This is why Demi Moore’s daughter didn’t talk to her

In November 2019, Demi Moore and two of her daughters, Rumer and Tallulah Willis, appeared on Jada Pinkett Smith’s Facebook show Red Table Talk, which she hosts with her daughter Willow Smith and her mom Adrienne Banfield-Jones. The ladies dished on Moore’s autobiographical book, specifically her revelations about struggling with addiction. People reported that Rumer described Demi’s addiction as “jarring.” 

Tallulah recalled, “It’s like the sun went down and like, a monster came. I remember there’s just the anxiety that would come up in my body when I could sense that her eyes were shutting a little bit more, the way she was speaking. Or she would be a lot more affectionate with me if she wasn’t sober.”

She went on to confess, “It was very weird, and there were moments where it would get angry.” She divulged, “I recall being very upset and kind of treating her like a child and speaking to her like a child. It was not the mom that we had grown up with.”

Aside from discussing Moore’s issues related to alcohol, Tallulah said she felt like she “didn’t know [Moore] very well.” During the episode, Tallulah admitted she learned a lot about her mom by reading her book. Before the book, Tallulah “felt like [her] mom made a choice to hold back certain things, like sharing about her past…” As a result, she shared, “I think it always made me feel very far away from her.”
