Mandy Moore, the actor known for her role in ‘This Is Us,’ expressed her anger at a hit-and-run driver who struck her and her family. In a since-deleted Instagram story, Moore shared her frustrations, hoping that the driver would face karmic consequences. The incident, which involved the rear-ending of her family, occurred after the driver fled the scene. Moore confirmed that no one was harmed, but the event has sparked questions about the driver’s motives and the aftermath of such an incident.
Moore’s family, which includes her husband, Taylor Goldsmith, and their children, has been dealing with various challenges in recent months. The recent hit-and-run incident comes after the actress and her family have been navigating the aftermath of the devastating LA fires that occurred in January. Moore’s home in Altadena was partially destroyed by the Eaton Fire, while her brother-in-law and sister-in-law lost their homes entirely. Moore also shared her frustrations with Amazon for sending a package to a home that was destroyed in the fire, highlighting the difficulties faced by affected families.
The actress has been vocal about the bureaucratic red tape encountered by fire victims seeking to rebuild their lives. In May, Moore criticized Los Angeles County for its “meaningless protocol” that has made the rebuilding process extremely difficult. She described the situation as “maddening and heartless,” noting how many people are leaving California due to these challenges. Moore also expressed her frustration with Amazon for not being more discerning in delivery practices, particularly in the wake of wildfires.
Despite the various difficulties, Moore has remained resilient, using her platform to advocate for those affected by the fires. She highlighted the emotional and financial strain of the situation, especially for her family members who are expecting a child and are trying to rebuild their lives. Moore’s recent condemnation of a hit-and-run driver adds to her ongoing efforts to voice concerns about both personal and communal issues that affect her life and the lives of others.
