The Salt burn star wrote in a lengthy statement: “I can only sit and take so much. My name has been dragged around the internet in ways I wouldn’t normally respond to.
“I have to respond now because it’s getting to a point where too many boundaries are being crossed.
“I have deactivated my account because I can no longer let this stuff distract from my family and my work. The messages I have received, no one should ever read. Absolute lies, hate, disgusting comments about my appearance, character, how I am as a parent and every other inhuman thing you can think of.”
Barry stated that people “have dragged into my character and everything I’ve worked really hard for and what I stand for. Talking about how I was a heroine and how I grew up, and also dragging my dear mother into it. Knocking on the door of my grandmother.”
