Mandy Moore Says ‘F OFF’ After Backlash For Sharing Family's LA Fires GoFundMe
As Los Angeles grapples with devastating wildfires, actress Mandy Moore finds herself at the center of a heated debate. The "This Is Us" star recently shared a GoFundMe campaign aimed at supporting her in-laws, who lost their home to the relentless blazes. However, this well-intentioned gesture has sparked unexpected criticism from the public.
A Family's Plea for Help: The GoFundMe Initiative
In the wake of the Eaton Fire, which has ravaged numerous communities, Moore's brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Griff and Kit, faced the heartbreaking loss of their home.
Adding to their challenges, the couple is expecting their first child, intensifying the urgency for support. In response, Moore shared a GoFundMe campaign on her Instagram, encouraging her followers to assist in their rebuilding efforts.
Public Outcry: Wealth and Responsibility
Despite the genuine need, Moore's promotion of the fundraiser was met with skepticism.
Critics questioned why a celebrity with substantial financial means would seek public donations for family members, suggesting that Moore should personally cover the expenses. One online commenter remarked, "With her net worth, why is she asking us for money?"

Addressing the backlash, Moore amended her original post to clarify the situation. She emphasized that the GoFundMe was initiated by a family friend and that she and her husband, Taylor Goldsmith, were already providing significant support.
Frustrated by the criticism, Moore candidly stated, "We just lost most of our life in a fire too. Kindly F OFF. No one is forcing you to do anything."
