Chloë Grace Moretz Slams The ‘Family Guy’ Meme On Her
Moretz has always been vocal about issues like social media bullying and body shaming. The ‘Let Me In’ actress has opened up about the time when a ‘Family Guy‘ meme mocked her body.
In a recent interview with Hunger magazine, Moretz talked about the viral meme that was created after a photographer took a picture of her walking into a hotel carrying a pizza box.
“Then came the onslaught of horrific memes that started getting sent to me about my body,” she said. “I’ve actually never really talked about this, but there was one meme that really affected me, of me walking into a hotel with a pizza box in my hand.”
She continued: “And this photo got manipulated into a character from ‘Family Guy’ with the long legs and the short torso, and it was one of the most widespread memes at the time.”
Moretz Became A “Recluse” After That Meme Went Viral
The actress opened up about how the meme affected her. “Everyone was making fun of my body, and I brought it up with someone and they were like, ‘Oh, shut the fuck up, it’s funny,’” she said.
Further adding, “And I just remember sitting there and thinking, my body is being used as a joke and it’s something that I can’t change about who I am, and it is being posted all over Instagram. It was something so benign as walking into a hotel with leftovers. And to this day, when I see that meme, it’s something very hard for me to overcome.”
Moretz explained that she was “kind of sad” after the meme went viral because “it took a layer of something that I used to enjoy, which was getting dressed up and going to a carpet and taking a photo, and made me super self-conscious.”
She said that she “became a recluse” after that and “would hyperventilate” whenever she was snapped.
