Mandy Moore Calls Out Driver After Hit & Run
Mandy Moore is not running away from confrontation.
Following a frightening hit-and-run incident, the This Is Us actress—who shares kids August "Gus," 4, Oscar "Ozzie,” 2, and Louise, 10 months, with husband Taylor Goldsmith—took to social media to call out the driver that crashed into her and her family.
“The woman who rear ended my family and then drove off as we pulled over, hope your karma finds you,” Mandy wrote on her Instagram Stories August 1. “Thankfully everyone was ok but what kind of human does that?”
After all, the car accident was just the latest scary incident the 41-year-old and her family have encountered this year. Back in January, they were forced to evacuate during Southern California’s deadly Eaton fire.
“I love you, Altadena,” the Walk to Remember star wrote in the caption of a Jan. 8 Instagram post showing footage of local buildings on fire. “Grateful for my family and pets getting out last night before it was too late (and endless gratitude to friends for taking us in and bringing us clothes and blankets).”
Mandy, whose family was taken in by her good friend Hilary Duff in their time of need, went on to express what she was feeling while detailing some of the damage that directly impacted her family.
“Honestly, I’m in shock and feeling numb for all so many have lost, including my family,” she continued. “My children’s school is gone. Our favorite restaurants, leveled. So many friends and loved ones have lost everything too.”
More recently, Mandy and her family of five got to enjoy a much more relaxing experience while on vacation in Punta Mita in Nayarit, Mexico.
In sweet photos shared to Instagram, the Tangled actress and the Dawes frontman sat in the sand with their little ones, right where the score meets the water, with scenic rocks behind them. More pics captured other fun memories—such as delicious meals and her kids enjoying the waves—from the trip with friends, including cookbook author Gaby Dalkin.
"Nothing beats a beach vacation with some of your besties," Mandy wrote in caption of the July 31 post. "What an epic few days, @fspuntamita! We can’t wait to come back (Gus hasn’t stopped talking about it)!!"

"I marvel at all you bring to the table- your patience, your gentle nature, your willingness to change a diaper or get up with a crying baby without me ever asking or to run around and get in the dirt with a very active toddler at any moment," the actress continued in her message. "Your ability to get Gus to eat something he'd flat out refused with me or elicit Ozzie's immediate laughter, your music curation for our boys- which is TOP NOTCH… I could go on and on."

As Ed Sheeran would say, "You can keep me inside the pocket of your ripped jeans." Or, according to Taylor, as a bookmark in your favorite book.
