Erin Moriarty has slammed Megyn Kelly in a new post after the former Fox News host claimed she got plastic surgery.
“The Boys” star, 29, took to Instagram Friday to clap back at Kelly, 53, for claiming on a recent episode of her eponymous podcast that the actress is “addicted” to cosmetic surgery.
“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,” Moriarty stated on Instagram.
“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,” she continued.
On Kelly’s show, she shared a “before” photo of the “Jessica Jones” alum that she called “relatively recent,” adding that is showed Moriarty looking like a “nice, beautiful, natural gal.”
In the “after” pic, the news broadcaster seemed shock at Moriarty’s supposed transformation,
“I thought it was just an AI-generated face… but apparently it’s real,” Kelly continued. “She’s done this to herself.”
“I find [plastic surgery] like a sign of mental illness. I really want to get in the heads of these young girls and say, ‘Please don’t do this,’” Kelly proclaimed.
Moriarty then explained in her lengthy statement yesterday that Kelly “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.”
She went on to note that the “after” snapshot was on a day that she “got my make up done” and it “involved major contouring and I remember leaving and feeling pretty.”
“This is becoming harassment,” Moriarty said. “This is becoming false news.”
“Shame on you Megyn Kelly. Shame on you, Fox News (Vought incarnate),” she scoffed.
She added: “[I am] 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.”
The “Captain Fantastic” star’s “The Boys” costars such as Jack Quaid and Chace Crawford shared their love and support for her in the comments.
Quaid wrote: “Love you, Erin. “F— the haters,” while the “Gossip Girl” alum shared a red heart emoji.
