Barry Keoghan opens up about online bullying

3/23 Edited to

... Read moreDealing with online bullying can be an incredibly isolating experience, especially for public figures like Barry Keoghan, who constantly find themselves in the spotlight. From personal experience and stories shared by many, stepping away from social media or online interactions can provide much-needed relief. Barry mentions that he has "removed himself from online," highlighting a protective measure many take to safeguard their mental health. However, even when offline, the curiosity to understand how one is perceived or how an event was received remains strong. This conflict between wanting to stay connected and the negative impact of abuse is common among celebrities and ordinary people alike. The constant barrage of hateful comments, especially targeting appearance or personality, can deeply affect self-esteem and make it difficult to engage socially. Barry’s honesty about feeling shy and retreating inward resonates with many who have faced similar emotional challenges. It’s important to recognize the seriousness of online harassment and the way it can disrupt daily life, causing individuals to avoid public events or social outings to protect themselves. This underlines the need for more compassionate online environments and stronger measures to combat such abuse. I’ve personally witnessed friends and colleagues struggle with similar issues. Taking breaks from social media, seeking support from trusted friends or professionals, and focusing on activities that bring joy can be helpful coping strategies. Celebrities like Barry speaking openly about these struggles help in lifting the stigma around mental health and encourage a broader conversation on how to create safer spaces online.

“Eat the Rich” Movies 📺🎬
1. The Purge, 2013 ⭐️5.7/10 – My summary says it all, I went in to this movie without high expectations. When I came out my expectations were pretty much right on the dot. I knew this would focus more on being a survival/thriller movie rather than something that would be in depth and lets be real

Will be interesting to see how this fares. Obviously Abel wants to be taken seriously as an actor/creator in the film and TV space but I could see critics panning this like they did The Idol. Feels more like a streaming release than a theatrical film. But maybe it’s a stroke of genius who knows?
