THE BOYS Creator Lashes Out at Trolls Harassing Star Erin Moriarty "Eat a Bag of D***s ... Don't Watch"
The Internet trolls have been in full force lately. First with the ridiculous hate surrounding The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, now they are out there harassing The Boys star Erin Moriarty with misogynistic messages. The creator of The Boys, Eric Kripke, has some harsh words for the trolls and didn’t hold back when lashing out at them. Kripke tweeted:
“Hi trolls! One, this is literally the opposite of the show’s fucking message. Two, you’re causing pain to real people with real feelings. Be kind. If you can’t be kind, then eat a bag of dicks, fuck off to the sun & don’t watch #TheBoys, we don’t want you. #TheBoysTV”
This response came after Moriarty posted the following on Instagram:
“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).
“This does break my heart – I’ve opened up a vein for this role and the misogynistic trolling is exactly what this role (Annie) would speak out against.”
“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.”
I have no idea what going on but the trolls online these days have been out of control. I honestly don’t get the hate that is being spewed. There is great, beautiful, and awesome entertainment to be enjoyed by fans, and for some reason, there are people out there that just want to burn it down and attack those that are enjoying these things.
People just need to chill out and eat some pizza.
