AFTERMATH: Megan Kerrigan Deletes All Social Media After Andy Byron’s Scandal — A Screenshot From Kristin Cabot’s Baby Shower Just Reignited a New DNA Controversy!

The scandal surrounding Astronomer’s former CEO Andy Byron and Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot has taken a shocking new turn, with Megan Kerrigan Byron, Andy’s wife, wiping her social media presence amid a fresh controversy sparked by a screenshot from Kristin Cabot’s 2022 baby shower. The image, allegedly showing Andy Byron in attendance, has ignited speculation about a DNA controversy tied to Cabot’s child, born in early 2023. This article explores Megan’s social media purge, the baby shower screenshot, and the explosive questions now swirling around the Astronomer saga.

The Coldplay Kiss Cam and Its Fallout

The drama began on July 16, 2025, when a Coldplay concert kiss cam at Gillette Stadium in Boston captured Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot in an intimate embrace. Coldplay frontman Chris Martin’s quip, “Either they’re having an affair or they’re very shy,” amplified the moment, which went viral with over 46 million views on TikTok and X. The fallout was swift: Byron resigned as CEO on July 19, and both he and Cabot were placed on administrative leave pending an investigation by Astronomer, a data infrastructure company valued at $1.3 billion. Leaked emails about a mysterious Maine property, a 2022 security video of Cabot wearing Byron’s hoodie, and a deleted Instagram reel allegedly filmed in the Byron family bedroom during Megan’s pregnancy further deepened the scandal.

Megan Kerrigan Byron, 50, an educator and Associate Director at Bancroft School in Massachusetts, became a sympathetic figure. After the kiss cam incident, she removed “Byron” from her Facebook profile, reverting to Megan Kerrigan, and deleted her Facebook and Instagram accounts by July 17, 2025, following a flood of supportive and harassing messages. A new Facebook account under her name emerged on July 19, gaining over 7,600 followers in two days, with posts denouncing Byron’s betrayal, though its authenticity is debated. The latest development—a screenshot from Cabot’s 2022 baby shower—has pushed Megan to erase her digital footprint entirely, reigniting public outrage and speculation.

The Baby Shower Screenshot and DNA Controversy

The new controversy centers on a screenshot, posted by an anonymous X user (@TruthSeekerMA) on July 20, 2025, allegedly from Kristin Cabot’s baby shower in late 2022. The image shows a group of people, including a man resembling Andy Byron, at an event with balloons and a “Welcome Baby” banner. The caption claims the shower was for Cabot’s child, born in early 2023, shortly after her divorce from Kenneth Thornby was finalized in 2022. The screenshot, though unverified, has sparked a firestorm of speculation about whether Byron could be the father of Cabot’s child, given the timeline of their alleged affair.

The timing is critical. In November 2022, when the baby shower reportedly took place, Megan Kerrigan was pregnant with her second child, born in December 2022. The Instagram reel from the same period, allegedly filmed in the Byron family bedroom, already suggested Cabot’s presence in their home. The baby shower screenshot now raises questions about whether Byron’s relationship with Cabot extended to a personal involvement in her pregnancy. X users have dubbed this the “DNA controversy,” with posts like, “If Andy was at Kristin’s baby shower, is that kid his? Megan deserves answers!” (@GossipGuru2025). Others speculate that the child’s paternity could complicate potential divorce settlements, given Byron’s estimated net worth of $20–70 million.

The screenshot’s authenticity is unconfirmed, and Cabot’s social media accounts, like her LinkedIn, have been deleted or made private, making verification difficult. However, the image aligns with earlier evidence—a 2022 security video showing Cabot in Byron’s Lacework hoodie—suggesting a relationship predating their Astronomer tenure. The baby shower’s location is unclear, but some X users link it to the mysterious Maine property mentioned in leaked emails, given Cabot’s Maine roots and her $2.2 million New Hampshire home with her husband, Andrew Cabot.

Megan Kerrigan’s Social Media Purge

Megan’s decision to delete all social media reflects the overwhelming pressure of the scandal. Before the kiss cam incident, her Facebook featured family photos, including hiking trips and a graduation ceremony with Andy and their two sons. After the video went viral, her account was inundated with comments, ranging from supportive messages like “You don’t deserve this” to cruel taunts. By July 17, she removed “Byron” from her profile and deactivated her accounts, a move seen as a bid for privacy amid public humiliation.

The emergence of the baby shower screenshot appears to have been the final straw. A new Facebook account under “Megan Kerrigan” posted on July 19, stating, “I believed him… but the kiss caught on camera at the concert shattered everything,” and vowing to “leave this repulsive man behind.” While some question the account’s legitimacy, its rapid following suggests public sympathy for Megan, who has avoided direct statements. Colleagues at Bancroft School, where she works, confirm she is receiving offline support but is steering clear of media. Her complete social media purge underscores the toll of the DNA controversy, which has thrust her private pain into a global spotlight.

Implications for Astronomer and the Cabot Marriage

The baby shower screenshot escalates the stakes for Astronomer’s board investigation. The suggestion of a 2022 relationship raises questions about Cabot’s hiring in November 2024—did Byron, who became CEO in July 2023, influence her appointment? As Chief People Officer, Cabot’s role in enforcing ethical HR policies makes the alleged affair particularly damaging, potentially eroding employee trust. Financial analysts warn that the scandal could impact Astronomer’s $1.3 billion valuation, especially if evidence of financial impropriety, such as misuse of funds for the Maine property, surfaces.

For Kristin Cabot, the DNA controversy threatens her marriage to Andrew Cabot, CEO of Privateer Rum. Andrew’s ringless appearance at a July 20 spirits gala signaled marital strain, and his PR team’s refusal to address the 2022 timeline suggests he may be concealing prior knowledge of the affair. The baby shower screenshot, if tied to Byron, could further complicate their relationship, especially given Kristin’s role at Privateer Rum as an advisory board member since 2020.

Public Reaction and the Maine Connection

Social media is ablaze with reactions, with X users rallying behind Megan. Posts like “Megan’s a class act, deleting her accounts to protect her kids” (@MrsSpaceX) and “That baby shower pic is WILD—Andy at Kristin’s shower while Megan was pregnant?” (@ScandalSleuth) reflect the public’s mix of sympathy and outrage. Memes have dubbed the scandal “ColdplayGate,” with some calling for DNA tests to “settle the score.” The Maine property remains a focal point, with speculation that the baby shower could have been held there, though no evidence confirms this. Kristin’s Maine background and the couple’s New Hampshire home fuel theories about a secret retreat.

What’s Next?

As of July 21, 2025, neither Byron, Cabot, nor Astronomer has addressed the baby shower screenshot. Megan’s social media purge suggests a retreat from public life, while the new Facebook account’s posts, if authentic, indicate divorce proceedings may loom. Andrew Cabot’s silence and Privateer Rum’s vague PR statements leave questions about his marriage unanswered. The DNA controversy, while speculative, has shifted focus to the personal toll on Megan and her children, who face unrelenting public scrutiny.

The baby shower screenshot has reignited the Astronomer scandal, transforming it from a workplace ethics issue into a deeply personal saga. Whether the DNA speculation holds truth remains unclear, but its impact is undeniable: Megan Kerrigan’s quiet life has been shattered, and the tech and spirits industries brace for further fallout. As the public demands answers, the silence from Byron and Cabot only amplifies the mystery, leaving Megan to navigate a storm she didn’t create.
