“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.
