He also slammed viscous trolls who have targeted his family, his eight-year-old son Freddie and even his late mum Johannah Deakin, who sadly died in 2016 aged 43 after a a battle with leukaemia.
Louis took to his X account and wrote: '"The last few months have made it impossible to be on here.
"All the conspiracy chat about my relationship, my son or even stretching sometimes to opinions on my Mum.
"It's just too much and too hurtful for me to see! Thank you to everyone who always has my back!"
Louis shares his son with ex-girlfriend, Briana Jungwirth. They welcomed Freddie on 2016.
Louis has been dating documentary-maker Zara, 28, since March, just two months after she split from Sam Thompson.
In May, Louis returned to his X profile to promote his new track, but admitted it felt like a strange place.
He said at the time: "Haven't really used this (X) much for a while. Seems to be such a weird place these days...
"Anyway feeling really good about the next record. Staying positive."

She was all smiles as she shook her hips from side to side with a drink in hand.
Zara wore a skin-tight sky blue top and wore her hairs in loose curls.
She and her friend had VIP lanyards around their necks and snapped away at Louis' performance.
The couple's relationship appears to be going from strength to strength since The Sun revealed their secret romance in March.
They went Instagram official with a cute photo from their time at Glastonbury.
Sharing a series of snaps from the weekend, he captioned the update: "Glasto 25" - including a group one with Louis cosied up next to Zara.
She wrote: "Best weekend ever."
The Sun revealed how Louis was spotted supporting Zara at her charity talk at the famous festival.
The Love Island star turned BBC documentary maker was part of a serious panel with Refuge charity and Louis was watching her.
The talk, entitled How to Create Societal Change: Tackling Violence Against Women and Girls took place on the small Information stage.
An onlooker said: "Zara looked a bit nervous but kept smiling at Louis and he made sure he was in her eyeline and was beaming back at her.
"It was really sweet to watch, they certainly seem very smitten with each other.
"He disappeared just before it ended so he could go back stage and be reunited with her, but it was heartwarming to see him being a dutiful, loved up boyfriend."
Speaking after the talk Zara said: "I'm not camping but I'm absolutely loving it.
"I literally just got here just before this talk so this is my first day.
"I'm staying here for a few days with some friends. Yeah Louis is here too."
The pair have also enjoyed a holidays in Costa Rica together, including a trip to a secluded villa where Louis was recording music.
They were also seen holding hands and kissing in Malibu, California.

Mabel marries fiancé Preye Crooks after splashing out on an incredible London venue with 150 guests including celebrity attendees

Mabel has married her fiancé Preye Crooks in a London ceremony over the weekend. The singer, 29, tied the knot with the music executive after spending five figures on hiring the ictoria and Albert Museum in Chelsea to host 150 guests. According to the Sun, guests including Miquita Oliver and her mother Andi partied the night away drinking drinking champagne and margaritas. An insider told the publication: 'It was quite an intimate affair initially — they had a nice dinner with their closest friends and family to kick things off. 'Then more of their loved ones turned up to celebrate with them in style later in the evening. They all had a brilliant time and Mabel and Preye looked so in love.' The venue typically costs around £10,000 to hire for wedding parties. The couple got engaged in November last year. Preye is the son of former Spurs footballer Garth Crooks. After Preye popped the question, she proudly showed off her sparkling diamond ring in a video online. They celebrated with a huge party as the couple were joined by family and friends, with one pal sharing a glimpse of the bash to TikTok. Mabel, who's full name is Mabel Alabama-Pearl McVey, looked sensational in a pink silk gown and couldn't wipe the smile off her face as she showed off her huge diamond ring which was custom-designed at Jewelry Palace - a family owned company in Los Angeles. Meanwhile Preye, who has been dating the singer since 2021, cut a dapper figure as he made a speech to mark the occasion. The couple looked happier than ever as they slow danced surrounded by rose petals and candles while their guests cheered. @feybakare1 Whenever you spoke about her, I knew you really loved her. It was very clear from the start, just how deeply you felt for her. With any and everything you did, you put her first and I learnt a lot from you in that sense and I'm blessed to have seen your relationship blossom and fluorish 😁 To happily ever after for you both 😁💍🖤🤞🏾 ♬ Swimming - Flawed Mangoes In the gushing post their friend Fet Bakare wrote: 'Whenever you spoke about her, I knew you really loved her. It was very clear from the start, just how deeply you felt for her'. 'With any and everything you did, you put her first and I learnt a lot from you in that sense and I'm blessed to have seen your relationship blossom and fluorish, To happily ever after for you both'. Sony music A&R Preye also runs the Strawberries & Creem Festival and is the son of former BBC sports pundit Garth Crooks, 66. Meanwhile Mabel is the daughter of Swedish singer Neneh Cherry, who has released six studio albums; the first of which, Raw Like Sushi, reached number three in the UK Albums chart. She has been nominated for a Grammy Award and has two Brit Awards under her belt - and while her daughter Mabel is certainly catching up to her mother, the young singer hasn't quite reached Neneh's heights yet. Her debut single Finders Keepers, released in 2017, reached number eight on the UK Singles Chart. This was followed up two years later with the release of her album High Expectations at number three in the Albums Chart - which later went platinum. In 2020, just three years after bursting onto the scene, she won a Brit Award for British Female Solo Artist. In 2018, her musician mother Neneh spoke about nurturing her daughter Mabel in the music industry, revealing she is in awe of her. The songstress spoke of the then 21-year-old's success and reflected on motherhood, in an interview with the Evening Standard Magazine admitting she wasn't always 'emotionally accessible'. She said: 'Mabel is unbelievable and so focused and it's hard out there. 'She gets up sometimes and she's doing two or three sessions a day. I'm in awe of her and so I try to support her with basic mum things, like making her a take-out lunch.' Mabel previously insisted she doesn't want her parents' help when it comes to her own music career. 'When I was in my teens, and was like, 'I really want to do music',' she told the publication. I felt quite embarrassed by being my mum and dad's daughter. I thought, 'People will never take me seriously'.'

