Hi, I’m back again. It’s been a while. Don’t want to talk about that right now…
But anyway, about a week and a half ago, I did not know who Erin Moriarty was, because I don’t watch the show, nor have I seemingly seen her in anything else, so…
I only learned about her from a Reddit discussion about other “botched”/“bimbofied” young celebrities… And then I went down the inevitable rabbit hole (yes, I saw the previous discussion here, too)…
Anyway, the whole thing made me rather… Sad, or at least unsettled, to think that someone so obviously attractive completely ruined her face and body like this, and has probably ruined her career, now…
But also the wider discussion around it. The whole “denial” thing, and the “don’t ask, don’t tell” (lol) approach that Reddit mods have been taking (and also The Boys production staff)…
I watched the Megyn Kelly discussion segment. I don’t think she said anything particularly wrong, or cruel (although she got the date of one photo wrong - big whoop! Lauren is lying about that one, too), and nor did her guest…
And now we have this, as the result (I can’t link on mobile, but the rant is almost the only thing left on her Instagram).. And all online discussion about it is being sanitized…
Honestly, at this point, having ruined her career and her looks, and how obviously mentally and physically (I believe she has an ED, at least) unwell she obviously is, I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if she either sinks into obscurity, or worse, because surely the show cannot continue to filter Starlight’s appearance more and more forever, while ignoring what is really going on…
Poor girl. Poor, poor girl. And what a fucking society we now live in, where this, and Anya Taylor-Joy, and Bella Hadid, and so many other naïve young women do this to themselves, and then keep making it worse and worse…
And then they blame it all on “online trolls” or “misogyny”.
Eugh. /Endrant
I hope I don’t find out that she died, in a few years time. Genuinely.
Fuck Hollywood, and fuck “LA”.
Edit (actually important): One thing I noticed immediately when this came up last week, but forgot to mention here, is that you rarely, if ever, see her smile anymore. Not on her own Instagram, not in promo shoots and at events, and not even in her role as Starlight…
Posing? Sure. Pouting. Yes. Blowing kisses at the camera and contorting herself to show off her new enhanced figure, and how skinny she is now? Very much so. But never smiling. Never looking natural. Never looking like she did, in any of those same sorts of environments, pre-Covid…
Like I said, that very clearly differs to even 2019 (when the photo Megyn Kelly was talking about was apparently taken), before all this cosmetic surgery shit. It may be that she physically can no longer smile normally, but I think it also shows just how… Not in a good place she must be.
And her eyes. As someone else pointed out here last week, her eyes look cold, now. She looks, sad, and kind of “mean”.
I think that’s why this one really got to me. It genuinely looks like they stole her soul or something…
Notably, this happened to Jennifer Gray, 30 years ago, and she rarely ever starred in anything again. And, one I care more about - Jewel Kilcher, who must be one of the more… Ironic music sellouts out there. :-(
Something is rotten in the state of pop culture…
Glad your back and yeah welcome to the Hollywood scene. The only ones that suffer as much with plastic surgery is South Korea but they're ones don't look as.....unnatural as some of the Hollywood results..
And she was a looker before time, I think I saw a Sidescroller clip on YouTube talking about it and JESUS CHRIST some of the awful other examples, how are these surgeons still getting work?!?
Korean and Thai cosmetic surgeons are like gods compared to surgeons in other countries, probably because they have so much experience.
The problem with SK though is they make all the girls look the same, and I don't like that look at all. You could say the extreme social pressure to get surgery in SK is a problem too.
Buccal fat removal (the thing which seems to have most aged Miss Moriarty’s appearance) doesn’t seem to be quite as widespread there, either… Or those hideous lip fillers…
How those two things became a trend is beyond me…
Sweden is awful for girls having the fillers done. And they look like shit, inevitably, too, lol.
Jutland I didn’t see that so much. Which is something, I guess…
Kim Kardashian ,I think, is where this all started. She seems to be the prototype of the instagram look, as I call it. Heavy mascara, big lips, fake lashes, heavy make up, the works.
