However, once the parents sued her, allegedly inferring that the actress was partly responsible for Valle’s death and asking for more than $25,000 in damages, she was a bit firmer with her words. In the court documents obtained by the outlet, she said that Valle was on her property “unlawfully” that night and that any judgment should take his responsibility into consideration. “Ru @rumerwillis Scouter is demi moore sober @scoutlaruewillis and my Boo @buuski seeing your beautiful smiling faces-you are what makes my heart worth beating. Everything I do is for you!” Moore wrote in the caption.

“Feeling thankful for the freedom that comes with breaking addictions and dependency on substance,” he added. “Sobriety, clarity, and spiritual connectedness feels real good.” Crediting Arnett as “the reason” he went sober, Cooper added, “He took that risk of having a hard conversation with me that put me on a path of deciding to change my life.” The star of Hunt for Red October does not often speak to his sobriety journey, which began almost forty years ago.

Besides having taken her clothes off for films in her youth — such as Striptease (1996), Blame It On Rio (1984), and About Last Night (1986) — showing her goods on magazine covers was what actually brought her controversy. A 1991 cover of Vanity Fair showing a naked, seven-month pregnant Moore was even parodied by famous comedian Leslie Nielsen to promote his film Naked Gun 33⅓. Some found the cover empowering for pregnant women, others though it was objectifying.

To deal with all these issues, she eventually checked into a residential facility. Actor Demi Moore had a rough go of things after splitting from her ex-husband, Ashton Kutcher, a relationship that she referred to as a kind of addiction. “It was like the sun went down, like a monster came,” Moore’s youngest daughter Tallulah Willis recalled.

Moore said in the book that breaking sobriety early on in the relationship led to increased substance abuse in the aftermath of a miscarriage she suffered while six months pregnant, according to Radar. Two of Demi Moore’s daughters recall how “jarring” it was when the actress relapsed into substance abuse a few years ago, saying it was “like a monster came.” Demi Moore made headlines around the world in 2015 when a man died in her swimming pool during a party.

“90% of the time, if we look at someone else and see something that feels triggering, it is usually triggering because it is something we don’t like about ourselves,” Willis said on “Addiction Talk,” referencing why her mother’s relapse was the catalyst for her own alcoholism. For Rumer Willis, the moment she saw Demi Moore lying semiconscious on the floor was a turning point. Moore also wrote about breaking her almost 20-year sobriety after meeting Kutcher, a “gradual downward spiral” that led her to turn to alcohol and drugs. Demi Moore is revisiting her days on the set of St. Elmo’s Fire, revealing to former costar Andrew McCarthy that she had a 24/7 sober companion on set with her amid her addiction struggles.

Finding Sobriety—Struggling to Maintain It

Having been with the site since 2011, Sean interviewed myriad directors, actors and producers, and created ReelBlend, which he proudly cohosts with Jake Hamilton and Kevin McCarthy. And he’s the author of RELEASE THE SNYDER CUT, the Spider-Man history book WITH GREAT POWER, and an upcoming book about Bruce Willis. One of the defining points of The Substance is that many in the entertainment industry – in the cult of celebrity – strive to maintain their relevance by doing whatever it takes to appear younger. Director Coralie Fargeat takes that point to hilarious extremes, but that doesn’t detract from the lesson people should take away from it. And casting Moore in the role of Elisabeth helps make her point. The industry looks at actors and actresses differently after a certain age.
