Demi doesn't realize that this interview is going to save lives because so many women/men feel the way that she did. That we are not good enough and that others will not love us. Demi is being so open. Blessings to you Demi and your family.
how can you blame him? She admitted to how she felt unlovable & she put so much pressure on him to always make her feel better...its exhausting to have to always hold another up
Nicki Snyder I think she admits that it was too much for him especially considering his age and maturity level she takes responsibility for that. Do you know who’s never taken responsibility for cheating and being kind of a shithead about it? Ashton.
Nicki Snyder He knew who he was marrying. I agree, it can be mentally taxing to love a damaged person. But he knew who he was marrying and has no excuse for cheating.
Fantastic interview! I've always liked Demi Moore as an actress, but now I LOVE her for being so real and open! She's really in recovery, it's authentic.
Agree! If she could only see what the rest of the world sees when we look at her... an incredibly intelligent, talented, fearless, genuine & exquisite woman! She is iconic in so many ways!
I know she just said that and I wanted to scream oh honey you are that and talented . All families experience stress and downfalls it’s how we can live and get back on our feet .
Yikes these comments are worse than I would expect. I enjoyed hearing Demi’s story and admire the bravery it took to be that vulnerable. I’m an addict too and stories like hers help humanize an epidemic that’s so incredibly misunderstood (as you can see in the comments).
Candle Jenner My dad died from an overdose...💔 So addictions are certainly a heartbreaking reality and I personally have a chilling reminder of what they can do. 😰😢😣 I miss my dad everyday, so the disgusting Insensitive comments are SO UNNECESSARY. I commend Demi Moore in this open and raw honest interview. I feel this book is going to touch lives, minds, and hearts... I am going to check it out when I can, I still struggle with grief and sadness.🥀😔 Candle I’m certainly wishing you the most best...💛🙏🏾🕊 #DeeplyMoved
Growing up in an alcoholic home didn’t come to a turning point for me until my 30’s. A therapist helped me see that it was not my fault that my parents couldn’t love me the way I needed them to love me. It wasn’t my fault they just didn’t have it in themselves to give. Accepting that was a revelation for me.
As someone who grew up with a narcissistic mother, I can totally understand her pain...and I try everyday to forgive and be a better mother to my kids...
Me too. My mother was awful and targeted me. Don't miss her a bit...my kids have thanked me for not being like her. We keep them away from her for their own safety. It sad, but it's the luck of the draw what kind of family you get. It's just the way it is.
I hear you... I grew up with only my father who is a narcissist and alcoholic. We have no relationship, as they can never truly care about anyone else. A sad way to live life.
People really seem to forget that everyone is a human being with human being tendencies. People go through things. It happens. We should show empathy always
The comments section is so scary. When people share their story, they get bashed - say that they are seeking attention, judge their past, and that some things should be kept private and not be imposed into the public. But when people remain silent on their issues, and something happens...they get bashed again - for not speaking out earlier, saying "how can people help you if you don't say anything", and that whatever happened its their choice and thus, their fault. I hope that more stories can be shared to the public, as it should be a safe environment to do so. Alcoholism, drug addiction, rape, infidelity, miscarriage, the pain of losing your children's support...having survived all that shows immense strength. I hope that others will be inspired to stay strong and not give up too. Thank you for sharing your story Demi.
I agree with you 100%. Demi doesn't strike me as an attention seeker. She seems very genuine. I am glad she is sharing her story. I had no clue that she went through all of this. Sad.
It's always a inspiring thing to see, people being completely open and real about their lives. Regardless of the judgment or backlash. Celebs have many ways of going after attention, fame, etc. So why would they choose to share their darkest moments in life for any other reason than to help others and heal within themselves? Anyone who has experienced any relatable hardships, can see the genuine heart in this. It's always very clear to most of us, that the ones who like to bring negative attention to themselves and judge others harshly are the ones who truly have unresolved issues within themselves.
@@bdlimea7018 I don't think they are heroes, just a good reminder they are human and had struggles as well. Not all of them come from wealth and had everything handed to them. We all like to put on our best face and appear put together, but underneath the facade is when you really get to know someone. It's incredibly hard to come out with all you've been through, when you know how cruel people can be. It's much easier to not talk about it and continue putting on a front, but when you open up for the world to see, is truly a sign of undeniable strength. Who wouldn't write a book to make money? Being open and healing while making money from sharing those struggles is a win win to me. Most celebs all write books at one time or another.
She took poppers while her children were in the same house!!!! And you think she is inspiring? What the hell does that do to a child? Couldn 't she have thought about that instead of pleasing some young guy who was just as clueless about responsibily as she was?
