Erin Moriarty's Public Statement on Plastic Surgery

After a year, Erin Moriarty has addressed the ongoing social media speculation about her face plastic surgery. She is leaving social media after facing torrents of abuse, sparked by false claims from Megan Kelly that she underwent plastic surgery.

Moriarty shared a message on Instagram through an image. “This is something I truly never anticipated writing. 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. I had no idea what was going on, to be honest, because I’ve had one of the most challenging weeks of my life. And I specifically thought that as I emerged from this period of time, I was so stressed that I had barely been able to eat or sleep.”

She continued, “I thought, OK, I’m going to emerge this 10 pounds thinner, and the verbal abuse and accusations will be flying—usually either drug use or just a flippant “eat a burger” comment. You learn to become Teflon and move on. I had no idea what was going on this time. To receive a message about a disgustingly false, counterproductive video of Megyn Kelly commenting on the manner—to learn the widespread nature of this—has left me horrified. 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). How utterly misinformed, inaccurate, and clickbait-seeking people we follow and consider to be informed is appalling. I got my make-up done that day, and it involved major contouring. I remember leaving and feeling pretty. And even that day was an immensely stressful day for me. I came running to those girls, and I showed up in tears after what had happened that day, and I left feeling better simply because I felt like they had reduced my lack of sleep and worked their magic wands. I saw the comments, scathing enough to just turn my comments off. But this is becoming harassment. This is becoming false news.”

Erin Moriarty is Now Unrecognizable With Her New Look

Moriarty’s new appearance angered fans, who criticized her for altering her face with surgery. Social media is buzzing with discussions about this. After receiving numerous hate comments on recent Instagram posts, she decided to limit comments. They think Moriarty lost her special charm and now looks like a typical Instagram influencer.
