Oscar-nominated actor Barry Keoghan famed for his role in The Banshees of Inisherin and Saltburn, has deactivated his Instagram account in response to relentless and hurtful online harassment.
The actor voiced his distress over the “disgusting commentary” and “absolute lies” that have been spread about his character, family, and personal life, including his relationship with his infant son and recent breakup with singer Sabrina Carpenter.
Keoghan took to X (formerly Twitter) to address the troubling rumours and attacks that have surfaced following reports of his breakup with Carpenter and the ongoing public scrutiny of his role as a father.
In a heartfelt statement, the actor explained the toll that these unkind comments have taken on him and his loved ones.
He continued by revealing the extent of the harassment, writing, “I deactivated my account because I can no longer let this stuff distract from my family and my work.” (ANI)
