For the last two weeks, Niall Horan's been reportedly getting "swamped" with abusive messages from a group of "fans" who've been targeting his family, and even his baby nephew.
Well, enough is enough, and the Mullingar native took to this twitter to highlight that - while he's as carefree as they come - others in a similar situation might be more deeply affected.
The One Direction singer posted the following late last night...
For the last two weeks I've been receiving messages off a group of fans, they have drowned my phone in messages, keeping me awake at night

But the worst part is. They have been nothing but abusive . Saying things you wouldn't even believe about me and my family

And saying the worst things ever about my little nephew. Thank god I'm not the kind of person who thinks into stuff like this
— Niall Horan (@NiallOfficial) May 24, 2016
But I just think it's crazy how we let people away with things like this
— Niall Horan (@NiallOfficial) May 24, 2016
And the sad thing is . As I tweet this they are in the group chat laughing at me .

Don't worry about me .im the most carefree , laid back person around. But I'm just signalling it, because this shite is happening to others

Since posting, he's received a slew of support from true "fans" and celebs alike...
