The destruction because of the multiple fires in the Los Angeles area is almost too devastating to comprehend.
Among the displaced and homeless are some of Hollywood’s most well-known elite.
They includeMandy Moore, whose response to the fires is getting surprisingly huge backlash.
On January 8, Moore andher husband, Taylor Goldsmith, received orders to evacuate their home in Altadena.
My children’s school is gone.
Our favorite restaurants, leveled.
So many friends and loved ones have lost everything too."
Among those loved ones were Taylor’s brother and sister-in-law, Griffin and Kit Goldsmith.
The couple’s home and possessions were completely destroyed, including all of percussionist Griffin’s instruments.
On top of it all, the Goldsmiths are expecting their first child shortly.
“hey consider donating and sharing to help them rebuild,” Moore wrote.
Her request was met with sneers from followers who felt little sympathy for celebs.
Another criticshrugged, “We feel less sorry for the more fortunate.
That’s the cold hard truth.”
The outcry prompted the actor to issue a NSFW retort.
Moore had no patience for the haters and said so herself in an addendum to herInstagrampost.
Of course we are," she wrote.
“We just lost most of our life in a fire too.
no one is forcing you to do anything.”
Don’t solicit the public’s help and then get angry when they ask questions."
(It’s not yet known whetherMoore’s childhood photoswere spared.)
People should be more compassionate and less judgmental," said a fan on X, formerly known asTwitter.
“Sending love and support to your family during this tough time.”
