The Boys star(light), Erin Moriarty, has been facing brutal trolling for quite some time now, due to the changes that her face, in particular, has been going through, which have led people to believe that she has gone under the knife to change the way she looks. From vicious memes to fake rumors and body-shaming comments, Moriarty has endured every kind of cruelty on the internet, and eventually decided to not only call them out, but try and shut them up.

Erin Moriarty has spoken out on the real issue behind her face transformation and how the bullying she is facing for it is unwarranted.

Erin Moriarty has stated unequivocally that she has not had plastic surgery and that any speculations to the contrary are wholly false. Taking to Instagram, she addressed the matter head-on, calling the allegations "disgustingly false" and characterizing the persistent conjecture as blatant "harassment," in a now-inaccessible post.

The actress has been the target of unrelenting online trolling for years, with critics drawing comparisons between her appearance in the first season of The Boys and her more recent appearance on season 5. Social media users shared side-by-side pictures, frequently promoting the idea that she had developed a cosmetic procedure addiction. 

When well-known media personalities like Megyn Kelly talked about her appearance in a highly criticized program, the issue worsened even further. Moriarty acknowledged that she was terrified when she realized how widespread these claims had become, pointing out that the news was not only false but also harmful, calling it "counterproductive to the degree of being ironically misogynistic."

She has also clarified the reason behind the drastic changes her face has undergone in recent years.

Erin Moriarty was coping with a serious health problem while others were preoccupied with hearsay. In June 2025, the actress disclosed that she suffers from Graves disease, an autoimmune disorder. The body may experience a variety of effects from this condition, such as changes in appearance and weight loss.

Her mental health was severely impacted by all of this, by all the trolling, even causing her to get off social media for an indefinite amount of time. According to Moriarty, the ongoing criticism overwhelmed her, and at one point, she even worried that the rumors might harm her career. While she has been busy promoting the latest season of The Boys, one can hope this pointless antagonizing stops and people become more empathetic to her condition.
