Overview
- Keoghan, appearing Tuesday on the Friends Keep Secrets podcast hosted by Benny Blanco and Lil Dicky, said the cheating claim was false and asked people to stop pushing the story.
- He explained that sustained online attacks led him to delete social accounts and skip public events because he felt buried under a false narrative.
- He pointed to a TikTok influencer’s video that helped spread the rumor and noted her later apology saying she never met him drew far less attention.
- He described some of the abuse as targeting his late parents and his family and said the harassment made him not want to be on screen.
- The pair dated publicly from late 2023 until a December 2024 split, and Carpenter has not addressed his denial as both focus on their work while the online chatter continues.
