THE BOYS Star Erin Moriarty Hits Back At Claims She's Undergone Extensive Plastic Surgery

Fans of The Boys have been sharing a belief that Starlight actress Erin Moriarty has had plastic surgery on her face, but a piece from former Fox News host Megyn Kelly has led to her quitting social media.

The Boys star Erin Moriarty has hit back at former Fox News host Megyn Kelly after she recently shared a video - which has since gone viral - claiming that the Starlight actress is suffering from a "social illness" and an apparent addiction to plastic surgery. 

The presenter shared a side-by-side shot of Moriarty, with before-and-after photos meant to show just how much the actress' appearance has changed in recent years. The newer photo, which was recently posted on Instagram, has since been deleted but Moriarty has now decided to quit social media altogether in response to the continued harassment she's faced online.

"This is something I truly never anticipated writing," Moriarty began in a lengthy two-slide post. "We're all subject to levels of bullying throughout our lives but I am horrified, and I felt that I deserved to take a second to address these things."

"To receive a message about a disgustingly false, counterproductive to the degree of being ironically misogynistic video of Megyn Kelly commenting on the manner - to learn the widespread nature of this has left me horrified."

Talking on The Megyn Kelly Show, the host shared her horror that Moriarty had seemingly undergone such drastic surgery, describing her as once being a "nice, beautiful, natural gal" before showing that newer image. "I thought it was just an AI-generated face...but apparently it’s real," she added. "She’s done this to herself."

To that, Moriarty said, "Megyn used a photo taken 'a year ago' according to her, that had in actuality been taken about a decade ago before I was of LEGAL DRINKING AGE (I'm about to turn 30) as an example (maybe do some research that would take 30 seconds)." She'd go on to say the newer photo was taken after, "[I got] my make up done that day and it involves major contouring and I remember leaving and feeling pretty."

Announcing her departure from social media, Moriarty concluded by saying she's "horrified by the reaction, the reductive assumptions, and the aforementioned video that is a primary example of such harassment. It's broken my heart. You've broken my heart."

Moriarty has indeed had to deal with a great many misogynistic comments (see below) and an alarming number of men seem to have taken an obsessive interest in her appearance in recent years. After all, this isn't the first time she's talked about being harassed online.

Check out her full statement, along with Kelly's comments, below.

She’s had work done, tho. How you buying a new face then getting upset people noticed? 🥴

@FireandBlood - Right? At the very least you can tell her lips were done (that never looks good to me, I dont understand it). Also looks like she had some buccal reduction done, possible even jaw enhancement. She looks fine either way.

@Shivermetimbers -

Exactly ! I mean we can’t pretend that she didn’t do anything.

I mean I get that she’s being bullied and all, but her being a public figure , what kind of message does it send that she lies about having wildly done?
I think it would be more productive to admit it and make it less taboo

@FireandBlood - But has she though? I've seen women use makeup to transform their faces so much that you would think they had work done. We can speculate but that's as far as it goes.

@MisterRiviera - Also states she had been going through a lot thus not sleeping or eating well and had thus lost a lot of weight too so tough to say anything definitive either way without even factoring in that some will call stuff like fillers or Botox plastic surgery when they are not (even if personaly against the stuff, their body their choice however for those who do have stuff like that done). Just think more than anything else it is rich someone most will assume has had a lot of surgery and/or uses fillers/botox being the one to call out anyone else on it regardless if any truth to it or not (in both cases).

She was so cute already. I blame the khardashians and all the bullSh they started. All these young girls think thats pretty now.

@valmic -

I blame the khardashians and all the bullSh they started.


Kardashians didn't start it, but they certainly helped further mainstream it via social media. Social media helped to readily propel these unrealistic standards around the world.

Young girls being insecure about their looks is a broader problem that has been reinforced across all media in various forms for generations I was alive when they were going bulimic and anorexic just to match Vogue magazine and the modeling industries "heroin chic" trends.

Common elective plastic surgery really started picking up steam in the 1970s and 1980s.

Honestly there's enough blame to spread around.

@valmic - Nothing wrong with the Kardashians. They're actually much kinder people than the folks that hate on them. I'll take kindness over hate ANY day.

Dang, she’s claiming that was makeup? I was always too nerdy as a teen to learn about makeup, but if it can make that drastic of a change I should start—maybe it can make my tubby face look like ScarJo’s! 😂😜

She's a public face, and she destroyed that face. Why is she surprised?

She destroyed her face with completely unnecessary plastic surgery.

She obviously shouldn't be bullied, but when you do something like that, people are going to react, and some/many of them will do it in a mean way.

But this is not something new, her face already looked very different in season 3, if you do something like that people will notice it and it's distracting, because almost every time she was on screen I couldn't avoid to think "why the f*ck did she have to do that to her face".

If I was a producer in a big show I would forbid actors by contract to touch their faces with surgery unless it was completely necessary for health reasons.

And as of late I've seen many other pretty young ladies doing similar mistakes, I know they are adults that can do whatever they want but I would retire their licences to the doctors that told them that it was ok to ruin their faces like that.

@SethBullock - i ageee on this being part of the contract. If they change too much, might as well recast

This is an illness. Too bad.
I don’t understand people who do things like that or get 1200 tattoos also. Or 80 things pierced. Or have 5 frying pans.
What the [frick] are you cooking that you need 5 frying pans!!!

Age is seen as an enemy in modern times. It slowly creeps on us and some look better than others (we can’t all be John Stamos). But that’s just life. We can try and go the plastic surgery route, but often times it makes us look plastic and unreal. Not to mention less appealing to many. Best thing we can do is lean into it and appreciate the grays as they come.

But what do I know? I’m just a waffle.

Wait she's saying this is all due to makeup?

I hear what she's saying but them lips are telling a different story to the ones she had before.

@AquaClunge - tbf lip injections and filler are super common and not considered plastic surgery. In six months her face will go back to normal (if she lets it lol)
Gizmoduck
Gizmoduck - 1/27/2024, 12:41 PM
@ReverseFlasher - it does not go back to normal, it gets weird, and wrinkly due to the stretching skin. Ive seen so many lip filler women who cant stop because when it goes away they look even worse. it similar to the synth oil guys who inject it to enhance their arms look.

I mean, Kelly ain't wrong...and no one should be bullied or harassed over this, but they need to be told the hard truth or this sickness will just keep spreading. Why this woman would believe in any way that she needs plastic surgery is beyond me. She's hurting herself, and as a public figure she's influencing younger girls to do the same. So....yes, bring on the public shaming.

I feel like she’s just lost weight since her face seems longer & skinnier to me (and she’s also getting older)….

The makeup in the newer picture doesn’t do her any favors imo but honestly , it’s none of my business.

We don’t know what’s been going on with her and it’s not right to make assumptions so let it be and leave her in peace.

She’s a good actress and I’m looking forward to seeing her arc as Starlight in The Boys S4 since I liked it and her so far!!.

The amount of people in these comments who clearly don't know how to read is shocking. She clearly explains the photo in question is over a decade old and the difference in looks is due to extensive makeup.

Contouring with makeup can make a huge difference in how people look, I remember a few years ago there was a thing circulating about a girl who'd apparently had a shit tonne of surgery to look like Angelina Jolie and looked like a zombie. Pretty sure she got arrested over it because she lives in Iran and it's considered blasphemy which is illegal there. She then had to come out and explain it was a hoax and it was all makeup, and she actually looked totally normal.

ReverseFlasher - 1/27/2024, 10:50 AM
@AC1 - did you see the newest season of boys? Between seasons she definitely had obvious lip injections and maybe some filler in her face too.

That being said you arent wrong about contouring or the photo.
