Spencer Pratt Defends Mandy Moore Amid Wildfire GoFundMe Backlash
Spencer Pratt will protect a victim of the wildfires in Los Angeles Mandy Moore after being criticized for a recent GoFundMe appeal on behalf of his in-laws.
“Let me tell you about Mandy Moore. Mandy Moore, when I was little, screamed Mandy Moore. He booked me a hotel because he was a very good friend. Just as a friend, he booked my hotel in New York – I had never been to New York. I feel like you booked my flight because it was so nice to be there. Mandy Moore, I’m going to ride Mandy Moore,” said Pratt, 41, in a TikTok posted on Saturday, January 11. “If I see another TikTok about Mandy Moore and GoFundMes, I’m going to start following you guys. Looking for beef with your worst nightmare, which is me right now? She writes about Mandy Moore. I’m going to ride Mandy Moore.”
Moore, 40, whose Altadena estate suffered heavy losses in the wildfires that ravaged Southern California, drew criticism from social media fans after he joined a GoFundMe campaign to support his brother’s family.
“Yesterday, my brother-in-law and sister-in-law Griff and Kit [Goldsmith] lost their home and everything in the Eaton Fire,” the This Is Us alum wrote on Instagram on Thursday, January 9. “With their first child on the way in a few weeks, they need our support now more than ever. “
Some users have apparently objected to the celebrity asking for money, Moore said to him, “And people ask if we’re helping our family or if we’re showing a certain amount of money that Google says someone is NOT helping or NOT having sympathy for. Yes we are. Our friend Matt [Koma] you started this, go support me [sic] and I share because people have asked how they can help them. We just lost a large part of our lives in a fire again. Please F OFF. No one is forcing you to do anything.”
Pratt stood by Moore in her video post, affirming that she is “the most beautiful lady ever.”
“Mandy Moore is not doing anything wrong,” he said, noting that he has known her for twenty years. “If you were good in 2004, you will be good in 2025. As if I’m talking sweetly. So, don’t ever look for Mandy Moore.”
He continued, “Maybe remove your content about Mandy Moore because Mandy Moore is a real person. He doesn’t do anything out of pocket – he sends GoFundMes, that’s cool. He doesn’t have to pay anyone. She has her own life, maybe her own kids, so don’t follow Mandy Moore.”
Moore, who shares three children with her husband, Dawes frontman Taylor Goldsmithhe lost part of his house in a wildfire. “We were able to park and walk up our driveway to witness all the loss. Miraculously, the main part of our house is still standing. For now,” Moore wrote on Instagram Thursday.
He added, “It’s not healthy, but mostly it’s perfect.” We lost Taylor and Griffin’s studio with all the instruments and instruments they ever had. We lost the garage and the back house. Everyone we know has lost everything. All the houses on our street are gone. My in-laws. My brother and sister-in-law- 6 weeks from welcoming their first child. Our best friends. A strange sense of survivor’s guilt. We love this community and will do everything we can to help rebuild and support. Thank you to everyone for looking out for us and helping us. Altadena is strong. “
