RILEY GREENE GIVES BOMBSHELL TESTIMONY: MEGAN KERRIGAN BYRON FILES FOR DIVORCE FROM CEO ANDY BYRON AMID AFFAIR ALLEGATIONS
By Staff Writer – July 19, 2025
In a shocking revelation that’s sending shockwaves through the corporate and tech worlds, Riley Greene — the outspoken nephew of Megan Kerrigan Byron — has come forward with claims that his aunt, the wife of Astronomer CEO Andy Byron, has officially filed for divorce after uncovering a long-term affair between Byron and a senior executive within his own company.
According to Greene, Megan Kerrigan Byron discovered substantial evidence of an extramarital relationship between her husband and Kristin Cabot, the Senior Director of Human Resources at Astronomer. The allegations are explosive on their own, but Greene claims there is more: his aunt is said to be in possession of “a series of damning files” that, if released, could completely derail Andy Byron’s career and public standing.
A Family Insider Speaks
On Thursday evening, Greene took to social media to make the claims public. “Megan is done protecting Andy,” he wrote in a now-viral post. “She filed for divorce this week. She has the proof. Emails, recordings, internal memos — she’s held it in for too long, and now she’s ready to speak.”
Greene’s post has since garnered tens of thousands of shares and comments, with users from all sectors — especially those connected to the startup and tech ecosystems — weighing in. Reactions have ranged from disbelief to support for Megan’s decision to come forward.
The Alleged Affair
Kristin Cabot, named as the other party in the alleged affair, has been with Astronomer for over seven years and played a central role in its corporate restructuring and HR expansion in recent years. If the allegations are true, the implications for both Byron and Cabot could be severe, including breaches of corporate ethics and internal conduct policies — especially given Cabot’s leadership position in Human Resources.
At the time of publication, neither Byron nor Cabot had made any public statements. Requests for comment from Astronomer were not immediately returned.
A Crisis Within the Company
Internally, employees at Astronomer are reportedly reeling from the news. One anonymous source within the company told The Observer Post, “If this turns out to be true, it will devastate morale. Andy has always maintained a strict ‘no tolerance’ policy for workplace relationships. This could completely destroy what’s left of employee trust.”
In a confidential memo circulating within the company (allegedly leaked by Greene as well), Megan Byron reportedly outlined her intention to bring the affair — and possible misuse of company resources — into legal and public scrutiny. The memo also hinted at financial discrepancies and “internal abuse of power,” suggesting that the fallout may extend beyond just the affair.
What Comes Next
Legal experts believe the release of evidence could force the board of Astronomer to act swiftly, either suspending Byron or launching an internal investigation. If company resources were used to facilitate the affair or to suppress its exposure, Byron could face not only civil liability but possible criminal implications, depending on state jurisdiction.
“This isn’t just a marriage collapsing — it’s the unraveling of a carefully curated public image and potentially a multi-million-dollar corporation’s credibility,” says media and ethics analyst Dr. Caroline Marks.
Support for Megan Kerrigan Byron
While the details continue to unfold, public support for Megan Kerrigan Byron has grown. A quiet figure until now, Megan is described by those close to her as “private, intelligent, and fiercely protective of her family.” Riley Greene, her nephew, has vowed to continue speaking out on her behalf until she is ready to release her own statement.
As of Friday afternoon, divorce proceedings have reportedly begun in the couple’s home state, though official court records remain sealed.
