Bruce Willis' daughter Tallulah slams person who leaked details about dad's health battle: 'Stay away'
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Bruce Willis’ daughter Tallulah Willis is not taking kindly to anyone sharing negative comments about her father. She has pushed back after a report revealed personal details about his health battle with frontotemporal dementia (FTD).
The 32-year-old wasn’t happy about someone close to the family allegedly spilling private information and questioned why they would make such details public. She also had a pointed message for whoever was behind the leak.
Tallulah Willis questions source who shared details about Bruce Willis’ health
Tallulah addressed the issue in a now-expired Instagram Stories post on November 9. She shared a childhood photo with her father alongside a message about being careful when discussing his condition.
“I saw an article describing updates with my dad,” she wrote. “It struck me because the people who love him throughout the world have expressed to me, when I've shared photos, that there should be real, discernible mindfulness on what is posted.”
Her comments came after the Daily Mail published a report on November 8 featuring claims from an unnamed source about Bruce’s health. The source reportedly described the actor as someone who sometimes “acts like a baby now,” adding that he “looks like a baby who is staring at an object with curiosity, just taking it in.”
Tallulah appeared to take issue with that description and questioned the person responsible for sharing it. “So the ‘friend,’ ‘family member’ or source who shared that he 'acts like a baby now?’ How is that acceptable? Who are you?” she wrote.
She ended her post with a firm message: “Stay away from my family.” Tallulah did not identify the source or confirm whether the person was actually a friend or relative.
Bruce Willis’ family shared his frontotemporal dementia diagnosis in 2023
Willis retired from acting in 2022 after being diagnosed with aphasia, a condition that affects a person's ability to communicate. In February 2023, his family shared an update confirming that his diagnosis had progressed to frontotemporal dementia.
The actor, known for films such as 'Die Hard' and 'The Sixth Sense', has since received support from his family, including his wife, Emma Heming Willis, and his daughters. Tallulah is the youngest of Bruce’s three daughters with his former wife, Demi Moore. The actor also shares two daughters, Mabel and Evelyn, with Emma.
In September, Tallulah shared a photo of herself kissing her father's forehead, offering a glimpse of their time together. Bruce also attended her wedding to musician Justin Acee in August.
Tallulah has previously spoken about her relationship with her father. In a 2023 essay for Vogue, she reflected on being more present with him and wrote: “I now have the tools to be present in all facets of my life, and especially in my relationship with my dad.”
" I can bring him an energy that's bright and sunny, no matter where I've been. In the past, I was so afraid of being destroyed by sadness, but finally I feel that I can show up and be relied upon."
She added: “I can savor that time, hold my dad's hand and feel that it's wonderful. I know that trials are looming, that this is the beginning of grief, but that whole thing about loving yourself before you can love somebody else - it's real.”
