The saga of former tech CEO Andy Byron, whose career and marriage imploded after a viral “kiss cam” moment, has spiraled into a new, darker chapter. Byron is now at the center of a fresh scandal, with an OnlyFans creator claiming he spent over $250,000 on subscriptions, private content, and video calls with multiple models. The explosive allegations, reportedly fueled by messages leaked by his estranged wife, have cemented Byron’s fall from grace from a respected tech executive to a public pariah.
The new claims, first reported by The Times of India and other outlets, come from Camilla Araujo, a co-founder of the “Bop House,” a collective of OnlyFans creators. Araujo alleges that Byron’s extravagant spending was not limited to a single creator, but was a widespread habit. “I saw the receipts. We’re talking a quarter million in sub fees, custom content and video calls — not just with Sophie, with multiple girls,” she told a media outlet, referring to OnlyFans star Sophie Rain, with whom Byron was also allegedly in contact.
These revelations follow the initial public humiliation of Byron, who resigned as CEO of the data analytics firm Astronomer in July after a video of him embracing the company’s head of HR, Kristin Cabot, on a Coldplay “kiss cam” went viral. His estranged wife, Megan Kerrigan, reportedly leaked private messages that showed Byron using a secret Instagram account to arrange video calls with Sophie Rain and other creators.
The allegations have a significant financial dimension, particularly for Byron’s impending divorce from Kerrigan. While California is a “no-fault” divorce state and does not penalize infidelity in a financial settlement, family law experts say the misuse of marital funds could be a factor. If Kerrigan can prove Byron used “community funds”—money acquired during the marriage—for his alleged spending spree, she could be entitled to be reimbursed for her half of the amount.
For now, Byron has remained silent on the new allegations, leaving his former colleagues and the public to grapple with the shocking details. The scandal has not only ruined a career but has also raised profound questions about privacy, the consequences of infidelity in the digital age, and the role of social media in exposing private lives.
The public’s appetite for the drama shows no signs of waning. As the legal fallout from his divorce continues and the online scrutiny intensifies, Andy Byron’s story serves as a cautionary tale of a private moment caught on camera that spiraled into a very public, and now very costly, reckoning.
