Barry Keoghan finally broke the silence on the hate he received over his split from Sabrina Carpenter.

Taking to his X account on Saturday, the 32-year-old actor dismissed the claim that he was unfaithful to the Espresso songstress, pleading with trolls to stop ruining the reputation he had worked "extremely hard" to build.

"I have to respond now because it's getting to a place where there are too many lines being crossed,” wrote Barry.

The Irish actor revealed that he “deactivated” his account “because I can no longer let this stuff distract from my family and my work.”

"The messages I have received no person should ever have to read them. Absolute lies, hatred, disgusting commentary about my appearance, character, how I am as a parent and every other inhumane thing you can imagine,” continued the Saltburn star.

“Dragging my character and everything I worked extremely hard for and stand for,” he added.

Barry, who spent his childhood in the care system in his native Ireland, pleaded with social media users to be "respectful" to him.

"Talking about how I was a heroine baby and how I grew up and dragging my dear mother into it also,” he penned. "Knocking on my grannies door.”

"Sitting outside my baby boys house intimidating them. Thats crossing a line,” the Bird actor further penned.

"Each and every day I work harder to push myself on every level to be the healthiest and strongest person for that boy. I want to provide opportunities for him to learn, fail and grow. I want him to be able to look up to his daddy, to have full trust in me and know I will have his back no matter what,” he added. "I need you to remember he has to read ALL of this about his father when he is older.

For those unversed, Barry called it quits with Sabrina earlier this week.

After the couple’s breakup, an insider told People magazine that, "He (Barry) was a fantastic boyfriend to her and was very present through all she was going through as her career took off – he worked very hard to be there for her when she needed someone most.”

“They had a great relationship and he really cared deeply about her – which you could see via the comments he would often leave on her Instagram page,” explained the confidant.
