According to reports from The Blast, Byron allegedly spent $40,000 (over Rs 35 lakh) on video calls with 23-year-old OnlyFans creator Sophie Rain (real name Izabella Blair). Leaked messages, reportedly shared by Byron’s wife, Megan Kerrigan, reveal he used a hidden Instagram account to arrange explicit video calls with Rain. In one exchange, Byron allegedly wrote, “All good. Most guys I talk to are married,” to which Rain responded, “Okay, call me in 5 mins [winky face].” While Rain did not confirm Byron as a client, she referenced the Coldplay incident, stating, “Cheaters are the worst people on this planet.”

Camilla Araujo, a 29-year-old Brazilian model and head of the OnlyFans group “Bop House,” told The Blast that Byron’s spending spanned multiple creators, totalling a quarter of a million dollars on subscriptions, custom content, and calls. Araujo also contacted Kerrigan to offer support, saying, “I told her she’s not alone. Women need to stand together when someone tries to humiliate and betray them like this, especially so publicly. I’m here for her.”
Who is Sophie Rain?
Sophie Rain, a native of Miami, Florida, was born to a white father and a Filipino mother. She made news in late 2024 when private content from her OnlyFans account was leaked online. This development came not long after she disclosed a screenshot of her OnlyFans dashboard, revealing the astonishing returns she was making from the website. By February 2025, she claimed to have made over $50 million in net profit from the adult streaming platform.
Before switching to OnlyFans, Sophie Rain was popular on TikTok and Instagram for her lip-sync and dance videos. To date, she has over 7.5 million followers on Instagram and 11 million on TikTok. According to reports, before becoming an internet personality, she was a low-paid restaurant waitress. Getting fired from this job ultimately led to her becoming an OnlyFans model, reports said.
