Mandy Moore is speaking out after a hit-and-run incident involving her family.
On Friday, August 1, the This Is Us alum, 41, revealed via her Instagram Stories that a woman rear-ended her family’s vehicle and then fled the scene.
“The woman who rear-ended my family and then drove off [when] we pulled over, hope your karma finds you,” Moore wrote in the since-expired post, according to Page Six. “Thankfully, everyone was OK but what kind of human does that?”
Moore shares three children with her husband, musician Taylor Goldsmith: sons August “Gus” Harrison, 4, Oscar “Ozzie” Bennett, 2, and daughter Louise “Lou” Everett, 10 months. She didn’t specify which family members were in the car at the time of the incident.
The actress has previously been open about her family’s challenges, including the devastating loss of their Los Angeles home during the Eaton Fire in January. On February 11, Moore shared a photo of the home on Instagram, revealing that “the contents of our home are a near total loss” due to its location near the fires and other burning structures. In an earlier post on January 9, she noted that “miraculously” the “main part” of the house was “still standing.”
“Pretty much everything will have to be disposed of…maybe even the walls too,” she wrote at the time. “We won’t be there for a very long time as it and the neighborhood itself get sorted out and cleaned and the rebuilding starts.”
Six months later, her former This Is Us costar and friend Chrissy Metz shared in an interview with Extra that Moore was “doing well.”
“I mean, thank goodness. A lot of the structure was able to be salvaged, which is great, but it’s so jarring. It’s so life-altering, and she has children and pets,” Metz said.
In a March update on Instagram, Moore announced that she and Goldsmith, 39, were preparing to rebuild. She posted photos of their home prior to the fire, reflecting on what was lost.
“I miss this space and our home and Altadena immensely, so I’m looking forward to rebuilding version 2.0,” she wrote.
Despite the setbacks, Moore and Goldsmith have remained focused on creating joyful memories as a family of five. Earlier this week, the Tangled star posted a heartwarming beach photo on Instagram, showing the family enjoying time together in the surf.
In the photo, Moore is seated beside her husband while son Ozzy clings to her neck. Nearby, Gus plays with the sand, and Goldsmith holds baby Lou in his lap.
