Erin Moriarty’s Instagram has gone cold after the “Boys” star accused Megyn Kelly of making unsubstantiated claims that she’s had multiple cosmetic surgeries.

“It will be inaccessible for an extended period of time, if not permanently.”

Although Moriarty believes social media is a place where he can connect with his followers and share updates, he has decided to focus on work.

“I was in a hole and obsessed with this personal situation at hand. You never know what someone is going through and social media is a platform that is representative of the whole person. I am not, and there is no excuse for any words said directly to me or about me.”

Kelly, 53, went on a lengthy rant about Moriarty’s appearance on the Jan. 17 episode of his eponymous show, Sirius He also claimed to have had plastic surgery and injections.

“This is something I really didn’t expect to write. We’re all exposed to different levels of bullying throughout our lives, but I’m scared and I don’t want to give these things a little time. “I felt it was only natural that I should deal with this by taking the time to deal with it,” she wrote.

“I was horrified to learn of the widespread nature of the disgustingly false and counterproductive message I received in the ironically misogynistic video of Megyn Kelly commenting on manners. ”
