After the cheating scandal, the wife of CEO Andy Byron has officially moved out of their home.
A week has passed since the story of the CEO and his subordinate showing affection on the Coldplay kiss cam sparked controversy, but the incident remains a hot topic. Recently, the New York Post reported that Megan Kerrigan Byron—the wife of Andy Byron—has moved out of the house they shared in Northborough, Massachusetts, and traveled about 160 km to the north to stay in Kennebunk, Maine.
It’s known that Megan is staying with her sister at a beachfront villa worth $2.4 million. The house in Massachusetts that she shared with Andy was valued at about $1.4 million. Since the scandal broke, Megan has made no public appearance or statement. Instead, she quietly left the home and has now begun living elsewhere.
Over the past week, many family members and friends have come to visit and support Megan. No one has seen or heard from Andy, and it is unknown whether he has tried to contact his wife. Notably, Megan has also made several moves online. She removed the surname “Byron” from her Facebook account, returned to using her maiden name “Kerrigan,” and later temporarily locked her account.
The scandal started when Andy Byron—CEO of Astronomer—was caught hugging and kissing Kristin Cabot, the company’s Chief Human Resources Officer, during the Coldplay concert. The video of the kiss cam went viral, sparking intense backlash on social media. Immediately afterward, Andy Byron resigned as CEO of Astronomer. The company appointed Co-founder and Chief Product Officer Pete DeJoy as the interim CEO. Kristin Cabot has not resigned and is still working at Astronomer.
Although Megan has not spoken out, many fake accounts claiming to be her have emerged online. However, none of them have been verified or confirmed to be genuinely run by her.
CEO Andy Byron has submitted his resignation and Astronomer’s board of directors has accepted it. Astronomer’s co-founder and chief product officer, Pete DeJoy, will take over as interim CEO. HR director Kristin Cabot remains silent, with no further information available.
