Barry Keoghan is finally setting the record straight on those Sabrina Carpentercheating rumors ... and he says the whole thing was bogus.
The actor popped up on the latest episode of Benny Blanco's "Friends Keep Secrets" podcast alongside Lil Dicky and Kristin Batalucco ... where he opened up about why he pulled back from social media and public appearances amid speculation he was unfaithful to Sabrina.
Barry says he completely stepped away from Instagram, social events, and even hanging out in the public eye because he felt buried under a narrative he says wasn't true.
He explained ... "There was a narrative out there that was never really sort of even spoken on -- a narrative that's not true -- and I never confirmed or said anything about it. And I just disappeared."
That's when Lil Dicky jumped in and asked the obvious question -- whether the rumor about cheating was true -- and Barry didn't dodge it!
He confirmed that's exactly what people were accusing him of ... saying, "Yeah, that I cheated."
Barry added that dating in the public eye can quickly spiral ... saying rumors get "amplified" online, and pointed to a woman allegedly posted a video fueling the cheating claims -- only to later admit she made it up.
The pair famously took their romance public when Barry played Sabrina's troublemaking love interest in her "Please Please Please" music video -- a role that had fans obsessing long before breakup rumors took over.