@@normadesmond6017 she is a generous soul and we all make mistakes in life. It's important to be compassionate and understanding in life this is the beginning of wisdom.
Demi is an amazing woman with incredible honesty and strength! My family has been plagued by alcoholism and addiction. God bless all who suffer through and make it to the other side.
I've always loved her and now I love her even more. I am always rooting for people to find their way through a dark time in their life and find their true worth. I am patiently awaiting to see more great movies with her in the starring role. She's definitely got the talent for an awesome comeback! You go girl!
Diane Sawyer is such a wonderful interviewer. She puts an interviewee at ease and sh has such respect for their feelings, as she lets them take he time they need to respone. She never becomes impatient and never tries to rush them.
She will find love again. She’s 50-ish, fearless and free. The self-awareness and self-wisdom she is gaining/has gained will be her salvation. All the best to her.
I’m almost at a loss for words except for the fact that this was such a touching interview and truly inspiring. I look at her so differently now and I’m almost ashamed to say that. We so often think that those who are celebrities with fame and fortune live the ideal life. They have it all. They have nothing to complain about. How wrong we are. Demi Moore, as I’m sure so many others, have lived a hard life and just when you would think they have every reason not to get out of their heads and fail in life, they use that pain to move on and make a difference. I’ve never been one to read an autobiography but this one will be the first. How brave for her to have exposed herself in such away in hopes she can help others find themselves. Just a truly beautiful and genuine woman❤️❤️❤️.
@@46foryounger You're absolutely right. I think too many empaths are on here softening up yet again for a narc parent to shit all over them once more. But Demi is correct that we all possess the power to change. And so in that sense, you really do have no idea who they are NOW. There are ex-cons who are not the same person they were going in. We have to hold the highest vision for each soul inhabiting this planet.
It proves the old adage, be kind everyone is fighting a battle today. The size of theirs is not to be compared with yours. Never make up your mind about someone.
I felt the same way after watching her and two of her daughter's on Jada Pinkett-Smith's show. I was surprised. I liked the daughters' more than her though tbh.
I 'read' the book first - becasue the audio version was on sale on Kindle. How she describes her battle with addiction and her feelings at the breakdown of her second marriage is a real testament of the human condition. I dunno, maybe because I am just getting into my 40's as a woman some of her truths felt like affirmations for me. Take what is useful and discard what is not.
After seeing this interview, my thoughts about #DemiMoore have changed for the better. She is a very strong woman, who needs to stay away from Hollywierd. You go girl.
"I used to question: why me? And maybe I'm not the most talented, or the most intelligent, or the most beautiful, but it doesn't matter" Even though this thought was interrupted, all I have to say is YES! I struggle with this (in relation to so many things). We have to believe in ourselves to accomplish even the smallest things, and to do that we must throw away the idea that we have to be "the best"! It couldn't matter less, because you will never be able to control other's opinions.
Its all scripted, there is no real journalism here. Demi has been irrelevant for 2 decades and now she is showing up to tell us how miserable she was....and they gave Diane the story. Just a washed up actress trying to reclaim a little glory. That is all
When a book comes out you *know* a celeb is a has been. Active celebs don't have the time to write a book. They pay a percentage to have their book promoted
She is a hero and for everything she went through she looks remarkable, wow she is nearly 60 years old and intact. Her story her heart shared to us all is not only a blessing but i wouldn't be surprised if it reaches out to others where it is life saving. I wish more people in this world was like that, this world is in dire need of that.
It's apparent that for most of her life, Demi has prized her privacy. She's not one to reveal her struggles or mistakes. Which makes this book & her interviews all the more incredible--she's revealing what she actually experienced all those years she pasted on a beautiful smile & hid her fears & struggles. I really admire that, because it's obvious that part of what motivates her is healing, & part of what motivates her is helping others going thru similar hard times.
I just got done listening to her book. She narrates it and I’m so glad I listened instead of just reading it. It’s a brilliant Memoir of how fame and money do not fix the pain you have inside. I have had a hard relationship with my mom too. I could relate to her on many of the struggles she’s had. I knew she was a gutsy brave woman and this bio certified that!
I have forgiven my mom for leaving me when I was 13 years old and coming back when I was 15 and was always trying to get rid of me. Know she has Alzheimer's and I take care of her. And I do an excellent job at it. I'm proud of me and I fill happy for making that decision.
