Mandy Moore tells hit-and-run driver 'hope your karma finds you' after family rear-end crash

Fox News2 days ago
Mandy Moore blasted a driver who fled the scene after hitting the actress and her family.
On Friday, Moore, 41, who shares sons Gus, 4, and Ozzie, 2, and daughter Louise, 10 months, with her husband Taylor Goldsmith, 39, vented her fury over the alleged incident in a since-expired post she shared on her Instagram story, according to Page Six.
"The woman who rear ended my family and then drove off we pulled over, hope your karma finds you," the "This Is Us" alum wrote.
"Thankfully everyone was ok but what kind of human does that?" Moore added.
Fox News Digital has reached out to Moore's representative for comment.
Moore and her family have been navigating a challenging time after their home was among those ravaged by the deadly L.A. fires last January. The "Only Hope" singer and Goldsmith's house in Altadena was partially destroyed by the Eaton Fire.
Moore's brother-in-law Griffin Goldsmith and sister-in-law Kit Goldsmith, who lived nearby, lost their home completely in the fire. The house belonging to the actress's mother-in-law and father-in-law was also destroyed.
Shortly after the fires, Moore hit back at haters who criticized her for sharing a GoFundMe campaign to help Griffin and Kit.
In a post on her Instagram page, Moore shared that Griff and Kit were expecting their first baby soon and "they need our support now more than ever."
"Griff is a touring musician and also lost his entire arsenal of drums/percussion he uses to make a living. It's all so much. So many have asked how to help during this unimaginable and stressful time…Please consider donating and sharing to help them rebuild," Moore wrote.
Moore later edited her caption to address people who are concerned about whether she plans on financially helping her family.
"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," she wrote.
"Of course we are. Our buddy Matt started this go fund me 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 concluded.
In February, Moore took to social media to express her frustration with Amazon after a package was allegedly delivered to her mother-in home that was destroyed in the LA fires.
"Do better, Amazon. Can we not have better discretion than to leave a package at a residence that no longer exists? This is my mother and father-in-law's home. Smh," Moore wrote on her Instagram stories alongside a photo of the alleged package in front of the demolished home.
"We've reached out to Ms. Moore via Instagram to apologize for this and to ask for more information from her in-laws so we're better able investigate what happened here," Amazon spokesperson Steve Kelly told Fox News Digital.
Kelly continued, "For weeks, we've advised those who are delivering on our behalf in southern California to use discretion in areas that were impacted by wildfires – especially if it involves delivering to a damaged home – that clearly didn't happen here."
In May, Moore called out Los Angeles County over the "meaningless protocol" preventing communities from rebuilding after fires destroyed thousands of structures in January.
The "A Walk To Remember" star shared that she has found it "impossible" to rebuild her home.
"Thanks, LA County for making it as frustrating and impossible to rebuild after the fires as possible," Moore wrote in an Instagram story, according to Us Weekly. "Shouldn't be surprised but it's mind boggling the red tape and hoops they're putting us all through."
"It's maddening and heartless … the endless hoops and meaningless protocol LA County is asking of fire victims who want to rebuild and get their lives back," she added. "Wasn't California going to make this as easy as possible?"
A few days later, the New Hampshire native had more to say, writing, "6 permits issued in Altadena. 10,000 structures burned down. The pace is glacial. The nonsensical red tape they have in place that prevents those of that are ready to rebuild is just mind-boggling.
"And I say this as someone with privilege: we have insurance, plans, a contractor, etc… everyone deserves an advocate and a system that is streamlined and supports success. People want to get the ball rolling and start to piece their lives back together."
"We JUST finished building one of the structures that burned down [this past] November. We have all the plans and permits ready to go and we were just told we have to resubmit everything and start over," she explained. "For no reason. LA County should want success stories right now but instead, they're focused on antiquated protocol. This is why people are leaving California in droves. They make it impossible."

