Astronomer CEO Andy Byron recently became the talk of the town after he was caught cheating on his wife. He accidentally got caught red-handed by Chris Martin during Coldplay‘s concert in Boston. Since then, Byron has been at the centre of controversy and backlash on social media. Netizens did not spare him as they flooded his social media with negative comments.

Following Byron’s cheating scandal with his HR Chief, Kristi Cabot, the CEO’s social media, especially LinkedIn profile which was open to public, was flooded with negative messages from the public. These messages included some filled with rage over his heinous act, while some were moral policing them, and then there were some empathizing with Byron’s wife, Megan Kerrigan Byron.

This forced the Astronomer CEO to switch off his comment section after his cheating scandal. He shut down comments under all his LinkedIn posts. However, some netizens clicked screenshots of the negative comments Byron received amid the cheating row.

It is also to be noted that Byron also has two children with his wife Megan, and the family lives in New York. During the concert, there was another woman with Cabot and Byron, identified as Alyssa Stoddard, who is the Senior Director of People at Astronomer.
