She continued, “The headline basically says there is no more joy in my husband. Now, I can just tell you, that is far from the truth."

“No. It is the complete opposite of that, okay? These stupid clickbaity things that freak people out. Stop doing that. There’s nothing to see here, okay?” Willis' wife asserted.

Internet backs Emma Heming Willis as she asks media to be mindful of their stories
Many people showed their support for the 45-year-old as she asked the media to be mindful of the stories that they do about people with dementia.
One social media user wrote, “This is so well spoken and written…and yet it will sadly fall on deaf ears of the people that do this on the first place. What is also true (YES and - two ideas can coexist on the same situation) is that your message will hit on the eyes and ears of the people that read the headlines and feel the fear…and alleviate some of it. Thank you for your wisdom. ❤”
Another user noted, “I know that sometimes, silence and ignoring this is key for your own mental health. But taking time to actually acknowledge this and warn the world for a better good, it's remarkable. Thank you. It really makes a difference for people living this situation or about to. Thank you for all you do to help everyone living this new complicated chapter. You are an inspiration ❤️🙌.”
One added, “THIS!! I often told people that my mom and I still lived such a full life with her dementia. It is not the end, it’s a NEW CHAPTER so well said.”
