Mandy Moore revealed that hernew blunt bob and darker hair changewas more than just an average haircut — it marks a defining moment in her life.
TheThis Is Usactress showed off the new cut on Instagram on Thursday writing that she “wanted to make a big change” with her hair. And in a new interview withAccess Hollywood, she revealed why.
“I just got done with work,” Moore said about wrapping the latest season of the hit NBC show. “I sort of have to look a certain way for eight months out of the year, and I’m like, ‘Celebrate! Do something different!'”
And there was also a second reason. “But I also think in light of, sort of the last couple of weeks have been, sort of— [holds back tears] I’m not going to get emotional — have been emotionally turbulent in a way. And I think there is something significant about shedding dead weight, and I’m moving forward.”

Three weeks ago she and six other women accused Moore’s ex-husband, musicianRyan Adams,of harassment and emotional abusein aNew York Timesstory. Moore, who was married to Adams from 2009-2016, said he took charge of her music career in 2010 and “discouraged” her from working with other producers and managers. She claimed that after they wrote songs together, Adams would “replace her with other female artists” when recording.
“His controlling behavior essentially did block my ability to make new connections in the industry during a very pivotal and potentially lucrative time — my entire mid-to-late 20s,” Moore told theTimes,also saying that he was “psychologically abusive” and belittled her musical abilities.
Moore’s significant hair cut and color was thanks to hairstylistAshley Streicherand Garnier’s newShade Selector Tool,which helped her selectGarnier Nutrisse Shade 53for her darker, shorter strands.
Many celebs, including herThis Is UscostarsChrissy Metzand Milo Ventimiglia commended Moore for her speaking out.
“There are things that people live through, so to be able to have a forum to discuss it and speak about it honestly, I’m incredibly proud of Mandy for just being who Mandy is, which is a very giving, inspiring woman,”Ventimiglia toldAccess. “And if anyone else can take away from that situation of being inspired tolet someone know that they’re not alonein a feeling, I think that’s a great thing to do,” he added.
After the release of the article,Adams apologized to Moore and the other womenwho accused him of emotional abuse. “I am not a perfect man andI have made many mistakes. To anyone I have ever hurt, however unintentionally, I apologize deeply and unreservedly,” he wrote in a series of Tweets. “But the picture that this article paints is upsettingly inaccurate. Some of its details are misrepresented; some are exaggerated; some are outright false.”