Pamela Anderson Responds To Meghan Markle 'Rip-Off' Drama With 1 Perfect Line

Pamela Anderson has no time for catty comparisons to Meghan Markle. The 'Baywatch' star appeared on 'Watch What Happens Live' with Andy Cohen on Sunday, and was asked if she found the Duchess of Sussex's cooking show similar to her own. 'On a scale from one to 10, how much of a rip-off did you feel like 'With Love, Meghan' was of your show, 'Pamela's Cooking with Love?'' Cohen asked Anderson. 'There were articles saying that these two shows were very similar.' 'One ― I didn't [find them similar],' Anderson said while shaking her head no. 'One?' Cohen followed up. 'On a scale from one to 10, a one. You did not see any similarities?' 'I didn't really look,' the 'Naked Gun' actor explained before expertly shutting down any drama with one perfect line. 'I didn't invent cooking shows,' Anderson said with a laugh. 'So I mean ― she's just doing her thing.' Anderson's show was released in February 2025 on Amazon Prime, while Meghan's show premiered on Netflix in March after a two-month delay due to the wildfires in California. Meghan's show and lifestyle brand have previously drawn comparisons to Anderson's show, as well as Gwyneth Paltrow's and Martha Stewart's empires. While Paltrow and the duchess unveiled a surprise social media collaboration to shut down rumors of any beef between the two, Stewart was a little cagier in her most recent response to supposed similarities. 'Meghan I don't really know very well, and I hope she knows what she's talking about,' Stewart said of the duchess during an interview with Yahoo Lifestyle. 'Authenticity, to me, is everything, and to be authentic and knowledgeable about your subject matter is extremely important,' the lifestyle guru added. Related...

George Clooney Hits Back At Critics Who Question His Versatility As An Actor: 'I Don't Give A Sh–'

George Clooney is hitting back at critics who question his range as an actor. Speaking to Vanity Fair for a preview piece on Noah Baumbach's Jay Kelly, the two-time Oscar winner didn't mince words when addressing criticism that his characters are tantamount to playing versions of himself onscreen.

I don't give a sh–,' the Good Night, and Good Luck actor said. 'There aren't that many guys in my age group that are allowed to do both broad comedies like O Brother [Where Art Though?] and then do Michael Clayton or Syriana [for which he won the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award]. So if that means I'm playing myself all the time, I don't give a sh–.' Echoing a quote from the upcoming Jay Kelly — where Clooney portrays a 60-something movie star reflecting on his personal and professional life — he added, 'Have you ever tried playing yourself? It's hard to do.' The Wolfs star concluded, 'I've been the beneficiary of having my career not be massively successful in lots of different directions. I didn't really get successful, in the kind of success that can be blinding, until I was 33 years old [when ER began]. I'd been working for 12 years at that point. I had a real understanding of how fleeting all of it is and how little it has to do with you, quite honestly.' Jay Kelly, which will have its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival later this month, is bowing in theaters Nov. 14, with a streaming debut on Netflix Dec. 5. Co-written by Baumbach and Emily Mortimer, the dramedy also stars Laura Dern, Adam Sandler, Isla Fisher, Greta Gerwig, Billy Crudup, Grace Edwards, Stacy Keach, Riley Keough, Patrick Wilson, Nicôle Lecky, Thaddea Graham, Jim Broadbent, Eve Hewson, Alba Rohrwacher, Lenny Henry, Josh Hamilton and Ruby Stokes.

Erik Menendez returns to prison after hospital stay: report

Erik Menendez, one of the brothers serving a 50 years-to-life sentence for the 1989 murders of his parents in Beverly Hills, has returned to state prison in California after being hospitalized last month for kidney problems, according to a family member. "My dad is out of the hospital and back at the prison, preparing for our upcoming parole hearing,' his stepdaughter Talia Menendez wrote on Instagram stories, TMZ reports. Menendez was temporarily removed from the San Diego-area Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility last month and hospitalized for about a week for what his attorney called a 'serious medical condition.' The treatment included multiple surgeries to remove kidney stones, TMZ reported at the time. Menendez, 54, and his brother Lyle, 57, are both serving lengthy sentences for the 1989 killing of their parents José, a prominent record executive, and Kitty Menendez, in a case that has dominated headlines for decades. In May, the pair's life sentences were reduced to 50 years to life, making them eligible for parole. They are slated for back-to-back parole hearings on August 21 and 22. Last month, a judge ordered Los Angeles prosecutors to explain why the original murder convictions should not be re-examined, given new evidence that emerged, that could support the brothers' claims they killed their parents over alleged persistent sexual abuse at the hands of their father. The Menendez brothers' first trials ended in hung juries and the second saw the judge exclude evidence including testimony from family members who said they had witnessed or heard about the alleged abuse. Earlier this year, California Governor Gavin Newsom ordered a 'risk assessment' investigation into whether the brothers are fit to re-enter society. The governor could grant the brothers clemency though he has indicated any decision regarding their sentences would not occur until after their parole hearing. The Menendez case has been the subject of media interest, books, films and documentaries for years. Last year, their story was fodder for the Netflix series Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story. Kim Kardashian visited the brothers in prison that year and has advocated for their release.
