Barry Keoghan rethinking career after online 'abuse' over his looks

Barry Keoghan says he withdrew from the internet and is asking people to be kinder after his breakup with Sabrina Carpenter sparked a wave of online bullying. “There’s a lot of hate online. It’s a lot of abuse of how I look,” he told SiriusXM’s "The Morning Mash Up," adding that, “I think I removed myself from online, but I’m still a curious human being that wants to go on and, if I attend an event or if I go somewhere, you want to see how it was received.

And it’s not nice.” He described the harassment as increasingly painful and said it has led him to avoid public appearances. “It’s becoming a problem,” Keoghan confessed. “I don’t have to hide away because I am hiding away. I don’t have to go to places because I actually don’t go to places because of these things.
