Highlights

• Erin Moriarty's rumored plastic surgery has sparked mixed reactions among fans on X, with some expressing disappointment and concern.
• The pressure to uphold beauty standards and constant criticism in Hollywood may have contributed to Moriarty's decision to alter her appearance.
• A plastic surgeon speculates that Moriarty may have had minor procedures such as a nose tweak and cheek fillers.

Plastic surgery has become both a phenomenon and an enigma in Hollywood. Entertainers left and right seem to partake in the ritual of transforming their appearance via surgical procedures that drastically (sometimes subtly) alter how they look. Recently, a treasured and beloved movie star reportedly joined the club: Erin Moriarty.

Erin Moriarty is best known in the entertainment industry for her various television and movie roles, such as The Boys, Blood Father, The Kings of Summer, and Captain Fantastic.

Recently, a before and after photo of Moriarty picked up traction on X (formerly Twitter) with fans flocking to their feeds to express their disbelief at The Boys star's obvious transformation.

Did Erin Moriarty Have Plastic Surgery?

All while fans flocked to X to air their grief over Erin Moriarty's unexpected face transformation, Moriarty has remained quiet. She hasn't confirmed nor denied the widely held allegations surrounding her plastic surgery. However, fans seem convinced, with or without Moriarty's confirmation.

Why exactly would a beautiful Hollywood star decide to permanently alter her face when fans have already praised her looks? Well, it probably has something to do with the pressure to uphold impossible beauty standards along with being under a microscope of copious criticism 24/7.

According to CNN, Moriarty received negative criticism of her appearance when she played the main character Starlight in the hit Amazon Prime television series The Boys. This article was published in 2022, a few years before the sudden outbreak of her before and after photos on social media.

In an Instagram post regarding the negative backlash to her appearance on Starlight (that seems to have been deleted), Moriarty wrote, according to CNN:

"Everyone's going through their own battle(s); let's not add to that. I will never intentionally (and ESPECIALLY) publicly add to yours. This has only strengthened my empathy muscle and to anyone who comes at me: I see you, I don't hate you, I only empathize and forgive."

This excerpt followed Moriarty's spiel on the similarities she and her character have when it comes to feeling silenced and sexualized.

Erin Moriarty's Fans Have Mixed Reactions To Her Plastic Surgery Rumors

There appears to be an endless thread of X users expressing their opinions on Erin Moriarty's plastic surgery with some simply wishing she had never done it. Photos of Erin Moriarty's transformation depict a previous photo of a full-faced Moriarty with natural-appearing lips alongside a slim-faced Moriarty with fuller lips. Speculations also surround a subtle change in her nose which appears slightly thinner.

One X user wrote, "She was so cute. Insecurities and money: devastating combination #TheBoys."

Another X user expressed concern for Erin Moriarty's mental health: "This is Erin Moriarty also known as starlight from the famous series *The Boys*. I know it's her body her choice!! But I still wanna know wtf was she thinking?? (no judgment just concern about her mental illness)."

This sentiment was echoed in yet another concerned fan's reaction:

"Erin Moriarty, known for her role as Starlight in the series 'The Boys,' decided to have several plastic surgeries — the result is in the photo. She used to be a beauty with a unique charm, but now she's become just another face in the copy-paste fake girls, of which there are hundreds of thousands."

The copy-and-paste era of celebrity culture this X user pointed at is blunt yet accurate. The growing list of celebrities that are undergoing plastic surgery is surreal, even with some celebrities coming forth expressing regret years later, like Nicki Minaj who admitted that she regrets the enhancements she made to her body years prior or like Dolly Parton who also admitted to her plastic surgery regrets.

With Erin Moriarty being only 29 years old, only time will tell whether she will come to regret her plastic surgery decision. One thing is for sure though: fans are already feeling the weight of her unchangeable decision.

A Plastic Surgeon Gave Insight About Changes To Erin Moriarty's Body And Face

A plastic surgeon known as Doctor Youn on YouTube used his expertise to explain his thoughts on Erin Moriarty's rumored plastic surgery. Although Dr. Youn made it clear that he did not operate on Moriarty, he took a deep dive into Moriarty's transformation timeline and came up with the following results: Moriarty "may have had a slight tweak to her nose, maybe a touch of filler under her cheeks," but Dr. Youn doesn't believe that Moriarty underwent any major operations.

This observation is in stark contrast to what fans and onlookers are claiming and assuming Moriarty did to her appearance.

So until Moriarty comes forth herself to confirm or dispute these heavily circulated allegations, fans will stand boldly by their assumptions.
