The shared lines are highly appreciated for both IQ and EQ, not all wives are so courageous.

The incident caused a stir in public opinion.

Andy Byron is married to Megan Kerrigan and has two children. Immediately after the video went viral, Megan’s Facebook account was said to have been hidden, and she proactively removed the last name “Byron” from her profile. Today, another Facebook page has emerged, believed to belong to Megan, thanking the public for their support following the scandal. However, its authenticity has not been confirmed.

The post on Megan Kerrigan’s page expressed gratitude for the support during this difficult time; affirmed that she was not an active social media user, and warned the public to be cautious of fake pages that impersonate her and call for financial support.

A deeply sympathetic excerpt:

“Betrayal is painful… but public humiliation is even deeper. Watching him kiss another woman not in a private room but at a concert, in front of thousands of people, videotaped as entertainment… it was a moment that I could never go back to. I don’t need to be called Byron, he and I are no longer the same.”

The video from July 16, 2025 caused a stir on social networks and raised the question: Will Megan decide to divorce Andy? Currently, the couple has not made any official statement. According to some marriage experts, if the divorce happens, Andy may have to spend tens of millions of dollars to cover the common assets. On the contrary, if Megan chooses to reconcile, this journey will hardly be smooth.

Kristin Cabot used to hold the position of HR Head at Astronomer and was recorded as having divorced her ex-husband Kenneth Thronby in 2022. According to The Post, Kristin is currently in a relationship with Andrew Cabot, CEO and COO of Privateer Rum.

In short, the “Kiss Cam” incident of the Astronomer CEO couple has opened up a series of consequences: From the CEO’s wife being pressured, changing her social media status, to rumors of a divorce that could cost tens of millions of dollars, all of which are making the public unable to stop talking. In the end, an unethical relationship not only destroyed the whole family but also affected the work, reputation and many people involved.

Below is a letter posted by the Facebook account Megan Kerrigan:

To everyone,

To be honest, I don’t know how to start, because the past few days have been a really difficult time for me.

When this happened, I felt extremely lonely, as if no one could understand or stand by me. But then you appeared. Your messages, comments and quiet support touched me in a way that I can’t put into words. The love you have shown me is something I never expected and I want to assure everyone that I am okay. I am grateful for the love you have sent and I carry that with me every day.

I am reading as many comments as I can, and while I cannot respond to all of them, I see you, I feel you. Your words of comfort help me stay strong during this time.

For now, I am choosing to stay calm. I have never been a social media person, and I will not speak publicly about this situation at least not yet. I need the right time, when I am ready and feel it is appropriate to do so. I hope everyone understands.

There are people trying to take advantage of my situation, spreading misinformation, writing cruel and unfair things. I am trying my best to protect my space and stay positive… but it is not easy and it hurts.

And please be careful. I will never send private messages or ask for anything other than money, help, or donations. If someone impersonates me and makes such a request, please ignore it because it is not me.

Lastly, I just want to sincerely thank you again for being there for me, especially when I felt like the ground was crumbling beneath my feet. You reminded me that I was not as alone as I thought.

With all my heart,
Megan
