Barry Keoghan, the Oscar-nominated Irish actor, has deactivated his Instagram account due to harassment he and his family have faced following his reported break-up with pop star Sabrina Carpenter. In a statement, Keoghan expressed his frustration with the lies and hatred he has been subjected to online, including attacks on his appearance, character, and parenting skills. He also mentioned that his son and grandmother have been targeted by fans, with some even knocking on his grandmother’s door and intimidating his son. Keoghan has been candid about his difficult childhood and has previously spoken out against online trolls using his son as ammunition. He emphasized his commitment to being a strong and healthy parent for his son and asked for respect in the face of online harassment. Keoghan had been in a relationship with Carpenter for almost a year and appeared in one of her music videos before their reported split last week. Keoghan is currently filming for the Peaky Blinders movie for Netflix. He urged fans to be respectful, especially considering his son will one day read all the hurtful comments about his father.
