Zack Sharf “The Boys” creator Eric Kripke slammed the show’s toxic fans after cast member Erin Moriarty’s came forward and revealed she has been the subject of misogynistic harassment online.

Moriarty has been a series regular on “The Boys” for three seasons and plays the superhero Starlight. The actor wrote on Instagram that backlash to her character from toxic fans have left her feeling “silenced” and “dehumanized.” “Hi trolls!” Kripke wrote on his own Twitter page in reaction to Moriarty’s statement. “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 ‘The Boys,’ we don’t want you.” Moriarty’s original post calling out the backlash included the following message: “I do feel paralyzed.

I’ve put blood, sweat and tears into this role…this does break my heart — I’ve opened up a vein for this role and the misogynistic trolling is exactly what this role would speak out against.” The actor concluded the post by writing, “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.” Kripke is one of several members of “The Boys” family who have stood up for Moriarty following her post.
