Your support makes all the difference.This is Us star Mandy Moore has expressed her rage over an aborted interview with an unnamed media outlet.
The actor shared a slightly redacted message on her Instagram Stories, in which an interview offer is withdrawn after Moore refused to discuss “a certain subject”.
“When [the publication] were told that I had spoken plenty about a certain subject in my life and would have no further comment (truly there are countless interviews they could pull from, that story is over and there’s nothing more to say), this was the response we got back,” Moore wrote.
In the message, the journalist stated that Moore’s interview would be “put on pause for the time being” because of her unwillingness to discuss the topic in question. Moore wrote that her “blood is still boiling” after receiving the message.
It is assumed that the topic in question is Moore’s relationship with her ex-husband, the singer-songwriter Ryan Adams, to whom she was married from 2009 to 2016.
Last year, Moore alleged that Adams, who has faced sexual misconduct allegations from multiple women, was psychologically abusive during their marriage. She said his “controlling behaviour” hindered her music career.
In an open letter published by the Daily Mail last July, Adams apologised for his behaviour but did not specifically respond to the multiple allegations of abuse made against him.
In her Instagram post, Moore wrote: “Any comment I make about said experience becomes clickbait and gives them the energy and time they seek and have already stolen from too many for too long.”
She claimed that the unidentified publication was “out of touch with the cultural discussion around abusive relationships”.
