Barry Keoghan Shuts Down Instagram: “Dragged Across the Internet” and Fed Up with Trolls

Buy Me A Coffee

Barry Keoghan, our favorite Irishman with a knack for stealing scenes and breaking hearts, has officially peaced out of Instagram. The Banshees of Inisherin star hit the “deactivate” button on Friday (December 6) after a dramatic week of internet drama, thirst traps, and unsolicited opinions. And now, Barry’s out here giving us a heartfelt Twitter thread to explain the whole saga.

The Instagram Mic Drop
Apparently, Barry had been serving up some spicy thirst trap pics on his stories—you know, classic “look but don’t touch” vibes—only for the internet to collectively lose its chill. It didn’t help that this all followed his recent breakup with Sabrina Carpenter (yes, the Sabrina Carpenter) and some deeply personal interviews about growing up in foster care. Cue the trolls, haters, and amateur psychologists crawling out of the woodwork.

Barry opened his statement with a virtual mic drop:

“I can only sit and take so much. My name has been dragged across the internet in ways I usually don’t respond to,” he wrote.

Translation: The internet has been acting up, and Barry finally said, “Nope. Not today, Satan.”

When Trolls Cross the Line
Barry didn’t hold back. He described the sheer chaos of being a celebrity in the age of Wi-Fi and bad opinions.

“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.”

First of all, who are these people? Barry is out here minding his business, acting his heart out, and they’re dissecting his parenting skills like it’s an episode of Dr. Phil.

But wait, it gets worse. Barry revealed that trolls weren’t just keyboard warriors; they went full CSI: Dublin Edition:

“Knocking on my granny’s door. Sitting outside my baby boy’s house intimidating them. That’s crossing a line.”

Excuse us?! Barry’s granny and baby boy got dragged into this mess? The audacity of some people.

The Dad Energy We Need
Barry wrapped up his statement with some seriously heartfelt dad vibes. He reminded everyone that his first priority is being the best dad ever to his son.

“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 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.”

Basically, Barry’s out here doing squats, chasing Oscar gold, and dodging trolls—all to be a superhero dad. Internet haters? Not on his watch.

The Takeaway
Barry Keoghan might have deactivated Instagram, but he’s not going anywhere. He’s making movies, serving looks, and prioritizing family. So, to the trolls: take several seats. And to Barry: we’ll miss the thirst traps, but we’ve got your back. Keep shining, King. 🌟
