New York, NY — Tech CEO Andy Byron is under fire once again, but this time it’s not for company decisions or office romances — it’s for a leaked private text message to his wife that has left the public stunned and calling him “two-faced.”
The message, reportedly sent just hours before he was seen publicly embracing another woman — his employee Kristin Cabot — has ignited a wave of backlash on social media, corporate forums, and even mainstream news outlets.
The 5 Words That Shook the Internet
The now-viral message reads:
“You’re still my only love.”
Just five words — but they’ve been labeled everything from “manipulative” to “gaslighting” after being leaked online by a source close to the family. The message appears to have been sent late at night on July 18, only to be followed the next day by Byron’s public appearance with Kristin Cabot, where he openly declared his desire to start a family with her.
The timing of the text has fueled widespread accusations of emotional duplicity.
“This man is living two lives. One for the headlines, one behind closed doors,” commented a user on X (formerly Twitter).
“It’s not just betrayal — it’s psychological warfare,” another posted.
A Nation Reacts: Sympathy for the Wife, Scrutiny for the CEO
While Byron has yet to respond publicly, the fallout has been swift.
His wife, Emily Byron, has not made any statements, but sources close to her say she is “devastated” by the leak — and even more so by what appears to be an orchestrated charade.
“You can’t tell someone they’re your ‘only love’ while planning a future with someone else. This isn’t just hypocrisy — it’s cruelty,” said Dr. Helen Marks, a relationship psychologist interviewed on Good Morning America.
Corporate Consequences?
Though this is a personal scandal, many are questioning how Byron’s judgment and ethics in his private life may reflect on his leadership as CEO.
Byron Technologies, the company he leads, has not issued a formal statement. However, employees are reportedly divided, with some defending his right to privacy while others worry that his actions may affect the company’s public image — especially amid ongoing workplace romance concerns involving Kristin Cabot.
So What’s Next?
With mounting pressure from both the media and public opinion, insiders suggest Byron may be forced to make a formal statement or even step away from the spotlight temporarily.
As for the infamous five-word text, it has already taken on a life of its own — quoted, parodied, and dissected by millions online.
“You’re still my only love.”
— a sentence that once might have sounded romantic, now echoes with bitterness, betrayal, and questions that may never be fully answered.
