"Outlander" star Sam Heughan is defending his decision to self-isolate in Hawaii, thousands of miles from his home in the United Kingdom during the coronavirus pandemic, after experiencing what he says is nonstop abuse from the online community.
The 39-year-old actor took to his Instagram on Friday to inform his over 2 million followers that his mental health has been affected by constant criticism he's endured for the past six years.
His breaking point came after he received "bullying" from adults who have criticized his whereabouts as the global health crisis rages on across the globe, he shared. "After the past 6 years of constant bullying, harassment, stalking and false narrative I am at a loss, upset, hurt and have to speak out,".
