Just as we thought another twist couldn't be added to the already chaotic Astronomer Coldplay cheating scandal, the alleged 'daughter' of CEO Andy Byron has set her account to private after claims of fake videos lead to major online backlash.
Almost everyone on social media is keeping up with the developments surrounding the recent Coldplay concert cheating scandal, where Astronomer CEO Andy Byron was caught embracing Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot on the jumbotron screen.
Byron has since resigned from his role at the tech company, with the new Interim CEO issuing a written statement, and rumors have swirled following a bold move by his wife on Facebook.
While the girl who originally shared the clip of Byron and Cabot hasn't made any money from her viral fame, some others are looking to capitalize on the excitement by putting themselves directly into the chaos.
As reported by Cosmopolitan, one of the major new twists in the Andy Byron story is an account posing as his daughter that has shared her reaction to the news of her father's infidelity on TikTok.

Known under the handle @thatmarinagirll, the account began sharing videos of how it has been seeing the scandal play out, and that it's caused her to head on a trip in response.
One video, which has racked up over 2,000,000 views, shows quite how much people are desperate for something to add to the drama, as thousands are rapid in the comments upon learning about this so-called 'Marina'.
"This girl is capitalizing on this and I feel like she can do whatever she wants," reads the caption of the video making people aware of her account.
Heading over to Byron's alleged daughter, you can see screenshots of a conversation she had with friends, where they speculate that it was "your dad's doppelganger," to which Marina replied "Lord help us."

However, the jig was seemingly up following the account's fourth video, which was a thinly-veiled advertisement for travel company Triips.com, where Marina wrote: "Thanks for the $35 flight, I'm basically healed."
This made people realise than it was all likely an elaborate scheme engineered to get eyes on the company amid people's attention for further info, and the backlash has caused the 'fake' daughter to private her account.
While the facts still remain relatively unclear, people have pointed out that Byron doesn't have a daughter and instead has two sons, which some were able to see on his wife's Facebook page before she deleted it.
Some people have also found the 'real' Marina in the form of musician Julie Tuzet, who has directly responded to the developments with a TikTok of her own, clarifying that she is not Byron's daughter.
