Moriarty brought the online harassment to light when she reposted an article titled “#IStandWithStarlight?: The Betrayal of Erin Moriarty by The Boys Fans” to her Instagram account. The Boys star highlighted the paralyzing effect of the abuse, which included unkind and sexualized taunts at her character. Moriarty’s Starlight in the series faces similar issues rooted in misogyny, but the veil separating reality and fiction does not distance Moriarty from senseless hate and criticism, which prompted Kripke’s response on Twitter.
