Spencer Pratt is fiercely backing his pal of decades Mandy Moore amid the GoFundMe backlash.
Moore had posted a GoFundMe page on behalf of her in-laws who lost all of their belongings in the L.A. fires. Netizens then criticized the actress after assuming that she isn’t helping her in-laws despite being a famous actress.
Pratt took to TikTok and told the critics: “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.”
“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,” he added.
The 47 Meters Down actress also responded to the backlash herself.
“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,” she fired in an Instagram post.
Spencer Pratt went on to reveal that Mandy Moore paid for his stay in New York City hotel in 2004.
He added, “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.”
