Mandy Moore Says Taylor Goldsmith Asked Her Father for Her Hand

Her May 19 podcast remark highlights a personal contrast with her marriage to Ryan Adams and echoes allegations from a 2019 New York Times profile

Overview

  • Moore said on her That Was Us podcast that Goldsmith asked her father for her hand in marriage, a gesture she said her first husband, Ryan Adams, did not perform.
  • The comment was made on a May 19 episode and drew attention because Moore has spoken about her Adams marriage only rarely.
  • Moore’s remark was reported alongside the 2019 New York Times profile in which she and six other women described controlling and manipulative behavior by Adams.
  • Adams has publicly apologized in 2020 for mistreating people while also disputing specific characterizations of his relationship with Moore through his lawyer.
  • Moore has since remarried Goldsmith, started a family and described feeling like a different person, a narrative outlets say the podcast comment reinforces rather than adding new allegations or legal claims.
