Actress
Chloë Grace Moretz isn’t someone we think of as being hotheaded, so it
was surprising last week to find her at the center of a Twitter feud
with none other than Kim Kardashian. Moretz, 19, explained the reason behind her jumping into the fray in a new interview with Elle.
“All
I’ll say is that I think a lot of things can be misconstrued in a lot
of ways,” she told the magazine. “And I think if people open their minds
more, and they try to look deeper into something than just something
that is a very big, hot, fiery button to hide behind… I think if people
looked into something bigger that I was trying to speak upon, they
wouldn’t be so easy to fire back silly, miscellaneous things."
For
readers who missed the drama, Moretz’s response comes after she and
Kardashian exchanged words via social media about one of Kardashian’s
naked selfies. To be fair, it included black bars over key areas, but it
left very little to the imagination.

Moretz — who’s long identified as a feminist — publicly announced her disapproval.

@KimKardashian I truly hope you realize how important setting goals are for young women, teaching them we have so much more to offer than-
After
backlash from many of the reality star’s supporters, Moretz explained
further: "There’s a huge difference in respecting the platform that
you’re given as a celebrity and ‘slut shaming’ something I never have
done and — would never do.
Still,
Kardashian, who’s obviously learned a thing or two from husband Kanye
West about social media feuds, fired back at several celebrities who
disliked the nude selfie. Moretz did not get a pass.
let's all welcome @ChloeGMoretz to twitter, since no one knows who she is. your nylon cover is cute boo
The Nylon reference was to a December 2015 magazine cover that depicts the Kick-Ass star flashing considerable skin
underneath a coat. In the new interview, Moretz addressed the fact that
she sometimes does racy photo shoots, which she finds OK, even though
she avoids acting roles for "overtly sexualized” characters.
“I
mean, I think that’s also a lot more based on artwork, so that’s a
little bit of a different conversation. Like, if I’m talking to a
photographer, I’m talking to a stylist, I’m talking to a makeup artist,
we’re kind of creating and collaborating and making something that is
artwork and is special and is different,” she said. “Yeah, it’s
representing myself, but it’s also not representing myself, because it’s
a character piece. So, I think that is a big difference.
On social
media, like on Instagram and stuff that I post, and the way that I view
myself, and portray myself on there, that’s definitely a much more
personalized take. I’m not collaborating with people to make that, it’s
my own social media platform in which I’m — it’s not a character, it’s
just me."
Moretz also offered some advice for girls dealing with the challenges of social media.
"Depict
yourself adequately as what you want to be seen as. Don’t front, don’t
put something out there that you feel isn’t realistic and doesn’t
portray who you are,” she said. “Just be yourself, be you, and don’t be
afraid to speak your mind."
Moretz is obviously not.
