As per a conspiracy theory, it could be possible, media reports said. The authenticity of the theory cannot be independently verified.Online users believe this public scandal may not have been accidental. The theory suggests Byron's wife, Megan Kerrigan, may have known about the affair and influenced the moment to her advantage.The Coldplay concert video showed Byron and Cabot on the Kiss Cam, which instantly went viral. Many saw it as a coincidence, but a section of online users have started speculating otherwise. A caption on one of the viral videos questioned the randomness of the moment, asking, 'Why did Coldplay manage to expose a cheating couple out of 60,000 people?'This theory claims Megan Kerrigan had advance knowledge of her husband's affair. According to the theory, she used the moment to expose Byron publicly and benefit from the fallout. However, the theory offers no explanation as to how Kerrigan could have influenced Coldplay's camera operators or concert management.Since the scandal broke, Megan Kerrigan has stayed away from public appearances. She removed 'Byron' from her Facebook name and reportedly left her marital home in Massachusetts. The $2.4 million property she moved to is located in Maine, and Daily Mail reports say friends and family have been visiting her frequently.Despite growing attention, Kerrigan has not released an official statement. Some messages in her name have been circulating online, but their authenticity is unverified. So far, she has made no comments about the incident, the theory, or the viral video.Experts say Megan Kerrigan could benefit financially if she files for divorce. Her husband Andy Byron is believed to have a net worth between $20 million and $70 million. Under Massachusetts law, couples married for over seven years must equally split marital assets, unless there is a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement in place. It is not clear if Megan and Andy signed any such agreements.If she chooses divorce, Megan could receive a large portion of the couple's shared wealth. Given the nature of the public scandal and its emotional impact, legal experts say a settlement could include more than just financial terms.Andy Byron resigned from Astronomer shortly after the kisscam video went viral. The company initially placed both Byron and Kristin Cabot on leave as an internal investigation began. But Byron stepped down from his role, and Pete DeJoy was named acting CEO.Reports claim Byron negotiated a generous exit package from Astronomer. The exact figures have not been revealed, but sources close to the company say the amount was significant. Kristin Cabot's employment status has not been confirmed by Astronomer or media outlets.There is no evidence confirming Kerrigan influenced the kisscam. The theory is based on speculation and lacks factual support.Under Massachusetts law, she could receive up to half of the marital assets, estimated between $10 million and $35 million, depending on existing agreements.
