Fame and celebrity

  • In Netflix’s brand new documentary, The Most Hated Man on the Internet, Hughes opens up about her former relationship with the founder of controversial site Is Anyone Up?
  • She dated Hughes until his arrest in 2014, she now lives with her new BF, the musician Dräger, in Brooklyn, New York, and even featured in his music video for New Life

Being romantically linked to the protagonist of Netflix’s The Most Hated Man on the Internet isn’t ideal, to say the least. For Kirra Hughes, it’s perhaps even worse, as she’s the ex-girlfriend of the now-convicted criminal, Hunter Moore. The documentary is the latest in a slew of releases on the streaming giant centred around crime and scams.

Despite dating Moore for an estimated four years, Hughes was willing to be part of the newly released documentary to share her side of the story. The two were dating when Moore launched his exploitative “revenge porn” website, Is Anyone Up?, which would invite users to submit naked photos or videos of people anonymously, usually without permission. It was even known for releasing the names and addresses of the victims, per Marie Claire. It was founded in 2010 before it ceased operations two years later. Hughes, however, refutes any involvement and says she didn’t really understand what it was.

Coming from a small beach town in California, Hughes moved to San Francisco when she was 18 to study fashion design, according to the Netflix documentary. It was during this time that one of Hughes’ friends took her to a party that Moore threw. According to The Cinemaholic, Moore approached Hughes just as she was about to leave and they had an immediate spark of attraction. Moore asked her out the next day and the two began dating.

What Hughes didn’t know was that this romance would soon lead to a nightmare of crimes. Not quite the knight in shining armour, her boyfriend turned out to be a criminal in disguise who preyed on the utmost privacy of innocent people.
