Byron used secret Instagram account for explicit video calls, reveals wife’s messages
Just days after his public humiliation at a Coldplay concert, former Astronomer CEO Andy Byron has been linked to a fresh controversy — this time involving lavish spending on a platform OnlyFans.
On July 16, Byron, 50, and Astronomer’s HR chief Kristin Cabot, 52 — both married to other people — were caught on Coldplay’s ‘jumbotron’ looking cosy.
Frontman Chris Martin quipped, “Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy,” sparking a viral storm. The video ultimately led to the resignation of both executives.
According to The Blast, Byron allegedly spent more than $250,000 on OnlyFans subscriptions, custom content, and intimate video calls with multiple creators.
Brazilian model Camilla Araujo, 29, who runs the influencer collective “Bop House,” claimed the spending wasn’t limited to one star. “I saw the receipts. We’re talking a quarter million… not just with Sophie [Rain], but multiple girls,” she said.
The report alleges Byron paid up to $40,000 for explicit video calls with 23-year-old OnlyFans creator Sophie Rain (real name Izabella Blair).
Screenshots, purportedly shared by Byron’s wife Megan Kerrigan, suggest he used a secret Instagram account and messaging app to arrange the calls.
In one alleged message, Byron wrote: “All good. Most guys I talk to are married.” Rain allegedly replied: “Okay, call me in 5 mins.”
While Rain declined to confirm Byron as a client, she condemned cheating, saying: “Cheaters are the worst people on this planet. I applaud Chris Martin for exposing it.”
She also offered support to Kerrigan: “As a Christian, I don’t condone this behaviour. If she needs a friend, I’m here for her. This guy is just a bump in the road.”
Araujo echoed the sentiment, reaching out to Kerrigan directly: “Women need to stand together when someone tries to humiliate and betray them, especially in such a public way.”
Kerrigan has yet to release a formal statement, though Daily Mail sources claim she has been keeping a low profile at the couple’s luxury estate in Kennebunk, Maine.
Astronomer has not commented on the new allegations surrounding its former CEO.