Love Island fans predict the downfall of Dejon just one week before the final as Harry's brother and Meg's sister both reveal some home truths whilst his own family defend his actions

While Dejon may have been one of the favourites to win the show, viewers are convinced the family and friends episode may have marked his downfall. The Islanders were surprised by the arrival of their loved ones during Monday night's show, as the end of the series nears and all eyes are on the final. One particularly awkward exchange took place between Dejon and his girlfriend Meg's sister, who made no secret of her feeling towards their romance. This was coupled with Harry's brother sharing his own home truths about Dejon, while Dejon's family jumped to his defence over his villa antics. Meg was reunited with her mother Nathalie and older sister Paige earlier, whilst Dejon got to see his mum Demelza and his sister Gene in scenes that aired this evening. Meg's family had concerns over the relationship, Nathalie and Paige immediately grilled Meg's boyfriend Dejon. In awkward scenes, Meg defended Dejon as her mum and sister warned her that she 'lets him away with a lot', as well as branding him a 'player'. Paige also went on to call out how Dejon's recoupling speeches always follow the same pattern. Meg's sister Paige wanted answers, saying to Meg: 'You let him get away with a lot though, why?' Meg was very defensive, insisting that Dejon has stepped up as a partner after the pair went exclusive, then boyfriend and girlfriend. Elsewhere Dejon's mum Demelza had some thoughts for her son saying: 'In the beginning it was like you had verbal diarrhoea. 'No mother needs to hear about your threesomes and how much you looooooove sex. I just wanted to go, "Shut up!"' Dejon's mum added: 'You're a big flirt, didn't know that.' 'You lot just come in to cook me or what?' Dejon stiffly replied, before his sister Gene insisted: 'We've been watching you for the last how many weeks - you need this feedback!' However Dejon's family were generally supportive of his experience and even blamed other members of the villa for his behaviour. Sharing their thoughts on the episode, viewers said: 'Dejon getting called out by literally all the parents, inject it! #LoveIsland'; 'LOOOOL DEJON GOT ZERO RATINGS'; 'Dejon's family being just like him and not checking him on his behaviour to the other girls says everything tbh and instead blaming them'; 'Dejon getting found out by Meg and Harry's family'. Many others were relieved to see Meg's sister give him a piece of her mind after he spent the first few weeks entertaining other women. They said: 'Very glad Meg's sister told her what's what about Dejon! That's something at least. Will it make an impact? Doubt it. I'll be surprised if it does tho'; 'Meg's sister is saying the right things but Dejon's mum is enabling Dejon'; 'Only Meg's older sister has sense'; 'I wish we had Meg's sister in the villa'; 'Meg's sister is clocking but you can't save someone who don't wanna be saved'; 'I actually love the way Meg's sister is not ramping with either of them'; 'Not Meg's mum and sister warning her and Dejon's mother and sister praising him...'; 'Meg's sister clocking Dejon real bad! GET HIM AGAIN FOR ME!'; Many others were relieved to see Meg's sister give him a piece of her mind after he spent the first few weeks entertaining other women Others noted Harry's family warning him about Dejon talking behind his back. They said: 'I'm glad Harry's friend told him about Dejon because he's a snakey man'; 'Harry's family even bringing Dejon's stocks lower down is cracking me up'; "With mates, you crucify them in private and support them in public" This is exactly what the issue was with Dejon. He didn't call out his mate for his moves but instead laughed behind his back with the others'. 'Harry's fam doesn't like Dejon at all also Dejon being stone faced'.
