Barry Keoghan responds to ‘lies’ and ‘hate’ after Sabrina Carpenter’s breakup was reported

Actor Barry Keoghan is asking people to treat him and his family with respect.

The Salt burn The star took to Keoghan did not mention Carpenter by name, but rumors that he cheated on the “Espresso” singer flooded social media after news of their split surfaced.

“I can only sit and take so much,” Keoghan wrote in the screenshot of a message he posted on the social media app. “My name has been dragged all over the internet in ways I normally don’t respond to (sic). I have to respond now because it’s getting to the point where too many boundaries are being crossed.

Keoghan, who said he had “deleted” his account in recent days – apparently referring to his Instagram – called the messages he received “absolute lies, hate, disgusting comments about my appearance, character, how I am as a parent and everything else inhumane comments’. whatever you can imagine.”

“It drags on my character and everything I have worked extremely hard for and what I stand for. Talking about how I was a heroine (sic) baby and how I grew up and dragged my dear mother into it too.”

He claimed that people knocked on his grandmother’s door, but also sat outside the home of his two-year-old son Brando, whom he shares with his ex Alyson Sandro.

That, he wrote, is “crossing a line.”

“Every day I work harder to push myself at every level to be the healthiest and strongest person for that boy,” says the Eternals actor wrote. “I want to provide him with opportunities to learn, fail and grow. I want him to be able to look up to his father, to have complete trust in me and to know that I will support him no matter what. I want you to remember that he needs to read ALL of this about his dad when he’s older. Be respectful to everyone.”

Keoghan and Carpenter started dating in 2023 and appeared together at the Met Gala in May. The two also starred in Carpenter’s “Please, Please, Please” music video in June.

In November, the Irish star gushed about his then-girlfriend in an interview The Jess Cagle Show with Julia Cunningham on SiriusXM Radio and said, “I don’t know anyone who works that hard, you know, I’m in awe of her. Looking at her work and how dedicated and the standards that she sets, you know. Especially because she’s in that music video, she knows the vision, she knows what she wants.

Neither has spoken out about the breakup.
