Coldplay scandal: Astronomer CEO's senior recalls bullying episode, says 'hasn't learned his lesson'
"
In a post on X, a man named Jonathan Bowen claimed that he knew that Byron would be a competitor but also knew he'd be a complete sociopath, and "it turns out I was right."
"You're not going to believe this shit! When I was a teenager living in Hanover, Massachusetts, I got into a couple of fights with a kid a bit younger than me but slightly bigger, named Andy Byron. He thought he was tough, so I had to put him in his place. I beat him up once or twice, but later, he and another buddy from Laurie Lane—I was the fuckin' new guy—jumped me, and I lost that fight," Bowen said in a post.
"Turns out, he's the same guy who was caught cheating on his wife at the Coldplay concert! The guy clearly hasn't learned his lesson. When I knew him, I thought he'd be a competitor, he's now the CEO of Astronomy, but I also knew he'd be a complete sociopath, and it turns out I was right," he added.

Dan Rivera's last Facebook post about 'Annabelle' sends chills after his death
Dan Rivera, a well-known paranormal investigator, was found dead in a Gettysburg, Pennsylvania hotel room on July 13 while touring with the infamous 'Annabelle' doll --said to be one of the most haunted objects in the world. He was 54. Rivera had been traveling with the supposedly possessed doll, which gained notoriety through The Conjuring movie franchise. Though the real Annabelle is a Raggedy Ann doll typically kept secured behind glass at the Warrens' Occult Museum in Connecticut, it had recently been brought out for a rare public tour—one Rivera helped lead. According to the Evening Sun, Rivera's death is not currently considered suspicious, but an autopsy will be conducted to determine the official cause. Just a week before his death, Rivera posted a video of Annabelle with an ominous caption: 'GET READY GETTYSBURG! ON THE ROAD THIS WEEK. ITS THE FINAL COUNTDOWN.' Rivera's final Facebook post came on July 8, when he warned followers of the doll's next appearance: 'MAINE… SHE'S COMING!!!! For the FIRST time ever, the infamous Annabelle—yes, that Annabelle—from the Warrens' Occult Museum is leaving her case and making her way to the Maine Paranormal and Horror Convention.' Screengrab from the viral post. He continued with a chilling description: 'The doll that inspired The Conjuring Universe will be on full display, secured and under strict observation… but don't say we didn't warn you.' In the same post, he urged fans to confront their fears: 'This is your chance to: Stand in the presence of America's most haunted object. Grab a once-in-a-lifetime photo. Hear from experts on the real history behind the legend. Feel the chill creep up your spine as you lock eyes with evil. Not for the faint of heart. Not to be missed.' And finally, he wrote: 'Annabelle is waiting. Will you come see her... or will she come see you?' Rivera never made it to Maine. In the wake of his death, his Facebook comment section has become a place of both mourning and speculation. 'I hear you can take her to tour but CANNOT under any circumstance take her out of the box!!!' one person warned. 'They keep playing with the spirit world and have no clue it is to be respected,' another added.
