Bruce Willis' Daughter Tallulah Willis Just Defended Posting Photos Of Her 'Vulnerable' Dad Following His Dementia Diagnosis
Bruce Willis' daughter Tallulah Willis has defended sharing photos of her 'vulnerable' father on social media following his dementia diagnosis. For context, Hollywood star Bruce, now 70, was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia in 2023, a year after he was diagnosed with aphasia, which impacts somebody's ability to understand or produce speech. Bruce's family previously shared that the dementia impacts his ability to communicate, and his ex-wife, Demi Moore, shared an update on how he is doing back in October. The couple split in 2000 but have maintained a close friendship, in part due to their shared children. 'The disease is what the disease is. And I think you have to be in real deep acceptance of what that is. But for where he's at, he is stable," Demi said at the 2024 Hamptons International Film Festival. 'What I always encourage is to just meet them where they're at. When we're holding on to what was, I think it's a losing game.'

Alongside a selection of photos of herself and Bruce, Rumer wrote: 'Today is hard, I feel a deep ache in my chest to talk to you and tell you everything I'm doing and what's going on in my life.' 'To hug you and ask you about life and your stories and struggles and successes,' she went on. 'I wish I asked you more questions while you could still tell me about it all. But I know you wouldn't want me to be sad today so I'll try to just be grateful reminding myself how lucky I am that you're my dad and that you're still with me and I can still hold you and hug you and kiss your cheek and rub your head I can tell you stories.' Referencing her two-year-old daughter Louetta, Rumer added: 'I can watch the way your eyes light up when you see Louetta I will be grateful for every moment I have with you. I love you so much dad happy Father's Day. Sending love to all those who are in the boat with me or have lost their fathers.'

In another, she is hugging Bruce and looks somewhat emotional, with Justin posing next to the star in the third photo. While most of Tallulah's followers welcomed this glimpse of Bruce, some questioned whether it was ethically right for her to share them. One user commented: 'I don't think you should expose your dad to the public! He's vulnerable! And some things should be kept private! You don't have his permission to post it!' And Tallulah took it upon herself to address the criticism by replying to this comment, explaining: 'hi. I hear that. As a family we use our discretion when posting. Today was a great day filled with smiles. I made the judgement call to show that to the world, because I know what he means to everyone.' Her words struck a chord with many, who praised Tallulah for having this approach. One person wrote: 'As a caregiver for my mom, who battled Alzheimer's for over 10 years, your posts are a beautiful way of showing the joy in the small moments. Having a network of families who share this experience, and who are NOT judgmental, is everything. Those making negative comments hopefully will never have to go through this. I wish you all the best. ❤️' 'Thanks for sharing Bruce with us. It's good to see his smile and yours as well,' somebody else added. Another commented: 'This is a loving picture. There should be no criticism of her posting this picture. Bruce and his daughter are raising awareness, so this can be cured someday.'

Bruce Willis' Daughter Rumer Shares Health Update as He Celebrates 70th Birthday
Yara Sameh Bruce Willis is ringing in a new decade with his family. The Hollywood star and ex-wife Demi Moore's eldest daughter, Rumer Willis, gave fans a welcome update on her father's health as he turned 70 on Wednesday. During an Q&A with fans on social media, Rumer, 36, opened up about her father's ongoing bout with frontotemporal dementia. In an Instagram Story, the 'House Bunny' alum was asked how her famous dad is doing, to which she responded, 'He's doing great, thank you for asking.' 'It is actually his 70th birthday tomorrow so please wish my papa a big happy birthday,' she said on Tuesday. The father of five shares daughters Rumer, Tallulah, and Scout with ex-wife Demi Moore — to whom he was married from 1987 to 2000. He also shares daughters Mabel and Evelyn with his current wife, Emma Heming Willis. Willis' family first announced the 'Die Hard' star's diagnosis with frontotemporal dementia, which can cause communication difficulties, in 2023. The entire crew has been vocal about dealing with the family patriarch's diagnosis. 'You know, I've said this before. The disease is what the disease is. And I think you have to be in real deep acceptance of what that is,' Moore, 62, said in October at the 2024 Hamptons International Film Festival. 'But for where he's at, he is stable.' 'What I always encourage is to just meet them where they're at. When you're holding on to what was, I think it's a losing game,' the actress added. 'But when you show up to meet them where they're at, there is great beauty and sweetness.' 'And being able to share with whatever we have, for however long we have it,' Moore said of spending time with her ex-husband. 'And being able to share with whatever we have, for however long we have it,' Moore reflected about spending time with Willis. In February, Rumer also gave fans an update on her dad's health. 'He's doing great,' she expressed while on the U.K. chat show 'Loose Women' at the time, admitting she is 'grateful' for growing up with Willis and Moore as parents. 'The thing I'm most grateful for is that even when they split up, they created such a beautiful foundation of prioritizing my sisters and I, that I never felt like I had to choose — they never played against each other,' she recalled of the exes, who divorced in 2000. 'We were a family and we still are very much a family, no matter what,' Rumer shared. In 2009, Willis tied the knot with Emma, 46. She has remained by the retired actor's side since his health diagnosis. The "Make Time Wellness" founder appeared on 'Today' in 2023 and told then co-anchor Hoda Kotb that her husband may or may not know what was happening. 'It's hard to know,' Emma said through tears. 'It's hard to know.' 'What I'm learning is that dementia is hard,' she continued. 'It's hard on the person diagnosed. It's also hard on the family. And that is no different for Bruce, or myself, or our girls. When they say that this is a family disease, it really is.' Before his diagnosis, Willis had been working as a leading man in Hollywood after landing the television series 'Moonlighting' in 1985. During the five-season drama, the actor won an Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series and a Golden Globe for Best Actor – Television Series Musical or Comedy. In 1987, Willis starred in his first credited feature film 'Blind Date,' opposite Kim Basinger and John Larroquette. By 1988, the Hollywood icon played real-life cowboy actor Tom Mix in 'Sunset' and brought the beloved action movie 'Die Hard' to life. Willis went on to star in four sequels of the franchise as John McClane over the next two decades. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Egypt confirms denial of airspace access to US B-52 bombers News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Lifestyle Pistachio and Raspberry Cheesecake Domes Recipe Videos & Features Bouchra Dahlab Crowned Miss Arab World 2025 ..
