Erin Moriarty Faces Criticism with Plastic Surgery Speculations

Many viewers of The Boys know Erin Moriarty as Starlight, but a few know she kick-started her acting career at 11. From supporting roles in TV series like Law & Order, Red Widow, True Detective, and Netflix’s Jessica Jones to big-screen productions like Blood Father, Captain Fantastic, Monster Party, and Driven.

Comparing photos of her from 2013 to 2024, there’s a subtle change in the shape of her nose. Recent photos revealed Moriarty with a narrower and straighter nose, meaning she might have had a possible rhinoplasty.

In addition to that, her lips seem a bit plumper, which hints at potential lip augmentation. Some say she also has had buccal fat removal, which means fat pads are removed from the hollows of the cheeks.

Others speculated she had Blepharoplasty and V-line Jaw surgery, too. Check what fans have to say about her transformation.

The discussion about the 29-year-old appearance took a toxic turn, with many calling her “ugly” and “old-looking.” 

The New York native shared screenshots of a Medium article titled #IStandWithStarlight?: The betrayal of Erin Moriarty by The Boys ‘fans’ on her Instagram. With that, the actress also noted (via CNN):

“I do feel silenced. I do feel dehumanized. I do feel paralyzed. I’ve put blood, sweat, and tears into this role (over & over & over again), I’ve grown UP in this character’s shoes (*emphasis on grown up – we change & evolve mentally AND physically).”

She ended the post by saying, “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.”

Though, besides rhinoplasty, it’s hard to say that she has undergone any other procedures. Anyways, whether Moriarty has had surgery or not is a personal choice.
