Astronomer CEO Andy Bryon: Megan Byron deactivates social media accounts after viral cheating scandal

The wife of the under-siege Astronomer CEO has taken steps to distance herself from the scandal as social media posts and imagery of herself and her family disappear a rapid rate.

Lead singer of Coldplay Chris Martin innocently created one of the biggest viral moments in the world this week after the ‘kiss-cam’ at the band’s Boston gig zeroed in on Andy Byron, who is the head of tech giant Astronomer, with his arms draped around a woman.

“Oh look at these two. Come on, you’re okay. Oh, what? Either they’re having an affair or they’re very shy” Martin said to the cheering crowd.

The problem was that Mr Byron was hugging the HR boss at Astronomer, Kristin Cabot, who is not his wife.

Mr Byron is married to Megan Kerrigan Byron and the couple have two children.

Megan and Andy Byron reportedly live in New York with their two sons, and according to social media credits Megan is an Associate Director of Lower School & The Hope Graham Program Admission at the Bancroft School.

Her Facebook page now shows that she has dropped her husband’s surname, and has been deleting social media posts relating to the couple after a mountain of comments spilled through after her husband’s cheating was outed at the concert.

Most of Megan Byron’s social media presence has now been deactivated and hidden as the barrage of comments continue to flow.

“...How awful for the wife...EVERYONE knew and was lying to her face, acting normal. I feel so bad for her. Wake up and find out now the whole WORLD knows your hubs is a lying p...k.”, one commenter said.

“Taking the side chick to a Coldplay concert and getting exposed for it by the band itself and it going viral is crazy work,” another commenter wrote.

“I hope his wife divorces him and takes him for everything he has,” another said.

Astronomer, the software development company reportedly valued over $1 billion ($AU1.5b) released a statement on the alleged affair in the early hours of Saturday morning AEST.

“Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding,” the statement says.

“Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability.

“The Board of Directors has initiated a formal investigation into this matter and we will have additional details to share very shortly.”
