Demi Moore opens up about turbulent years with Ashton Kutcher Los Angeles Times

“There is a man who would be considered my biological father who I don’t really have a relationship with,” she would say in a later interview. In a separate interview with Ellen DeGeneres airing Tuesday, Moore said that she talked to Kutcher before the book’s release. She also acknowledged that all the experiences she wrote about were told from her point of view. Moore’s love affair with and subsequent marriage to “That ’70s Show” alum Ashton Kutcher was closely tracked in the tabloids because of their stark age difference.

  1. That would be the last eight figure sum she would receive, as studios became wise to her salary demands.
  2. She had further box-office success in the early 1990s with A Few Good Men (1992), Indecent Proposal (1993), and Disclosure (1994).
  3. Senate committee about how the organization had created software that had been used to find thousands of trafficking victims via the internet, per KTLA5.
  4. “My life is intrinsically based on my relationship.” One detail he shared with Redbook was that he and Moore didn’t jump into bed together right away.
  5. She managed to get sober in time and the movie made her a star in the making, but unfortunately for the actress it wouldn’t be her last experience with substance abuse.
  6. They “stayed up the entire night, still talking, telling each other our life stories – and understanding everything the other person was saying,” Moore remembered.

It is an exercise that she has already undertaken in a memoir, “Inside Out,” which Harper will release on Sept. 24. Willis and Moore’s amicable uncoupling allowed them to spend the holidays together with their kids, and the exes even started vacationing together with their significant others. Speaking to Parade (via CBS News) in 2006, Kutcher said of his relationship with Willis, “He’s not ‘the other guy.’ He’s not in competition. We have our own friendship.”

Hollywood made friendship another unrealistic ideal. A Broadway hit finally smacks it down

He certainly didn’t seem to mind at the time, and it looks as though he wants to keep the incident in the past. Demi Moore’s call for women to unite is particularly timely considering what’s happening in Hollywood right now. But in an unexpected turn of events, the actress has been dragged into the sexual abuse scandal herself — and she’s on the wrong side of it.

Meeting Ashton Kutcher and feeling ‘electricity’

“He’s like a friend as well as a stepdad. … He understands more than my parents sometimes because he’s closer to my age,” she said. On the fateful night their romance began, Ashton Kutcher overheard Demi Moore calling her daughters to tell them goodnight. “He looked right at me and he said, ‘That is the most beautiful thing I ever heard,'” she told The Guardian. Soon, Demi’s three girls were painting a rosy picture of what life with their stepfather was like. “It worked so well that I can’t remember not having him there,” Scout Willis told Harper’s Bazaar in 2008.

Demi Moore filmography

As the ramifications of prolific predator Harvey Weinstein’s downfall continue to grip Tinseltown, more and more stars are being implicated. Maybe we should have, however, as the evidence has actually been on YouTube for years. Thanks to the aforementioned fur coat fiasco, Demi Moore found herself in the dog house with top animal charity PETA, and while that had a negative impact on her public image, it shouldn’t distract from all the philanthropy she’s been engaged alcohol-induced blackouts blackout drunk alcohol blackouts in since. The former Brat Pack beauty has put her name to numerous good causes over the years, backing everything from AIDS/HIV and cancer research to support for the homeless. Her biggest passion has always been the abolition of modern day slavery and human trafficking, however, and in 2018 she was honored for her efforts to keep young girls safe from such horrors. “I was drawn to Andie’s approach, which puts women at the forefront,” Moore explained.

Tallulah has written about feeling the need to be the “loud, stupid, drunk girl at the party” and how she smoked a lot of weed as a teenager. She has also revealed that she almost died from alcohol poisoning at the age of 15. An eating disorder caused her to starve herself, and binge drinking: what it does to your body in college, she battled crippling depression. To deal with all these issues, she eventually checked into a residential facility. Ashton Kutcher had gotten married and started a family with his “That ’70s Show” co-star Mila Kunis by the time “Inside Out” was released in 2019.

In addition to accusing him of being unfaithful, she claims that he once told her, “I don’t know if alcoholism is a real thing — I think it’s all about moderation” (via Entertainment Weekly). After nearly two decades of being sober, Moore started drinking alcohol again. She also claims that Kutcher was cold and unsupportive after she developed an addiction to Vicodin and tried to detox. “I felt like he was angry with me for having this problem in the first place,” she wrote. In a seeming response to Moore’s claims, Kutcher tweeted, “I was about to push the button on a really snarky tweet. Then I saw my son, daughter, and wife and I deleted it.”

In “Inside Out”  (via Radar), Moore claimed that Kutcher cheated on her twice. She alleged that the other time happened in 2010 with a woman Kutcher met during an outing with Moore’s oldest daughter, Rumer Willis. Kutcher purportedly confessed to being unfaithful and tried to defend his behavior by bringing up past threesomes Moore had agreed to (and later regretted). “Because we had brought in a third party into our relationship, Ashton said, that blurred the lines,” she wrote (via People). Much ado was made about Demi Moore being 15 years older than Ashton Kutcher.

In a 2009 W magazine interview, Moore was speaking about her declaration that she wanted to be known as a “puma” when she said that she “Twittered it out.” In addition to striking up a friendship with his wife’s ex-husband, Ashton Kutcher also worked with him. Bruce Willis appeared alongside Kutcher in a 2005 episode of “That ’70s Show,” making a cameo as a sleazeball character named Vic. Willis’ costume almost made him unrecognizable; it included glasses, a mustache, and a bad brunette wig with bushy sideburns. Vic interviewed Kutcher’s character, Kelso, for a job working as a security guard at Chicago’s Playboy Club.

But the woman who greeted me from atop a staircase, in the boxy residence she calls her “peaceful Zen treehouse,” and asked if I was chilly or needed a jacket, was not the steely star whose movies, like “St. Elmo’s Fire,” “Ghost” and “A Few Good Men,” helped define the 1980s and ’90s. She was not the stylized deity venerated on magazine covers, not the inadvertent pioneer for pay equity in her industry, nor the walled-off enigma who, by her own design, resisted most efforts to reveal the authentic person behind the adamantine roles she played. Moore’s parents both dealt with alcoholism and constantly moved her family across the country, ahead of debt collectors and infidelities. Moore defined Hollywood in the ’90s in some of the decade’s biggest hits, but her fame has not come without loss and isolation. The actress went through a period of anguish nearly seven years ago when she was not speaking to her ex-husband, her three children stopped speaking to her, urging her to get help.
