Erin Moriarty, known for her role in “The Boys,” recently made the decision to leave Instagram after facing criticism from Megyn Kelly regarding alleged plastic surgery. In response to Kelly’s accusations, Moriarty expressed her dismay and announced her departure from the platform in a two-slide post.
Moriarty condemned the dissemination of what she described as “disgustingly false” and “ironically misogynistic” content, referring to Kelly’s podcast segment with Michael Knowles where plastic surgery was labeled a “social illness.” Kelly specifically mentioned Moriarty as an example of someone with an “addiction” to cosmetic procedures, showcasing images of the actress to illustrate her point.
Expressing her horror at the widespread nature of the reactions to Kelly’s video, Moriarty emphasized that the situation serves as a “primary example” of harassment that has deeply affected her. She also highlighted the impact of social media on her ability to connect with fans, share her beliefs, and provide updates, but ultimately decided to redirect her energy towards her work.
In conclusion, Moriarty stated that she would no longer engage with the negativity on her account and emphasized that the allegations and verbal abuse she faced were unacceptable. She made it clear that she would not tolerate the false information being used to perpetuate a message that contradicts her values.
