Actor Erin Moriarty detailed “verbal abuse” she has experienced since Megyn Kelly made comments on her SiriusXM show about Moriarty’s appearance and accused her of getting plastic surgery.
Erin Moriarty at the "Catching Dust" premiere at the Tribeca Festival in New York City on June 11.Luiz Rampelotto / EuropaNewswire via APMoriarty, 29, wrote in a lengthy Instagram post that she was emerging from "one of the most challenging weeks of my life" when she was hit with "a message about a disgustingly false, counterproductive to the degree of being ironically misogynistic video of Megyn Kelly" commenting on her weight and facial structure.
Moriarty, who stars in the Amazon Prime Video series "The Boys," said she was expecting "verbal abuse" and "accusations" when she returned to the limelight "10 pounds thinner" but that the abuse hurled at her since Kelly's comments has "horrified" her.
On a Jan. 17 episode of "The Megyn Kelly Show," Kelly compared an old photo of Moriarty — which Kelly said was taken within the last year — to a more recent one and accused her of deciding to "completely change her face" with plastic surgery.
Moriarty said in her Instagram post the first picture is from almost a decade ago, before she was "of legal drinking age."
