Tallulah Willis Says Her Mom Demi Moore’s Marriage To Ashton Kutcher Sent Her Into A “Total Dumpster Fire”
Stars On Mars is that Fox reality show where celebs pretend to live on Mars and… compete with each other? Fight aliens? I dunno; it’s unclear (at least to someone who has barely Googled that shit). The series finally premiered last night, and contestant Tallulah Willis is making headlines for her comments about her mom Demi Moore’s six-year marriage to Ashton Kutcher. According to Too Fab, 29-year-old Tallulah said her mom marrying Ashton in 2005 was a really hard time for her and compared the experience to “a total dumpster fire.” Dumpster fire on the outside and the inside. Consistency is key…
Tallulah’s fellow “astronaut,” wrestler Ronda Rousey, asked Tallulah what it was like growing up with famous parents. Tallulah explained that she grew up in Idaho, and she knew Demi and dad Bruce Willis “had this job that made them this thing, and we got to do cool stuff,” but she didn’t “fully understand.” Then she got into Demi’s relationship with Ashton. via Too Fab:
“It was like 2003, my mom had just started dating Ashton,” she said in the habitat. “It was that moment, a lot going on, and I really went inside of myself, and that did send me into like a total dumpster fire. It was really hard, and I’m still unpacking.”
“However, I found the other side of that, which is like I really love myself now, and I love my family,” she shared.
Tallulah was 9 years old when Demi (then 40) began dating Ashton (then 25). The couple got hitched in 2005, separated in 2011, and divorced in 2013. In 2019, Demi released her memoir, and she wrote about how Ashton cheated on her a bunch and talked her into doing threesomes. When they split, Demi’s sobriety and mental health took a hit, and her daughters, Tallulah, 34-year-old Rumer, and 31-year-old Scout Willis, have said her drinking turned her into a “monster.” Since then, Demi sobered up and got her shit together, but clearly, the girls are still working out their issues.
A few days ago, Vogue published an essay Tallulah wrote about growing up in the “long shadows” of her parents and Bruce Willis’ recent battle with dementia:
But I’ve known that something was wrong for a long time. It started out with a kind of vague unresponsiveness, which the family chalked up to Hollywood hearing loss: “Speak up! Die Hard messed with Dad’s ears.” Later that unresponsiveness broadened, and I sometimes took it personally. He had had two babies with my stepmother, Emma Heming Willis, and I thought he’d lost interest in me. Though this couldn’t have been further from the truth, my adolescent brain tortured itself with some faulty math: I’m not beautiful enough for my mother, I’m not interesting enough for my father.
