Stokes went on to hint that he would be taking a break from social media following the online attacks.
'I will forever be a person who ALWAYS puts my family first. With that being said, and with that dumb s**t. I'm out. See you when I see you,' he concluded.

Stokes was most recently in a relationship with Cline, 24. The duo, who play John B and Sarah Cameron on Outer Banks, first sparked dating rumors in 2020, after they shared that they were quarantining together.
They confirmed their relationship later that year and went on to accept the Best Kiss award for Outer Banks during the 2021 MTV Movie and TV Awards, where they shared a passionate onstage kiss.
Stokes and Cline called it quits months later, with a source telling People in November that 'they are definitely broken up.'
The following month, Stokes was spotted passionately kissing a mystery woman at Eden The Lounge in Orlando, Florida, in a viral video obtained by TMZ.

Val Bragg, who claimed to be the woman in the footage, denied rumors she was the reason Stokes broke up with Cline in a TikTok video.
She insisted he was 'single' when she met him, explaining that she received 'many hate comments' from people who called her a 'homewrecker.' She added that she is 'not dating' him — they were 'literally just two drunk people making out.'
Meanwhile, Cline has been linked to DJ Zack Bia. In December, they were spotted grabbing dinner at Giorgio Baldi and attending a Lakers game on her 24th birthday.
