Kiss Cam Girl RESPONDS to Andy Byron’s Lawsuit… (The Truth Is Shocking!)
The viral “Kiss Cam” moment that had the internet buzzing has now taken a dramatic legal turn — and the woman at the center of it all is finally speaking out. The so-called “Kiss Cam Girl,” who shot to fame after rejecting a public kiss from Andy Byron during a live stadium broadcast, has officially responded to his surprising lawsuit… and her side of the story has fans shocked.
The Viral Moment
It all started at a packed sporting event last month, when the stadium’s Kiss Cam landed on Andy Byron and the woman sitting next to him. What began as a seemingly light-hearted moment quickly turned awkward when she appeared to dodge his attempted kiss, shaking her head and clearly mouthing “No.”
The clip quickly went viral, racking up millions of views across TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram. While most viewers applauded the woman for standing her ground, some began questioning whether there was more to the story — especially after Byron came forward claiming he had been “humiliated” and “defamed” by the incident.
The Lawsuit
Days after the clip exploded online, Andy Byron filed a lawsuit against the woman — whose name was not originally disclosed — claiming emotional distress, reputational damage, and “public embarrassment.” In court documents, Byron alleged the two were “on a date” and that the rejection was “staged” for attention.
The internet was divided. Some supported Byron, saying the public rejection felt “harsh,” while others believed suing over a Kiss Cam snub was ridiculous.
But now, the woman — identified as Melissa Carter, a 27-year-old digital content creator — has broken her silence, and what she revealed has completely flipped the narrative.
Melissa Carter Breaks Her Silence
In a video statement posted to her social media accounts, Melissa described the lawsuit as “absurd” and “a desperate attempt to flip a narrative he can’t control.” According to her, she and Byron were not dating — in fact, they had only met once before through mutual friends.
“He invited me to the game, I said sure — as friends. At no point did I suggest this was a date,” she said. “When the Kiss Cam came on us, I was caught off guard. He leaned in, and I leaned away. That’s it.”
But Melissa didn’t stop there. She claims Byron asked the stadium crew to put them on the Kiss Cam, hoping to “go viral” — a plan she was completely unaware of.
“This was his stunt, not mine,” she said. “And now that it didn’t go the way he wanted, he’s trying to sue me for it?”
Fans React
Social media exploded in response to Melissa’s video, with many slamming Byron for the lawsuit and applauding Melissa for standing her ground.
“Imagine suing someone because they didn’t kiss you. Grow up,” one commenter wrote.
Another said, “She dodged more than a kiss. She dodged a walking red flag.”
What’s Next?
Legal experts say the lawsuit stands on shaky ground, and Melissa’s public statement may shift public and legal opinion even further in her favor.
For now, the Kiss Cam saga continues — but it’s clear Melissa Carter is not backing down.
