Barry Keoghan Says Online Abuse Affects His Life
- On March 20, Barry Keoghan, Irish actor, said he has largely gone into hiding and avoided public events to escape online harassment, after his 2024 breakup with Sabrina Carpenter.
- Harassment intensified after Keoghan's December 2024 split from Sabrina Carpenter, prompting him to withdraw from social media and question his future in film.
- Quoting his recent interview, Keoghan said he removed himself from online life but still checks reception, warning that negativity bleeding into his art made him avoid performances; netizens’ direct messages like 'He creeps me out' pushed him to this.
- Professionally, Keoghan remains active despite his reduced public profile, starring as Ringo Starr in Sam Mendes, director's four-film Beatles project releasing in April 2028.
- Protecting his family motivated Keoghan's decision to step back from social media, as he worries online backlash could affect Brando and has stopped posting about him to shield the child.
