Actor Barry Keoghan admitted that he faced extensive online harassment
The alleged reason for the harassment was reports about the actor's breakup with the rising singer Sabrina Carpenter, whom he had been dating for about a year, reports The Guardian.
Some users believe their breakup happened due to Barry's infidelity with blogger Breckie Hill, although she denies it. Keoghan admitted to fans that he is tired of insults and slander directed at him. The actor shared that people leave offensive comments about his appearance online. Additionally, haters recalled his difficult childhood spent in foster care and his mother's death from drug addiction. They believe Barry allegedly encouraged his mother to use illegal substances.
Remarkably, the harassment affected not only the actor but also his two-year-old son and grandmother. According to Keoghan, unknown individuals knocked on his elderly relative's door and threatened his son, waiting outside the house.
The actor assures that he strives to be the best father for his child and wants his son to be proud of him. He urged internet users to show respect, reminding them that his son will read everything written about his father in the future.
Zoomboola.com reminds us that the child was born during Barry's relationship with a woman named Alison Sandro, who worked as a dentist. They named their son after Keoghan's favorite actor, star of the film "A Streetcar Named Desire," Marlon Brando.
Their firstborn arrived in 2022, but this did not prevent the couple from breaking up. The lovers parted ways at the end of 2023, after which Barry started dating singer Sabrina Carpenter.
However, the relationship with the artist did not last long. They split at the beginning of this year. Many then speculated that the Hollywood actor became infatuated with blogger Breckie Hill, but she quickly clarified that she never had a relationship with him.
