Erin Moriarty returned to social media to thank her fans for their support amid Megyn Kelly’s controversial plastic surgery claims.

The Boys star Erin Moriarty wants her fans to know she’s grateful for their support.

In January, Megyn Kelly criticized Erin Moriarty’s appearance on a podcast, alleging that the actress had several plastic surgery operations. Moriarty would later pen an emotional statement shared to Instagram denying the claims. She also said that the “bullying” over the false plastic surgery allegations had gone too far, and that she intended to leave social media as a result. In the days since, many of Moriarty’s fans have been offering support, and through her Instagram Stories, Moriarty returned to the platform to offer her thanks to the fans.

Per Deadline, the statement noted, “Dropping in to say 1) I love you all 2) v grateful to be holding my little dude again and 3) to [those] that came forward to talk to me, were vulnerable enough to share: you are f***ing amazing. Stories that should be heard FAR more than mine. I do believe we have a long way to go. In the meantime: talk to me. I wanna hear. Safe zones, empathy and/or sympathy, and catharsis: a medicinal combo. Trust me.”

Erin Moriarty Opened Up About Megyn Kelly in an Instagram Post

On Megyn Kelly’s podcast, the former Fox News personality emphasized her plastic surgery accusations against Erin Moriarty by comparing two separate images of the actress. Moriarty later clarified in her statement that the two images were taken about a decade apart, and the “after” photo was from a day she had heavy makeup applied that involved “major contouring.” She explained how she was feeling low and just wanted to be “feeling pretty” that day, unaware that it would later lead to online harassment.

“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,” Moriarty said of the treatment she endured. “You don’t have to believe me when I saw that these videos are absolutely false. But the way that this has been spoken about, the way that I have been spoken to, I will not accept.”

Meanwhile, fans can expect to see Erin Moriarty back on the small screen in the upcoming fourth season of The Boys. The new season doesn’t yet have a premiere date, but will be coming to Prime Video sometime in 2024. As fans know, Moriarty has been a favorite since the very start of the popular series.

Actress Erin Moriarty recently shared this image to her Instagram, sparking allegations from Megyn Kelly she had ‘completely changed her face’ with plastic surgery. In response, Moriarty said the image was taken a decade ago, and her changed look was only due to ‘contouring’.

Moriarty shared the response almost a week after Kelly’s controversial podcast remarks, saying she ‘had no idea what was going on ‘amid social media frenzy because she was going through ‘one of the most challenging weeks of my life.’

‘And I specifically thought that as I emerge this period of time – so stressed that I have BARELY been able to eat and sleep – I thought ok, I’m going to emerge this 10 pounds thinner and the verbal abuse/ accusations will be flying,’ she continued.

While Moriarty said she was expecting viewers to suspect she was on drugs or hit her with ‘a flippant ‘just eat a burger’ comment’, she was stunned by the hostile reaction that came instead.

‘You learn to become Teflon and move on – I had NO idea what was going on this time,’ she said in the 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 (sic) – to learn the widespread nature of this has left me horrified.’

Although Kelly claimed in her appearance that the image of Moriarty, which the actress shared recently on her Instagram before deleting it, was from ‘a year ago’, Moriarty said it was actually far older.

Moriarty, 29, slammed Kelly’s comments on her looks as ‘utterly misinformed, inaccurate and clickbait seeking’
