“The Boys” star Erin Moriarty opened up this week about the cyberbullying she has endured since the third season of the superhero satire premiered in July.
On Instagram, Moriarty shared excerpts from a blog post written by a self-described “Boys” enthusiast named Anna, who condemned the “overwhelming malice and misogyny” directed at the 28-year-old actor. In the popular Amazon Prime Video series, Moriarty plays Annie January, aka Starlight, a tough but compassionate “supe” who teams up with regular humans in an effort to dismantle the superhero industrial complex.
The “unsolicited commentary on [Moriarty’s] appearance,” the “obsession with her looks and the extent of objectification is unmatched,” Anna writes in their essay.
