Spencer Pratt comes to the defense of another victim of the fire in Los Angeles Mandy Moore following criticism over a recent GoFundMe plea on behalf of her in-laws.
“Let me tell you something about Mandy Moore. Mandy Moore, when I was younger, she yelled Mandy Moore. She booked the hotel for me because she was such a good 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’m going to drive for Mandy Moore,” Pratt, 41, said TikTok published on Saturday, January 11. “If I see another TikTok about Mandy Moore and GoFundMes, I’m going after you. You want a beef with your worst nightmare, which is me right now? You posted about Mandy Moore. I will ride for Mandy Moore.”

Some users apparently took issue with the celebrity asking for money, to which Moore said, “And people asking if we’re helping our own family or crediting an arbitrary amount of money Google says someone has is NOT helpful or compassionate. Of course we did. Our friend Matt (Koma) started this go fund me (sic) and I’m sharing because people have been asking how I can help them. We also lost most of our lives in the fire. Kindly F OFF. No one is forcing you to do anything.”
Pratt stood by Moore in his video post, again claiming she’s “the nicest fucking lady ever.”
“Mandy Moore is not doing anything wrong,” he said, noting that he has known her for two decades. “If you were nice in 2004, you’re still nice in 2025. It’s like I’m talking so nice. So don’t you dare come for Mandy Moore.”
He continued: “Maybe delete your Mandy Moore content because Mandy Moore is a real person. She is a great person. He’s not doing anything out of pocket — he’s posting GoFundMes, that’s great. She doesn’t have to pay for anyone. She has her own life, probably her own children, so don’t come for Mandy Moore.”
Moore, who shares three children with her husband, frontman Dawes Taylor Goldsmithlost part of her house in forest fires. “We were able to park and walk down our street to witness all the losses. Miraculously, the main part of our house is still standing. For now,” Moore wrote further Instagram on Thursday.
She added: “It’s not livable, but it’s mostly intact. We’ve lost Taylor and Griffin’s studio with all the instruments and equipment they ever owned. We’ve lost the garage and the back house. Everyone we know has lost everything. Every house on our street is Gone. My brother and sister-in-law. Our best friends. We love this community and will do everything we can to help support. Thank you all for checking us out and offering us help.”