Yeah it's two sides of the devil's coin, on the Asia side they all look good but the same like they came from a cloning machine
On the other side of the coin.....that machine is fucking broken and I swear I hear the result saying 'kill me, it hurts'
I'm trying to get it in every women's head, you work out a little every week, whether a jog, cycle or gym, you'll EASILY be attractive to men with none of this risk.
Korean surgeons have their failures too, as good as they are. A friend in SK showed me a girls night out that looked like some kind of bimbo festival.
They do look unnatural, just in a different way. Or maybe you just haven't seen enough examples.
their focus is double eyelid, jaw reconstruction and nose stuff. less on lip filler / buccal fat removal.
Talk about it!
Anyway yeah she'll have an interview whining about sexists and right-wing trolls at some point. Who the hell even cares about Megyn Kelly these days? I almost forgot she existed.
Oh, it’s just that I have been, and am, in “survival mode”, so I haven’t really had much time for anything much “superfluous”…
I’m currently “living”/travelling in incredibly expensive Northern Europe, surviving off savings, because I cannot work on my visa, and I also quit the program I was doing (so I have another 5 weeks until I have to leave Schengen, although I doubt I can afford to stay that long anyway)…
I also don’t have long-term accommodation anymore, because that was conditional on my staying in “the program” that I was part of. Thus, I’m essentially living day to day. It’s incredibly stressful, and exhausting, and, combined with all the social problems you already know about in this part of the world (I’ve met a lot of fucking arseholes. Especially in Denmark, unfortunately, it’s…
It’s just been a very stressful time. 😑
I don’t miss Australia, but I also literally can’t continue like this, so…
I just spend a lot of time muddling through it, unfortunately…
Look at this chump getting a visa instead of crossing the Mediterranean on an NGO boat like any other economic migrant to get free accommodations and women and gibs.
Brings up Dulux colour chart and places against bamboozler1's head
Nah not dark enough for gibs, maybe say Allah akbar enough and maybe you'll get a flat (this ain't even satire even if I'm being snarky)
Erin Moriarty looks like a wide-faced skeleton now. Why, girl?
Total aside, I didn't look at who posted this but then I saw italics and ellipses everywhere and I immediately knew.
Welcome back my friend
Welcome back, welcome back. Hope you're doing well.
And, yeah, the "beauty" trends are insane, destructive, and sad. It's bizarre, what girls and women are doing to themselves. Boy and men, too, just in different ways. One consolation, although not for many of the people currently uglifying themselves, is these trends aren't sustainable. And it is a trend. Just like many other trends, it will die out when people wake up and realize how dumb it is.
But it's still currently absurd. I don't get how people can do that to themselves; it doesn't look good online, and looks significantly worse in real life.
So
1- megyn was slightly wrong about her plastic surgery.
2- Erin cannot accept that she fucked up her face
3- She’s trying to blame Megyn’s mis/dis/malinformation/Russian propaganda as the source of her suffering
FWIW, totally irrelevant to the Moriarty thing, but there’s currently a “Keep Cash” singing protest in the middle of Copenhagen, where people are trying to make a point about preventing Denmark from becoming even more “cashless” than it already is, so that’s… Good I guess? Restores my faith in humanity just a tiny little bit. At least temporarily, anyway…
Given the number of post wall "news readers" that are going for plastic surgery it's going to get spicy for Megyn Kelly.
I saw an interview featuring one of her former coworkers (Laura Ingraham) and the poor woman has had her face so messed up she can't even close her mouth anymore.
And Megyn has obviously had her nose, chin and eyes done.
Glass houses.
This was a strange way to announce you're still alive.
Eh, I just don’t really want to talk about me, or my situation, at the moment (it unironically got worse after I posted this, lol), so this was a “good” distraction… 🤷🏻♂️
In the scheme of things, I would rather discuss “pop culture” or whatever we consider Moriarty’s face to be, than just how shit Scandinavia has been to me, lol…
As others have said, welcome back.
I am acquainted with someone who I believe has had similar surgeries, though I do not know her well enough to ask. It is a real shame as she was also fairly attractive and aging gracefully, but divorce + girl boss = need for new face apparently.
wb!
All Erin has to do is pretend that she's a man and this will all go away Bamber.
She does, unironically, look increasingly like a drag queen, in those recent photos…
I would say she has been trending that way for at least a year.
