Days after his public embarrassment at a Coldplay concert, former Astronomer CEO Andy Byron reportedly spent big money on OnlyFans, the adult content subscription platform. Byron, 50, was forced to resign after a viral video showed him cuddling Kristin Cabot, the company's HR chief. He is now believed to have spent over $250,000 (about Rs 2.2 crore) on subscriptions, custom videos, and steamy video calls with multiple OnlyFans creators.

According to The Blast, Andy Byron reportedly spent as much as $40,000 (over Rs 35 lakh) on intimate video calls alone with 23-year-old OnlyFans creator Sophie Rain (real name Izabella Blair). Leaked private messages shared by Byron's wife suggest he used a secret Instagram account to arrange explicit video calls with Sophie Rain.

In one message, Byron allegedly wrote, "All good. Most guys I talk to are married," to which Rain replied, "Okay, call me in 5 mins [winky face]." While Rain declined to confirm Byron's identity as a client, she praised Coldplay's role in exposing his cheating, saying, "Cheaters are the worst people on this planet."

Brazilian model Camilla Araujo, 29, leader of the OnlyFans collective "Bop House," claimed Byron's spending extended to multiple creators. "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 said.
