Outlander Star Sam Heughan Opens Up About 'Six Years of Constant Bullying': 'I'm So Hurt'

“I’m so hurt by this,” he wrote. “As an actor in these time, we feel impotent. We can’t do much but I have tried to use what leverage I have to provide a voice to charities that need it and hopefully a little entertainment or light relief. For those still unhappy I suggest you unfollow.”

The actor then thanked the fans who have stood by his side over the past several years.

“I’m so grateful, from the bottom of my heart,” he concluded. “Stay safe and please be kind to yourself and each other.”

Hours after Heughan’s post, the hashtag #WeStandWithSam began trending on social media, with multiple Outlander fan accounts sharing their support for the actor.
