Megan Kerrigan responds to husband's cheating scandal
The post, published on July 19, makes a direct emotional appeal: 'I will take my children and leave this repulsive man behind.'
Since the initial message, a series of follow-up posts have appeared on the page, each echoing similar tones of betrayal, grief, and anger.
While the account quickly gained traction with thousands of followers, there is no official confirmation that it truly belongs to Megan Kerrigan.
The emergence of this account follows widespread media coverage of Andy Byron's alleged affair with Kristin Cabot, Astronomer's HR chief, which was seemingly exposed during a now-infamous 'Kiss Cam' moment at a Coldplay concert in Boston. The video, which showed Byron and Cabot appearing intimately close, set off a wave of speculation and backlash online.
Soon after the incident gained attention, Megan's original Facebook account, which had displayed her married name and featured family photos was altered to remove 'Byron' and then quietly deactivated. The timing of the changes only added fuel to rumors of a possible separation.
Though many online believe the new Facebook posts to be Megan's way of speaking out, others have expressed caution.
With no verification or public statement from Megan or her representatives, doubts remain about the authenticity of the account. Some have even raised concerns about potential impersonation.
Regardless of the authenticity of the account, public sympathy continues to rally behind Megan Kerrigan amid the fallout from her husband's scandal.

Slim Thug weighs in on Klay Thompson and Megan Thee Stallion's romance after $300K gift reveal
Slim Thug weighs in on Klay Thompson and Megan Thee Stallion's romance after $300K gift reveal Slim Thug has stirred online debate after criticising NBA star Klay Thompson for accepting a $300,000 Audemars Piguet watch from girlfriend Megan Thee Stallion. The Houston rapper commented, 'I can't have no woman little-boying me,' following a viral clip where Thompson showed off the luxury timepiece, calling Megan 'a sweet lady.' The unexpected relationship between the Dallas Mavericks guard and the outspoken rapper has made headlines since they went public. Public displays of affection, gift exchanges, and viral videos have become routine, with Megan confirming their growing bond. Speaking to Page Six at her recent gala, she said, 'I have never dated somebody so kind… he makes me genuinely happy.' Slim Thug's remarks have drawn attention due to his prior interest in Megan. Back in April, he went live on social media suggesting she had a crush on him. However, during her Coachella set, Megan made it clear there was no romantic interest, stating, 'And, no, Slim Thug, this don't mean I want you. I just like your music, babe.' Fans now view Slim Thug's latest comments as a bitter response to being publicly rejected, with many accusing him of taking aim at Klay Thompson out of frustration.

Lionel Messi and Antonela Roccuzzo attend Coldplay Miami concert
At Coldplay's Music of the Spheres concert in Miami on July 27, 2025, football legend Lionel Messi and his wife Antonela Roccuzzo were shown on the venue's Kiss Cam, creating a viral moment that quickly spread across social media. In the video, the couple appears standing side by side in what seems to be a suite or reserved section. Messi smiles and raises his hand in a brief wave, while Antonela, smiling beside him. The two do not kiss or interact further with the camera. As they appear onscreen, the stadium erupts in chants of 'Messi! Messi! Messi!', momentarily shifting the atmosphere from concert to sporting event. Shortly thereafter, a band member addressed them with a sing-song compliment: 'Oh, Leo, my beautiful brother. You and your wife are looking so fine. Thank you for coming today to see our band play. The number one sportsperson of all time.' Lionel Messi and his wife Antonela Roccuzzo were shown on screen at Coldplay's concert in Miami tonight. — Pop Base (@PopBase) July 28, 2025 The couple's poised appearance drew attention for its simplicity and impact. It marked one of the most talked-about moments of the night, blending global sports celebrity with a major live music event. Notably, Messi's appearance at the show came during a match absence resulting from an MLS-imposed one-game suspension, following his decision to skip the All-Star Game earlier that week. The brief break from the pitch allowed for this unexpected but warmly received public outing, one that reminded fans how powerfully his presence resonates, even outside the stadium.

Did 'The Simpsons' predict Coldplay jumbotron scandal?
According to viral social media posts, The Simpsons predicted a kiss cam moment at a Coldplay concert in July 2025. After a video went viral allegedly showing the Astronomer CEO caught cheating with the company's chief people officer, users on social media quickly claimed this was another event the sitcom had predicted long before it happened. As per DW, the rumour spread across various social media platforms like TikTok, X, Instagram and Facebook, in various languages. Some posts garnered millions of views, and some even contained specific details, such as the season, episode and air date, where the supposed screenshot was allegedly taken from. DW Fact Check had a look into the alleged prediction. Claim: "Did The Simpsons really predict the Coldplay Concert incident in a 2003 episode? (The alleged affair or sighting of Astronomer CEO Andy Byron & Kristin Cabot)," says this post on X that includes a still of the kiss cam footage alongside an image that appears to show the similar scene from the The Simpsons cartoon. DW Fact Check: False Most versions of the rumour claim the prediction occurred in Season 26, Episode 10, The Man Who Came to Be Dinner. The episode aired on January 4, 2015, and features a plot in which the Simpson family is abducted by aliens while visiting an amusement park. The episode is available on streaming platforms and YouTube here. However, there is no such scene in this episode. Another episode, Season 17, Episode 22, Marge and Homer Turn a Couple Play, does include a kiss cam scene, but it takes place at a baseball match, and the characters kissing are Marge and Homer. The alleged prediction screenshot circulating online is, therefore, most likely generated by artificial intelligence or digitally manipulated. DW Fact Check uploaded the image to several AI-detection platforms, including AIorNot, which labeled it as "likely AI-generated." Hive Moderation even gave an estimate of 99.9 per cent "likely to contain AI-generated or deepfake content." But this isn't the first time The Simpsons has allegedly predicted future events. You may have seen some of these viral claims before: Trump as US president One of the most famous alleged predictions from The Simpsons was that Donald Trump would become the president of the United States. In Season 11, Episode 17, Lisa Simpson did actually reference Donald Trump's presidency in an episode that originally aired on March 19, 2000. In the episode, set in the future, Lisa is the current US president and implies that real estate mogul Trump had been her predecessor and caused a budget crisis. In 2015, the media cited the episode as a foreshadowing of Trump's future presidential run. However, the image often used to illustrate this "presidential prediction" is actually from a short episode called Trumptastic Voyage, from Season 25, which aired in July 2015, after Trump had already announced his candidacy. The image shows Trump and Homer on an escalator in front of a crowd. The cartoon scene is based on a real-life event from June of the same year. 2024 Baltimore bridge Another viral post claimed that The Simpsons predicted the March 2024 collapse of the Baltimore bridge, showing Homer and Lisa watching the event unfold. At first glance, the image looks real, but the devil is in the details. There are small hints that this image is actually AI-generated. If you take a closer look at the image, you'll see that Lisa's hair has 10 spikes, whereas the real character of the cartoon series only has eight. Homer's hair is also incorrect - the zigzags are noticeably narrower than in the show. COVID-19 pandemic Many people have also claimed online that the show predicted the COVID-19 pandemic. They refer to Season 4, Episode 21, titled Marge in Chains. In the episode many Springfield residents order juicers from Osaka, Japan. One of the factory workers is sick and coughs into the boxes, spreading what becomes known as the "Osaka Flu." The only similarity between the "Osaka Flu" and COVID-19 is that both originated in East Asia. The fictional flu did not lead to a global lockdown, a pandemic or millions of deaths. By contrast, COVID-19 was far more serious, resulting in over 7 million deaths worldwide, as recorded by the World Health Organisation.
