Mandy Moore responds to critics after sharing in-law GoFundMe on Instagram page (AP Photo/Chris Pizzello)Chris Pizzello/Invision/APMandy Moore is hitting back against criticism she received after sharing GoFundMe links on her Instagram page.The actress/singer’s family was affected by the ongoing California fires and had to evacuate from their home in Altadena along with many other residents. After returning, Moore noted the “main part” of her family home was still standing, but ultimately it was “not livable, but mostly intact.” Unfortunately, every house on her street is “gone.”A post shared by Mandy Moore (@mandymooremm)Afterward, Moore shared a few GoFundMe pages on her Instagram account, including her in-laws, who she mentioned were just weeks away from welcoming their first child. This drew ire from followers claiming the actress should donate her own money instead of asking “regular people.” Moore gave the following response in the now-deleted Instagram post:“People questioning whether we’re helping out our own family or attributing some arbitrary amount of money Google says someone has is NOT helpful or empathetic,” Moore wrote. “Of course we are. Our buddy Matt started this GoFundMe and I’m sharing because people have asked how they can help them. We just lost most of our life in a fire too. Kindly F OFF. No one is forcing you to do anything.The Eaton fire is 3% contained and has burned over 13,690 acres.Related coverage:Our journalism needs your support.
