“Last night we attended @OM_Officiel annual Gala to help raise money for youth suffering in Marseille - full of good intentions,” the
51-year-old actress tweeted on Wednesday, April 24. “While raising a meaningful amount of € for a great cause. Then [embarrased face emoji] ‘big surprise auction item’ came to raise money for rebuilding Notre Dame???”

“Surely the children suffering in Marseille could have used the 100,000 € more than the church that has already received over a billion in donations by billionaires,”
Anderson continued.

“I hope they will reconsider and give to where it is needed. to the community here in Marseille where it was intended,"
she added. "And would go much further in making lives better [prayer hands emoji].”

Much of the money has been coming from the rich and famous of France, including
