyFans creators.
Reports claim Byron spent over $250,000 on explicit content and video calls, primarily with creator Sophie Rain and following the revelations, Byron resigned from Astronomer, while the company has stayed silent amid the growing media storm.
The controversy began on July 16 during a Coldplay concert at Gillette Stadium in Massachusetts. The jumbotron caught Byron and Astronomer’s Chief People Officer, Kristin Cabot, in a close embrace. Lead singer Chris Martin joked, “Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy,” which quickly made the video viral. Both Byron and Cabot were placed on leave and eventually resigned. This public moment marked the start of a deeper investigation into Byron’s private life.

Shortly after, Kerrigan reportedly leaked screenshots of Byron’s messages with OnlyFans star Sophie Rain. Byron allegedly used a secret Instagram account (a “Finsta”) to communicate with Rain and possibly other creators. The messages suggest Byron spent up to $40,000 on Rain alone.
In one exchange, Byron wrote, “All good, most guys I talk to are married,” to which Rain responded with a winky face and a quick video call invitation. This leak triggered intense online discussions about privacy and ethics.
In a statement to The Blast, Sophie Rain avoided confirming Byron as a client but sympathized with Kerrigan, calling Byron “just a bump in the road” and offering support. Rain also expressed support for the Coldplay concert’s role in exposing the scandal, condemning cheating in strong terms.
Meanwhile, Camilla Araujo, founder of the influencer collective Bop House, alleged Byron spent over $250,000 across multiple creators linked to her group. Despite the escalating claims, Kerrigan has kept a low profile at their estate in Kennebunk, Maine, and has yet to comment publicly.
