Just when it seemed like the dust was settling from the Coldplay concert scandal dubbed “ColdplayGate,” things have taken a wilder turn, and the internet is eating it up.
Andy Byron, the now-former CEO of the data analytics firm Astronomer, has found himself at the center of an even messier viral firestorm after his wife, Megan Kerrigan, reportedly leaked private messages exposing his alleged interactions with OnlyFans creator Sophie Rain.

What began as a seemingly innocent kiss-cam moment between Andy Byron and Kerrigan at a Coldplay concert has now spiraled into a full-blown social media spectacle.
According to screenshots allegedly shared by Kerrigan, Byron seemingly used a secretive messaging app known as Finsta to pay up to $40,000 for explicit video calls with Rain, a well-known content creator and member of influencer mansion Bop House.
In one message exchange, the now former Astronomer CEO allegedly told Rain, “All good. Most guys I talk to are married.”
To which Rain seemingly replied, “Okay, call me in 5 mins [winky face].”
Internet Roasts Ex-CEO As Hashtags And Memes Explode
The fallout has been swift and merciless. Hashtags like #ColdplayGate, #SophieRain, and #Astronomer have exploded across X, Instagram, and TikTok.
Memes mocking Andy Byron’s downfall, parody accounts, and public speculation about the use of company funds have dominated comment sections. One user joked, “Bro cashed in his 401(k) for feet pics,” while another quipped, “OnlyFans? More like OnlyFired.”
Despite the mounting backlash, Byron has remained silent. He officially stepped down from his CEO role at Astronomer shortly after the concert scandal made headlines.
The company has yet to release an official statement regarding the latest revelations.
Sophie Rain Speaks Out Amid Andy Byron Scandal
Sophie Rain, for her part, is staying mostly tight-lipped, but offered an exclusive statement to The Blast, where she distanced herself from the scandal while offering support to Byron’s wife.
“I can not comment on who my clients and donors are, but this situation is crazy as it is. As a Christian, I don’t condone this type of behavior,” Rain said. “I don’t disclose my donors, but I am here for his wife if she needs a friend through these times. I know this type of thing can be hard. If she has any issues at all during this time of uncertainty, she can reach out to me. I would love to talk to her and reassure her that this guy is just a bump in the road.”
Rain even gave a nod to her love of the band at the center of the chaos. “I am a huge fan of Coldplay. I’m glad this happened,” she admitted. “Cheaters are the worst people on this planet. I applaud Chris Martin for integrating this into his show.”

This comes just days after Andy Byron formally resigned after the now-viral kiss cam moment. The footage quickly went viral, with social media users accusing Byron of publicly flaunting an alleged affair.
Astronomer wasted no time addressing the controversy. In a statement shared with employees and later made public, the company acknowledged the situation and confirmed Byron’s departure.
“Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met,” the company said. “Andy Byron has tendered his resignation, and the Board of Directors has accepted.”
While the company navigates the PR storm, Cofounder and Chief Product Officer Pete DeJoy has stepped in as interim CEO as the Board begins a formal search for Byron’s replacement.
Astronomer, previously known in tech circles as a pioneer in the DataOps space, acknowledged the unexpected viral fame but stressed its mission remains unchanged.
“While awareness of our company may have changed overnight, our product and our work for our customers have not,” the company added. “We’re continuing to do what we do best: helping our customers with their toughest data and AI problems.”

While Andy Byron’s alleged affair continues to dominate headlines, his wife, Megan Byron, has yet to issue a formal statement, but sources told The Daily Mail she’s been keeping a low profile at the couple’s luxury estate in Kennebunk, Maine, more than 100 miles from their $1.4 million primary residence in Northborough, Massachusetts.
According to insiders, she’s been leaning on her family for support, including her older sister, Maura, who has reportedly been by her side throughout the ordeal.
