"I deactivated my 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."

Keoghan continued: "Dragging my character and everything I worked extremely hard for and stand for.
"Talking about how I was a heroine baby and how I grew up and dragging my dear mother into it also.
"Knocking on my grannies door. Sitting outside my baby boys house intimidating them. That's crossing a line.
"Each and every day I work harder to push myself on every level to be the healthiest and strongest person for that boy."
Keoghan has a two-year-old son, Brando, who he welcomed with his ex-girlfriend Alyson Sandro in August 2022.

The Bird star added: "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.
The statement concluded: "I need you to remember he has to read ALL of this about his father when he is older. Please be respectful to all. Thank u x."
