Hunter Moore’s ex-girlfriend Kirra Hughes says in the Netflix documentary “Most Hated Man On The Internet” that she regrets not being able to stop him from starting the revenge porn website IsAnyoneUp.

Moore started his website in 2010 when he moved from Sydney to his parents’ home in California. He is known as the “king of revenge porn” and a “professional life-ruiner.”

Moore wanted to have the same kind of fun at night as he did in Sydney. To do this, he started the website isanyoneup.com and posted pictures of “a b***h who broke his friend’s heart” at first. The friend started posting pictures back on the website, and soon many people were hooked on it and posting pictures and videos of their ex-partners along with information about them. Moore made a lot of money through ads on the site.

What is her name?

In 2010, when she started dating Moore, Kirra Hughes was a young fashion student. She later said that she knew about the website when it was just starting out, but she didn’t know what it meant to “real people.”

Hughes says in “The Most Hated Man on the Internet,” a Netflix documentary that has become a huge hit, “I’m sad and embarrassed about what I did, and I wish I had known better at the time. One of the things I regret most is that I didn’t speak up when I could have.”

Hughes is now a model and scenic prop director in Brooklyn, New York. The first episode of the docuseries was shown on Netflix on July 27, 2022. Moore himself doesn’t show up in the movie except in old clips.

What did Hunter Moore get in trouble for?

Moore became known to the public in 2012 when he said that he owned the website. In the meantime, there were no laws in place that dealt with the gray area of revenge porn. The Communications Decency Act of 1996 says that website owners can’t be sued for what their users post. This is the same law that keeps Twitter and Facebook from being sued for defamation.

But the trend got even scarier when some women said they had never sent the nudes that were posted on the website to anyone. This meant that some of these photos were taken by hackers or, even worse, were changed.

In 2012, Moore gave the website to the police. Around the same time, he sold it to a company that works to stop bullying. In 2015, he pleaded guilty and was sentenced to two-and-a-half years in prison and a $2,000 fine. Moore was let out of jail in May 2017 after he went through a program to help him change his life.

Why did Hunter Moore decide to start IsAnyoneUp?

In 2018, the person who was called a “professional life-ruiner” published a book called “Is Anyone Up? A Story of Revenge Porn,” where he joked that he “felt like Harry Potter” and showed scars from when a dad and his daughter came to his house and stabbed him with a ballpoint pen because he wouldn’t take her pictures off the website. He said that it was a “close call with death.”

Photos on the website were easy to find on Google, so employers or family members could use image search to look for pictures of the people involved and find them. This made the whole mess even worse.

In an interview with Rolling Stones in 2012, Moore said that ruining people’s lives with naked pictures wasn’t the best job, but that he “gets off on making money.”
