Well, that didn't take long.
Celebrities have once again proved that no amount of tragedy or carnage can humble them. No amount of collective human loss will bring them down to our level.
Exhibit A: America's one-time sweetheart, Mandy Moore.
As LA wildfires continue raging, the 40-year-old actress is begging for money on Instagram.
Yes, the star of 'This Is Us', a ratings juggernaut that reportedly earned her $23 million over the show's entire six-season run, wants average Americans to donate to her own family members.
Check out Moore's galling, tone-deaf, frankly obscene Instagram post, promoting a GoFundMe for her adult in-laws, one of whom is a 'touring musician' with a baby on the way.
Maybe he should get a real job. Just a thought.
The target fundraising goal for these two privileged, hipster Angelenos, by the way: $60,000.
Please. That's the equivalent of change in Moore's surely custom-made couch cushions.
No matter. This is what she wrote in that gibberish post, defending herself against critics who say she has plenty of money to help her family out:
'People questioning whether we're helping out our own family or attributing some arbitrary amount of money google [sic] says someone has is NOT helpful or empathetic.'
Of course not, Mandy. That's the point.
Why would, or could, we empathize with you? Empathy is the result of having experienced the exact same set of circumstances.
Most of us aren't sitting on $23 million.
America made Mandy Moore, a mediocre talent at best, a multimillionaire. She never has to work another day in her life. She and her family can live like royalty off her substantial passive income.

I saw a story on DM some of them are still living in cars and campers.
Her gross income was $23 million. I wonder how much was left over after US and California taxes. Was that money spent wisely?
I call this sort of thing reverse Robin Hood.
She made $23 million over a six year run. That’s only $3.8 million per year. Taxes took 40% of that, leaving her only $2.3 million per year to live on.
As a wannabe A-Lister, she probably blew $1 million per year on a lavish, wasteful Hollywood party lifestyle. Then you throw in living expenses of $0.2 million per year, $120,000 per year for the mortgage and $40,000 per year for an A-Lister McLaren and Koenigsegg.
Add it all up and you find that poor Mandy is nearly broke and doesn’t have a dime for her relations.
Everybody, we need to empathize and dig deep for Mandy. It’s rough being a washed-up, past-prime TV star.
I call this sort of thing reverse Robin Hood.
He steals from the poor
And gives to the rich
Stupid Bitch!
Beat me by one minute
Following the FR tradition of only reading the headline i just assumed they were advocating for the arsonists to be given no bail...
The BEST source I have seen anywhere is the ‘Western North Carolina, Eastern Tennessee and West Coastal Florida’ thread posted at the Conservative Treehouse. Among the 2000 posts are a number of posts referencing local charities that are actually HELPING flood victims, unlike FEMA. Search ‘Tennessee’ to find the main threads. Snow is currently falling, and temps are looking to hit the single digits Wednesday night...God have mercy on those in tents..
Oh no they are pissed off by the arsonist.
They want you little people to donate so they can rebuild their expensive homes.
I’m laying in bed watching their homes burn while eating popcorn and drinking hot chocolate and watching the snow fall.

“Wait a tic...Blimey, this redistribution of wealth is trickier than I thought.”
Exactly! This was written by a jealous journo who knows little about how many “wealthy” people manage money nor the taxes and support managers that eat into it. They instantly believe the wealth estimates listed on Google. The smart ones bank it in equity assets, as much as possible. It’s usually non-liquid. Now, we’re learning - as in James Woods - that those assets aren’t necessarily insured (or were recently dropped). Yeah, they should have six figures in a bank, but many don’t. I learned this the hard way, myself, by not planning for emergencies.
“Gentlemen, ladies, bring out your valuables please. Come along sir, come along. Come along, madam, come along. Oh, is that all you’ve got ... well, he’s got much more than you ... so you’d better have some of his ... (transfers money from one passenger to another, dropping some)... sorry... pick them up in a moment... there’s about oh, what, nine down there... so you must have about... oh, he’s still got lots... oh you’ve got what? ... you’ve got more than he started with... so if I give you some of those (transferring more coins) ... well now, look ... have you got a bit of jewellery? If I give you that one and you have some of his coins ... is that another box? Were you trying to hide it? Well, that’s nice! Right! Now. I’ve got a tiara ... you’ve got one... you’ve got one of the boxes... you’ve got one... anyone else got a tiara? Take your hat off! (passenger does so to reveal a tiara)... Oh, honestly, it’s absolutely pointless trying to do this if you’re going to cheat. It really is awful of you;..”
I seriously doubt many family members of LA residents would open their homes to these liberals. Most are just thankful CA has kept them away.
A good commie never spends their own money.
Never heard of her.....
Never mind her gross income, or any of their gross income. I have to believe they have insurance on their homes.
Don’t know which “her” you’re referring to but Maureen Calahan appears on Megyn Kelly’s show often and she’s great. Not a conservative at least up to voting for Trump, but she’s got an open mind and calls balls and strikes, as she does here.
I was speaking about the one the article was about and not the writer of it. Don’t see Megyn Kelly since she left FOX...
Let me guess: She’s fund raising from the $1,000 +/night Beverly Hills Hotel, right?
