Actress Mandy Moore sparked controversy after asking fans to donate to a GoFundMe for her in-laws who lost their home in the Pacific Palisades wildfire. While Moore shared that her own family also lost their home, many criticized her for not personally contributing more given her reported wealth.
The actress faced tons of backlash, with users claiming she was in a better position to help than anyone.
Moore claimed they had lost their home as well as “everything they owned.” She also mentioned that Griff’s “entire arsenal of drums/percussion” had been destroyed — a loss made worse by the fact that he was a touring musician.“It’s all too much,” she wrote. “So many have reached out and asked how they could help during this time of unimaginable loss, grief and stress… Please consider donating and sharing to help them rebuild.
“Not to mention the fact that it appears as though you personally didn’t donate any of your own money to the fundraiser. It’s horrible to expect others to financially help your family if you’re not willing to even give them any money yourself.” Eventually, all the noise managed to capture the actress’s attention as she gave an update shortly after the initial post, editing the original caption.Her callout was addressed to anyone who questioned whether she was helping her own family or “attributing” a certain amount of money to her name.
first erupted on Tuesday morning near the Pacific Palisades, initially beginning as a brush fire before rapidly spiraling out of control due to the high winds in the region.
