The Outlander star previously opened up about the ordeal on social media.
Outlander star Sam Heughan revealed he’d been the victim of bullying, harassment and stalking for years.
The Scottish star endured the deal for over six years, and in 2020 took to social media to share a candid post, alleging that the unnamed offenders subjected him to abuse and death threats as well as claiming he is a “closet homosexual”.
At the time, the Scot said he could not go into further details due to “ongoing legal reasons” but wrote that his tormentors are “professionals: teachers, psychologists, adults who should know better”.
His post read: “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. It’s affecting my life, mental state and is a daily concern.
“My costars, friends, family, myself, in fact anyone I’m associated with, has been subjected to personal slurs, shaming, abuse, death threats, stalking, sharing of private information and vile, false narrative. I’ve never spoken about it because I believe in humanity and have always hoped these bullies would just go away.”
Sam – who stars as Jamie Fraser in the time-travelling drama – said the abuse even went as far as to claim he had been manipulating fans, hiding his sexuality and trying to “exhort” fans for money.
“I’ve done none of the above,” he said. “I’m a normal guy and nothing like the characters I play.”
More recently, the star saw success when his own Gin brand Wild Scottish Gin won a double gold award for the ‘outstanding’ Wild Scottish Gin, at the WSWA Access Awards in Las Vegas.
Inspired by his home town in Scotland, the gin impressed the judges, with Sam delighted.
He took to social media to share the news, ” “Double GOLD for our outstanding Wild Scottish Gin!!! @wswaaccess
“So proud, this gin is inspired by my home town in Galloway and the incredible botanicals found in the hills, forests and glens of Scotland.
“Huge thank you to our amazing @sassenachspirits team!
“Get your gold!x”
