Barry Keoghan, known for his roles in movies like The Killing of a Sacred Deer, has taken a step back from social media after facing intense scrutiny from fans. The actor, who was recently linked to singer Sabrina Carpenter, decided to deactivate his Instagram account following what he calls "disgusting commentary" about him online. Fans have been showing up at his family's homes and even knocking on his grandmother's door, which Keoghan finds highly upsetting.

Keoghan shared his thoughts in a statement, expressing that he usually doesn't respond to online attacks. However, the situation has escalated to a point where he felt he had to take action. "I have to respond now because it’s getting out of hand, " he said. The actor mentioned that he wants to provide a healthy environment for his son and doesn't want him to read negative comments about his father in the future.

Keoghan's relationship with Carpenter has been a topic of interest among fans, with many assuming their collaboration in her music video "Please Please Please" was more than just professional. Recent reports of their split have sparked a wave of negative comments and even physical harassment from fans.

The actor wants his fans to be respectful and remember that his actions are aimed at creating a positive environment for his family. He emphasized that he works hard to be a good role model for his son. Keoghan, who will be playing Ringo Starr in an upcoming Beatles movie by director Sam Mendes, wants his fans to focus on his work rather than his personal life.
