On an episode of The Megyn Kelly Show podcast that was shared on Jan. 17, Kelly used the actress for instance of younger folks turning to cosmetic surgery.

“More and more young women are doing this,” Kelly mentioned on her podcast. “It’s not about an objection to plastic surgery, it’s about an obsession with turning yourself into this fake version of yourself… I find it 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.’”

Moriarty defined that the photograph Kelly used to assert she had cosmetic surgery was when she “got my make up done that day and it involves major contouring and I remember leaving and feeling pretty.”

“This is becoming harassment,” Moriarty added. “This is becoming false news.”

Moriarty additionally introduced she was leaving Instagram and social media and “the only reason I have not deactivated my account is because I will be leaving this [statement] here. Otherwise, consider it deactivated. I will not have access to it for an extensive, if not permanent, break.”

The Prime Video star mentioned that she is “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.”

“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. 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,” she mentioned.
