Barry Keoghan has released a lengthy statement amid his breakup from Sabrina Carpenter. After deleting his Instagram account, the Saltburn star hopped on Twitter to explain the decision and defend himself against post-breakup bullying.
“I can only sit and take so much. My name has been dragged across the internet in ways I usually don’t respond to,” he said. “I have to respond now because it’s gettin to a place where there are too many lines being crossed. I deactivated my account because I can no longer let this stuff distract from my family and my work. The messages I have received no person should ever have to read them. Absolute lies, hatred, disgusting commentary about my appearance, character, how I am as a parent and every other inhumane thing you can imagine.”
“Dragging my character and everything I worked extremely hard for and stand for,” he continued. “Talking about how I was a heroine baby and how I grew up and dragging my dear mother into it also. Knocking on my grannie’s door. Sitting outside my baby boy’s house intimidating them. That’s crossing a line.”
He concluded his statement with, “Each and every day I work harder to push myself on every level to be the healthiest and strongest person for that boy. I want to provide opportunities for him to learn, fail and grow. I want him to be able to look up to his daddy, to have full trust in me and know I will have his back no matter what. I need you to remember he has to read ALL of this about his father when he is older. Please be respectful to all. Thank u x.”
