Mandy Moore Is Hopeful for the Future, Explains Why She 'Needed' This Break in 2020

Mandy Moore is opening up plans for the future and how she’s hopeful for change to come.

The 36-year-old This Is Us actress chatted with Parade magazine for the new cover story. Even though a lot of people want 2020 to end already, she explained why she has needed this break in 2020.

“I’m hopeful!” Mandy said about the future. “I feel like a lot of people look at 2020 and are ready to skip on over to 2021, and I totally understand that. But I think this period of recalibration was long needed and maybe couldn’t have happened unless we found ourselves in the midst of a global pandemic and fight for racial justice and all these other pieces of the puzzle that are starting to coalesce.”

She added, “There’s been this awakening in so many senses. I don’t see things returning to the status quo, and that’s good. We need change.”

If you’re a fan of Mandy‘s movie A Walk to Remember, you have to see what she did at the beginning of quarantine.

Mandy Moore Reacts to Ex Ryan Adams' Apology Essay: 'I've Not Heard From Him'

Mandy Moore is calling out her ex husband Ryan Adams for issuing a public apology one year after being accused of harassment and emotional abuse.

If you missed it, Adams wrote an apology essay one year after the allegations came to light. Mandy made an appearance on the Today show on Monday (July 6), where she was asked about his statements.

Mandy was asked if she believed he had changed.

“Um … you know it’s challenging because I feel like in in many ways I’ve said all I want to say about him and that situation, but I find it curious that someone would make a public apology but not do it privately,” Mandy said. “I am speaking for myself, I’ve not heard from him. I’m not looking for an apology necessarily, but l do find it curious that someone would do an interview about it without actually making amends privately.”

The last time Mandy publicly spoke about her ex, she made headlines.

Mandy Moore's Ex Husband Ryan Adams Pens Apology Essay One Year After Abuse Allegations

Ryan Adams has issued a public apology after being accused of harassment and emotional abuse by women.

The 45-year-old musician released an essay through The Daily Mail on Sunday (July 5) where he apologized for his past actions, revealed that he’s sober, and said that he is ready to confront his damaging behavior.

“There are no words to express how bad I feel about the ways I’ve mistreated people throughout my life and career,” Ryan wrote. “All I can say is that I’m sorry. It’s that simple. This period of isolation and reflection made me realize that I needed to make significant changes in my life. I’ve gotten past the point where I would be apologizing just for the sake of being let off the hook and I know full well that any apology from me probably won’t be accepted by those I’ve hurt. I get that and I also understand that there’s no going back.”

Back in February 2019, seven women came forward accusing Ryan of being manipulative, controlling, and obsessive.

One of the women that came forward was his ex-wife Mandy Moore, who said that his controlling behavior blocked her ability to move her music career forward.

“To a lot of people this will just seem like the same empty bulls–t apology that I’ve always used when I was called out, and all I can say is, this time it is different. Having truly realized the harm that I’ve caused, it wrecked me, and I’m still reeling from the ripples of devastating effects that my actions triggered,” Ryan continued. “There is no way to convince people that this time is truly different, but this is the albatross that I deserve to carry with me as a result of my actions. Realizing the consequences of my actions, I took a hard look inwards and sought to find the truth behind them. What pain was I carrying myself that was so poorly and wrongly being projected onto others? I made a promise to myself that no matter what it took, I would get to the root of these issues and finally start to fix myself so I could be a better friend, a better partner, and a better man overall.”

Ryan added: “That being said, no amount of growth will ever take away the suffering I had caused. I will never be off the hook and I am fully accountable for my harmful behavior, and will be for my actions moving forward. In my effort to be a better man, I have fought to get sober, but this time I’m doing it with professional help. Sobriety is a priority in my life, and so is my mental health. These, as I’m learning, go hand in hand. But I will not bore anyone with stories of my demons or use them to excuse what I’ve done. I really want to express that I’ve internalized the importance of self-care and self-work. I’m really trying.”

Ryan concluded his apology by writing, “Music is how I lay my soul bare, and in working through this, I have written enough music to fill half a dozen albums. Some of these songs are angry, many are sad but most of them are about the lessons I’ve learned over the last few years. Those ones an expression of my deepest remorse. I hope that the people I’ve hurt will heal. And I hope that they will find a way to forgive me.”

Susan added, “You know like when you just gotta see the fam? Yeah… that part. #ThisIsUs zooming.”

Mandy Moore Says She Gets Called 'Bigfoot' But Isn't Proud Of Her Size-10 Feet

Mandy Moore made an appearance on the latest at-home edition of Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Thursday. Here’s what the 36-year-old entertainer shared:

On supposed to being on tour right now: “My first time going on tour in 13 years! Since the world has shut down, the music industry has shut down. I’m sure there’s lots of tour busses that are just sitting, empty. We were supposed to be on the road but we’ve been here, quarantined for the last six weeks.”

On performing virtual concerts from home: “My husband Taylor [Goldsmith] is in my band. We wrote this whole record together, he plays on it and he was going to be on the road with me. So we decided once a week, he plays some of his music and I play some of my music. It’s been this catharsis at the end of the week and gives us something to work towards and look forward to.” (A few weeks ago, Mandy performed A Walk to Remember‘s “Only Hope” live for first time in over 16 years!)

On not being proud of having size-10 feet: “I found this bizarre, unofficial Mandy Moore book (while rummaging through old memorabilia). It’s an actual book that was for sale for $12.95 that someone wrote without me knowing about it but it has lots of fun facts. Like, this page here is ’10 Things We Love About Mandy,’ and the very first fact is ‘Mandy is proud of her big feet. She wears a size 10 shoe. They call her Big Foot but she doesn’t care, she thinks they’re cool feet.’ (laughs) I do have a size-10 foot, but I’m not proud of it!”

We love you Mandy, size-10 feet and all!
