Tallulah Willis is sharing her thoughts on her mom Demi Moore’s past relationship with Ashton Kutcher.
For those who need a quick refresher, Demi and Ashton got together back in 2003 — three years after her divorce from her ex Bruce Willis was finalized.
Demi and Ashton tied the knot in 2005, when she was 42 and he was 27, though ended up announcing their separation six years later, in 2011. At several points during their marriage, the couple were blighted by rumors that Ashton had been unfaithful towards Demi.
In 2017, Ashton addressed the infidelity claims made against him as he accepted the Robert D. Ray Pillar of Character Award in Iowa.
“I’m also probably the first person to get this award for character who had, like, his name splashed across every gossip magazine as an adulterer like five years ago,” he said.
“Character comes when those magazines tear you apart for something you may or may not have done and you gotta go out and perform tomorrow — with everyone looking at you like you might be an adulterer,” he added.
Two years later, in 2019, Demi released her tell-all memoir, titled Inside Out, in which she claimed that Ashton had cheated twice and “expressed his fantasy” of having threesomes during their relationship.
Demi alleges in the book, “Because we had brought a third party into our relationship, Ashton said that blurred the lines and, to some extent, justified what he’d done.”
But in spite of all this, Ashton revealed a year later that he and Demi had no bad blood between them.
“There’s no badness,” he said during a February 2020 interview on the WTF with Marc Maron podcast. “It's all good, we don't hang out.”
And Ashton also noted that he remains close with Demi and Bruce’s three daughters, Rumer, Scout, and Tallulah, who are now 34, 31, and 29 respectively.
“I make a really conscious effort to stay in touch with the girls. It was eight years,” he said. “I was helping raise teenage girls through their adolescence. I love them. I'm never going to stop loving them and respecting them and honoring them and rooting for them to be successful in whatever they are pursuing.”
Now, Tallulah — who was around 9 years old when Demi and Ashton first met and started dating — has publicly opened up about how their relationship impacted her as a child.
Tallulah is currently starring in Fox reality series Stars On Mars, which sees a group of celebrities — like Ariel Winter, Tom Schwartz, and Christopher Mintz-Plasse — competing to see who’d be best suited to live on a simulation of the planet Mars.
Opening up to her fellow “astronauts” in the premiere episode, Tallulah said, “It was like 2003, my mom had just started dating Ashton.”
“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,” she revealed.
“It was really hard and I'm still unpacking,” she added.
However, Tallulah went on to note that she eventually found herself on “the other side” of it all.
“I found the other side of that, which is like I really love myself now and I love my family,” she said.
