Danny Cipriani and AnnaLynne McCord's Wedding Crowdfunding Sparks Backlash

Actress AnnaLynne McCord and former rugby star Danny Cipriani announced plans to finance their Los Angeles wedding through a Honeyfund crowdfunding campaign, inviting guests to contribute to items ranging from the venue to the marriage licence. The couple, whose combined net worth is estimated in the millions, faced swift criticism on social media, with many calling the request for cash gifts "tacky" and questioning why wealthy individuals would seek public funding for a private event.

In addition to public reaction, Cipriani's ex‑wife posted comments on social media about their past relationship, adding another layer of media attention to the couple's wedding preparations. British and German outlets reported on the controversy, highlighting both the unconventional fundraising approach and the personal history surrounding the rugby star.
