“I can only take so much,” Keoghan wrote in the screenshot of a message he posted on the social media app. “My name has been spread across the internet in a way that I don’t normally respond to either (sic). I have to respond now because it’s gotten to the point where too many lines are being crossed.”

Keoghan, who said he had “deleted” his account in recent days – apparently referring to his Instagram – described the messages he received as “absolute lies, hatred, disgusting comments about my appearance, my character, my role as parents and anything but inhuman.” something you can imagine.”

“I’m dragging out my character and everything I’ve worked extremely hard for and stand for. I talk about how I was a hero baby and how I grew up and also brought my lovely mother into it.”

He claimed people were knocking on his grandmother’s door and sitting outside the home of his two-year-old son Brando, whom he shares with his ex Alyson Sandro.

That was “crossing a line,” he wrote.

“Every day I work harder to push myself on every level to be the healthiest and strongest person possible for this boy,” he said Eternal actor wrote. “I want to give him 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 have his back no matter what. Remember that he will need to read EVERYTHING about his father when he is older. Please be respectful to everyone.”

Keoghan and Carpenter began dating in 2023 and appeared together at the Met Gala in May. The two also starred in Carpenter’s music video “Please, Please, Please” 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.” You know, watching her work and how dedicated she is and the standards she sets. Especially in this music video, she knows the vision, she knows what she wants.”

Neither of them has commented on the separation.
