Latest Shocking Entertainment News: Spencer Pratt Defends Mandy Moore Amid Wildfire GoFundMe Backlash
Spencer Pratt is coming to the defense of fellow Los Angeles wildfire victim Mandy Moore after criticism over a recent GoFundMe plea on behalf of her in-laws.
“Let me tell you about Mandy Moore. Mandy Moore, when I was younger, shout-out Mandy Moore. She booked my hotel for me because she was such a nice friend. Just as a friend, she booked my hotel in New York — I had never been to New York. I feel like she even booked my flight because I was so much fun to be around. Mandy Moore, I will ride for Mandy Moore,” Pratt, 41, said in a TikTok posted on Saturday, January 11. “ If I see one more TikTok about Mandy Moore and GoFundMes, I’m going to start coming after you guys. You want beef with your worst nightmare, which is me right now? You post about Mandy Moore. I will ride for Mandy Moore.”
Moore, 40, whose Altadena neighborhood suffered tremendous loss in the wildfires ravaging Southern California, received backlash from social media followers after she shared a GoFundMe campaign in support of her brother-in-law’s family.
“Yesterday, my brother-in-law and sister-in-law Griff and Kit [Goldsmith] lost their home and everything they own in the Eaton Fire,” the This Is Us alum wrote via Instagram on Thursday, January 9. “With their first baby on the way in a matter of weeks, they need our support now more than ever.”

Some users had apparently taken issue with a celebrity asking for money, to which Moore said, “And 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. Of course we are. Our buddy Matt [Koma] started this go fund me [sic] 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.”
Pratt stood by Moore in his video post, reasserting she’s “the nicest frickin’ lady ever.”
“Mandy Moore doesn’t do anything wrong,” he said, noting he’s known her for two decades. “If you were nice in 2004, you’re still nice in 2025. Like I’m talking so nice. So, don’t you dare come for Mandy Moore.”
He continued, “Maybe delete your content about Mandy Moore because Mandy Moore is a real one.She’s a great human. She’s not doing anything out of pocket — she’s posting GoFundMes, that’s great. She doesn’t have to pay for whoever. She’s got her own life, probably her own kids, so don’t you come for Mandy Moore.”
Moore, who shares three kids with her husband, Dawes frontman Taylor Goldsmith, lost part of her home in the wildfires. “We were able to park and walk up our street to bear witness to all the loss. Miraculously, the main part of our house is still standing. For now,” Moore wrote on Instagram on Thursday.
She added, “It’s not livable but mostly intact. We lost Taylor and Griffin’s studio with every instrument and piece of equipment they’ve ever owned. We lost our garage and back house. Everyone we know lost everything. Every house on our street is gone. My in-laws. My brother and sister-in-law- 6 weeks from welcoming their first baby. Our best friends. Feeling weird survivor’s guilt. We love this community and will do everything we can to help rebuild and support. Thanks for everyone for checking on us and offering us help. Altadena strong.”
Pratt and his wife, Heidi Montag, also lost their Pacific Palisades home in the blaze, which first broke out on Tuesday, January 7. The Hills alums said by the time their house burned down, they had already evacuated with their two children, sons Gunner, 6, and Ryker, 13 months.
In a video shared by Montag, 38, via TikTok on Thursday, the couple revealed the few items that remained of their house after the fire, which were all contained in a single plastic bag.
“The Hummingbird pot — with some nectar cooked into it,” Pratt said in the video, along with “one [rubber] snake from the backyard, one crystal from the backyard, [another] crystal from the backyard, Ryker’s shovel from the backyard and broken pieces.” (Pratt owns a Pratt Daddy Crystals business.)
Which Stars Have Been Affected by the Los Angeles Fires?
Other celebrities, including Miles Teller, Ricki Lake, Bryan Greenberg and Jamie Chung, lost homes in the natural disaster, as well.
“Was supposed to be our forever home, but nothing lasts forever,” Greenberg, 46, shared on Instagram. “Thankfully our family is safe, however, other LA fire victims aren’t as fortunate. Please donate to them if you can.”
