Erin Moriarty is not here for the hate.
The “Boys” star took to Instagram Friday to passionately address Megyn Kelly’s claim that she is “obsessed” with plastic surgery and the intense bullying that followed.
“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,” she began in her lengthy post.
“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.”
During her Jan. 17 podcast discussion with Michael Knowles of the “Daily Wire,” Kelly, 53, accused Moriarty, 29, of going under the knife and receiving injections to “completely change her face.”
Erin Moriarty has responded to Megyn Kelly’s claims that she’s had lip fillers, cheek implants and a nose job. YouTube/@MegynKelly“She’s got the Kim Kardashian lips. She’s made her nose so skinny it looks like a pencil now. She’s got, like, what appear[s] to me to be cheek implants,” the former Fox News host theorized as she compared what she claimed to be a “relatively recent” photo of Moriariy to an even more recent one.
“More and more young women are doing this,” Kelly lamented.
“It’s not about an objection to plastic surgery, it’s about an obsession with turning yourself into this fake version of yourself.”
The actress took to her Instagram Friday to share a lengthy message in which she denied the news reporter’s claims and said she was “horrified.” Instagram/@erinelairmoriartyKelly also said she sees getting work done to one’s face as a sign of “mental illness.”
Moriarty clapped back at the photo comparison, saying Kelly used an image of her that was taken before she turned 21 years old.
The after photo that Kelly used, Moriarty explained, was taken after she had her makeup done, which involved “major contouring.”
Moriarty said she feels the need to take a social media break but will be leaving her message up. Getty Images “There’s no excuse for these horrific allegations, the verbal abuse that I have had to delete, and genuinely false information that is being used to perpetuate a message that is exhibitionist feminism,” she stated. Getty Images for Vanity Fair“I remember leaving and feeling pretty [after getting my makeup done],” she noted.
Moriarty has since deleted the photo in question from her Instagram feed.
