"What a strange feeling it is to wake up to death threats," he began the post.
"It is simply impossible to fully capture the complexity of one's identity or character through a screen. Not through a couple feed posts each week or stories on your phone screen. Not even through an hour a day five days a week for a month on your TV screen.
"Some of you will be disappointed to see that I am indeed the same private and cerebral man you have taken some time to get to know. Not a man seeking to prove others wrong but a man with an understanding that my time on earth is limited and my body is merely a vessel for my soul.
"I choose to spend my time on pursuing the things that I find fulfilment in, like gaining a greater understanding of the world around me while also remembering the fact that I know nothing about the world around me."
He continued: "There have been several accusations against my character since the moment I entered the public eye. I have repeatedly and will continue to choose not to combat or speak out against the hate.
"Of course, generally speaking I will avoid over exposure to negativity but I also understand that naturally I will come across it. To the hate I encounter… I will process, reflect, and think to myself, 'What can I learn from this?' Like I try to do with all things I experience in life."
The reality star went on to assure fans of his well-being, writing: "I am okay and find comfort in knowing things will only get better moving forward. I promise."
