Did The Simpsons Predict Andy Byron's Cheating Scandal? Here's The Truth
The Simpsons has become notorious for predicting real-life events. Now, people are talking about the show again because they think it predicted the cheating scandal of Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and his company's HR head, Kristin Cabot, during a Coldplay concert. Fans compared this to an episode from Season 28 – Kiss Kiss, where Homer and Marge appear on a kiss cam at a baseball game.
In the episode, Homer feels shy at first, but then kisses Marge. A photo circulating on social media looks similar to Andy and Kristin's moment, while many believe the animated series predicted yet another scandal. It turns out the picture isn't real. It was created using AI and not actually from the show.
Soon after the alleged Simpsons photos went viral, many people online started believing that the show's predictions are always right.
Reacting to the post, a user asked, 'Anything the Simpsons don't know?"
One more added, 'The Simpsons predicting the future YET AGAIN of the CEO at Coldplay situation."
As of now, neither Coldplay nor the makers of The Simpsons have shared any official comment about the viral theory linking the show to the cheating scandal. On the other hand, Astronomer, the company led by Andy Byron, has released a statement. The company shared that they are aware of the situation and have started a formal investigation.
Taking to X (Formerly Twitter), the company stated, 'Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding. Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability. The Board of Directors has initiated a formal investigation into this matter and we will have additional details to share very shortly. Alyssa Stoddard was not at the event and no other employees were in the video. Andy Byron has not put out any statement; reports saying otherwise are all incorrect."

Lionel Messi Spotted At Coldplay Concert, Chris Martin Calls Him 'No 1 Sportsperson'
Suspended for Inter Miami's bout against FC Cincinnati, Lionel Messi spent time with his wife at the Coldplay concert in the North American city. Football icon Lionel Messi was spotted at Coldplay's jumbotron alongside his better half in the North American city. Fans jumped and roared in excitement at the concert as a giant screen unveiled Messi's presence, while Coldplay's lead singer, Chris Martin, welcomed the world cup winner to the concert. 'Welcome to my beautiful brother," said Martin from the stage, looking at Messi, who was smiling as he waved acknowledging the loud reception. 'You and your wife are looking so fine. Thanks for coming today to see our band play. The No.1 sportsperson of all time," Martin said. Messi went to the Coldplay concert after attending Inter Miami's goalless draw against FC Cincinnati, for which the 38-year-old had been suspended amidst a breach of an All-Stars match regulation. Speculations had been rife about Messi's absence for the friendly encounter that featured 26 MLS players, including Hirving Lozano, Jordi Alba and Diego Rossi. Even as MLS authorities were desperate for Messi's appearance because of his incredible fame that would've attracted humongous viewership, he gave the game a skip. Because Messi took no part in the MLS All-Stars fixture, he was handed a one-match ban by the Major League Soccer authorities. Messi though was present in the stands on Saturday with Inter Miami co-owner Jorge Mas calling the punishment 'draconian". He also revealed the legend was 'extremely upset" over the sanction that sidelined him for an important match. 'To fill stadiums and sell tickets, nobody complains. It's strange, one day they say something, and the next day they say something else. We all heard what was said — that it was understandable the number of matches that he had been playing," said Miami's coach Javier Mascherano, reiterating that the ban was imposed despite the club informing MLS officials about the fatigue Messi dealt with amidst a congested schedule. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

'Messi! Messi!' — Fans erupt as Lionel Messi attends Coldplay concert with wife
Lionel Messi with wife at the Coldplay concert. (Video grab) Lionel Messi may have been sidelined from Inter Miami's recent clash with FC Cincinnati due to suspension, but the Argentine icon made headlines nonetheless — not on the pitch, but at a Coldplay concert. Messi and his wife Antonela Roccuzzo were spotted enjoying Coldplay 's final U.S. show on their Music of the Spheres World Tour at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami on Sunday night. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! As soon as the eight-time Ballon d'Or winner appeared on the venue's video board, the crowd erupted into thunderous chants of 'Messi! Messi! Messi!', briefly transforming the stadium atmosphere into something more fitting for a World Cup final than a concert. WATCH: The moment quickly went viral on social media, with fans capturing footage of the footballing legend smiling and soaking up the admiration. It wasn't Messi's first Coldplay experience either — the 38-year-old is a known fan and had previously attended one of their concerts in May 2023 while in Barcelona. The timing of the outing worked perfectly for Messi, who had an unexpected weekend off due to his suspension for missing the MLS All-Star Game. Inter Miami's CEO had earlier commented on Messi's disappointment at being forced to sit out, suggesting it could influence how the superstar is perceived by fans and league officials. Still, the Miami crowd's electric response was a reminder that Messi's popularity transcends sport. For a few moments, Hard Rock Stadium wasn't just the site of a concert — it became a global celebration of the greatest footballer of his generation blending seamlessly into American pop culture.
