Mayo TikTok star Garron Noone has deactivated his main social media accounts.
The Ballina man became famous with his funny videos on Irish cuisine and culture, often with a Mayo twist to it. He is known for his line "follow me, I'm delicious".
A video posted two days ago, in which he shared his opinions on Conor McGregor's visit to the White House and immigration in Ireland, sparked a backlash.

Yesterday, Noone published a follow-up video on social media, explaining "I'm absolutely not anti-immigration. I want to be very clear: Fu** the far-right and stay delicious."
But now his main TikTok and Instagram accounts are not available any more. While it is unclear why Mr Noone decided to do this, numerous personalities are posting videos in support of him mentioning 'bullying' as the reason.
For example, Miriam Mullins, radio presenter at Cork Red.fm, said "I'm so appalled. The internet lately has been getting on my nerve. But this is taking the biscuit. One of my favourite people, to watch and follow on TikTok, I'd literally sit down every evening with my cup of tea and watch Garron Noone."
Mullins continued to explain, that Garron has 'literally been bullied off the fu***** internet' and added 'Why are people twisting his narrative? He's not racist. That's ridiculous.'

Also popular Castlebar native and podcaster, Alan Clarke, who is known to be friends with Garron Noone, posted a video. Clarke asked people to share their best memories of Garron Noone videos with him.
The respective videos are still being shared on TikTok at least, as some people saved them. User 'Col' writes "I'm furious at those of you who have bullied him off the socials."
Also entrepreneur Nadia Adan came out in support of Garron Noone: "I'm horrified and disgusted at what I've seen tonight. A good friend of mine has taken down his accounts due to the bullying and harassment he's been receiving. He is the most kindest soul, the most gentle person. And to see now, that he has taken his accounts down for the harassment he's been getting, well, if that's the case, you can cancel me as well."
People on social media have started using the hashtag #supportforgarron or #againstbullying or #garronforpresident.
