Barry Keoghan has posted an emotional plea in the midst of swirling rumours about his breakup with Sabrina Carpenter.

The Saltburn actor deleted his Instagram account today and soon after took to X to post a statement saying that the hate he has been getting online has forced him to speak out.

He said that ‘the messages I have received no person should ever have to read them’ and claimed people have been ‘knocking on his grannies door’ and ‘sitting outside my baby boys house intimidating them.’

It’s a deeply emotional plea from the actor, who has remained silent up to this point about his split from pop diva Sabrina Carpenter.

The statement read in full: ‘I can only sit and take so much. My name has been dragged across the internet in ways I usually don’t respond too.

‘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. Talking about how I was a heroine baby and how I grew up and dragging my dear mother into it also. Knocking on my grannies door.
Sitting outside my baby boys house intimidating them. Thats crossing a line.

‘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’