Same with Lauren Sanchez (yuck!), and indeed Anya Taylor-Joy…
So while I do believe that all of them are biologically female, you may be onto something here…
Someone did comment that Erin’s new face does look like what Ellen Page might look like if she/he/it “detransitioned” back to female, at this point, lol…
It’s saaaadddd…
She doesn't pass for a woman as much as a trans-woman now.
It always pains me when an actual attractive woman ruins her looks like that. When I say attractive I mean actually and not fake. Turning into a fake Madonna esque zombie is not what women should do, ever. She isn't even particularly old to worry about aging. I 100% believe they'll have to either recast or kill her off in the boys, when I saw what she did to her it's like a different person.
Someone commented that the only future acting roles she can likely look forward to would be in porn, which I thought was utterly brutal, but… Yeah.
Perhaps a better example would be to go the Tara Reid (also gorgeous, before she fucked herself up) route, i.e. advertising in foreign countries, B movies, “celebrity” reality tv, and the convention circuit (Erin already does the latter. I could have met her at one in Stockholm in November, but I didn’t know then)…
Apparently Tara Reid is so obscure now, that often her line at those cons is virtually empty, which is frankly just… Sad, given how big she was a couple of decades ago…
Honestly, it’s not that much more dignified than the porn alternative, at this point… :-/
Yeesh.
On this note, I was once at Supanova, and saw the line for Millie Bobby Brown before she became… What she is now. But I wasn’t that big of a Stranger Things fan, and she was like… 14? So I didn’t bother paying for the autograph/meet and greet, even though the line wasn’t very big (probably because other people had similar thoughts to me, about it, lol)…
Kind of regret that now, seeing as she’s become the bizarre (also entirely fake and manufactured) “icon of pop culture”/“it kid” that she is now…
Poor kid, honestly.
That’s another one I see imploding, a few years down the line, when her star fades… Her and Maddie Ziegler…
It's just good to see you. I asked about you yesterday, and you appeared.
Ask about Madeleine McCann next.
Who is that?
Every British person: oof!
Basically if I remember right, she's a kid that went missing when her family went on a holiday to I think it was Spain nearly two decades ago. Seems like it was kidnapping for child trafficking, was a big deal as couldn't find any trace or her alive or dead and just showed gross incompetence of the police and is still talked about in Britain because child missing with no resolution.
Megyn Kelly doesn't have a lot of room to talk about some other woman going under the knife, as she still looks like she is 30, but she is 10 months older than I am, and I am 52. Her face is so distracting I can't even watch her anymore.
Either she is the most genetically gifted women on the face of the planet, or she has some combination of surgery, heavy make up, or instagram filters going on.
It's not that any and all surgery is bad, it's that particular types, repeated attempts, and addiction to it are.
You can make some 50 year old, with the right set up and surgeon, look 45 or something. 40 if they're lucky. Or take down a large honker of a nose or fix a chin issue, all possible.
But this is a very pretty 20 something who now looks like the third Bogdanoff. Whatever Megan is doing is working, she looks younger than the 53 that she is. Whatever Erin did though makes her look like taylor lorenz's older sister when shes only 29
People keep talking about how the plastic surgery that turned her from a beauty to a witch must have been a mistake. I disagree. Her physical form now resembles her soul.
LOL she fucked up her face so bad.
Erin is in a real dilemma here. She flamed out and got her sympathy points, but she has to come back eventually, and she'll have the SAME FREAKING FACE. It's a living nightmare.
Did she even interact with fans? Or is she making a big deal of her not posting Instagram stories anymore?
Random related movie recommendation: The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (French, 1960s).
It’s partly about a gold-digger who sort of “marries up”, after something dramatic happens to her true love, changes her entire appearance and life, and, well, the consequences of that…
It is not a happy ending type of film…
But it is also Catherine Deneuve’s first film, who subsequently, very ironically, also fucked up her face and body in an attempt to “stay youthful”, in what has to be one of the more surreal moments of “life imitating art…
But man, she was gorgeous in that one. Which is a bit sad…
Oh, and it’s probably one of the best French films ever made. Forgot to say that bit!