I loved my parents dearly & was by their bedside 1 day before each passed, although my father lived another 33 years after mom died. I never had any children, who will be there for me (besides our Lord & Savior)? I've often wondered that, now maybe I know.
This is a wonderful family. People need to show compassion for others, especially for those who have been thru the trenches and come out better for it. I really love Demi, Bruce, their kiddos. They deserve all the love and joy in the world.
The bit about her saying she decided who her mom was ... really powerful and frankly I was never a big fan of Demi but I’m happy she had clarity about her mom and it seems like forgiveness? Or grace toward her?
Demi spoke about having compassion for her mom which she hopes her own daughters will give her. She was present when her mom was sick. It indicates that she had forgiven her mom before she died.
I just finished the audiobook (Demi reads it) today. One of the most moving, teaching, real and insightful books I have read in a very long time. I will buy it and give it as gifts so others can learn from her vulnerability, openness, and wisdom. I deeply thank you, Demi, for letting me see your soul. You are beautiful and you absolutely BELONG here. I wish I knew you personally but I can say that I have learned valuable lessons from your raw honesty and sincerity. Love to you, you always deserve it.
You do know a doctor constructed her right? She even had her knees done. Don't get me wrong, she definitely doesn't look like a 60yr old hollywood cat like most hollywood stars.
I love her story, her honesty, acceptance of her choices and mistakes and embracing that these moments are not life killing, but rather life changing to help be better , stronger, complete. Beautifully flawed, a beautiful person.
So wise and so beautiful....I have always loved Demi and now I love her even more. When she talks about how one trauma isn't isolated, but a menagerie of trauma trailing back through her childhood....I get it. Wonderful interview!!
Like Zorba the Greek said “Life is hard. Death is not.” Demi is a survivor. As an abused child you have two choices. Back down and hide or stand up and go forward. I admire her strength and her honesty. I have enjoyed every one of her movies. And I love her long beautiful hair. The best to you Demi.
Brilliant interview, thank you Diane. Wishing Demi continued healing on her journey and so much success with her book. Her message really resonated with me.
That brought me to tears. Reading her book now. We need to ALL stop judging one another and the strength she has in her is AMAZING. To find forgiveness in her ❤️ and be there for her mother towards the end just goes to show how POWERFUL forgiveness is 😥
I will always love Demi Moore... she’s human and we all go through life differently. The unfortunate part is that she had to deal with the public knowing her situation. Overall, she triumphed through her life obstacles and became the strong woman she is today. Lots of Aloha always from Hawai’i🤍🙏🏼
When you decide who someone is...your basically closing the door to any positive changes attempted,or successfully made by that individual. Redemption and reedemability. This gut punched me.Demi spitting Confucius here. Hearing and applying this could do some wonders for my personal situation.Thank you Ms.Moore
No we should not. I think what she means is that when time passes, some people become a different person. They are not longer exactly who they were 20 years ago. When Demi was young her mother was neglectful. Then, I am assuming, that when her mother had Cancer, she was no longer the same person. I have Breast Cancer, and I can tell you that I am not the same person I was before the Cancer. But, at all cost, we should stay away from Toxic people. Especially if we have given them plenty of opportunities to change, and they keep coming back to hurt us yet again.
I’ve never liked that saying at all. Imagine behaving in a way you regard as reprehensible and once you actually realize how your actions could have hurt someone you make amends to never be that person again, but you’re human so you absolutely will fail again and again. But your attempts at redemption are waved away because you showed your “true colors”. No, you showed a color we all have, some just haven’t seen it in themselves yet. All that says is to someone is “you are the result of your worst mistake (s) and there’s nothing you can do to be better. Societies who don’t forgive become societies that fail at being human. Alsoa bunch of death and murder happens at the extremes. We must respect the beauty within everyone and judge accordingly to their actions and motives. In my book, if someone wrongs me, I recognize that I’m no saint, neither are they, but if they are genuine, honest about their mistakes, and work to be a better human, I wipe the slate clean and hope they would do the same for me. We need this kind of thought in our society, the internet has made us the ultimate judge of the mask people wear, so much to the point that we all wear masks and pretend we don’t. I love humanity and I love that we can be redeemed and I wish more people saw the world that way:)
Stay away from toxic people unless they have proved to you that they have changed.This is only if you want to take that risk.You can forgive a person without bringing them back into your life.
If those people who are toxic are aware of those behaviors & try to work on themselves, people should give them space & allow them to do so. So many people want to keep those people stuck where they once we're. People grow & learn.
Really this interview got me in tear, she’s telling a very powerful story through this interview, I’m very interested in reading her book, I’m glad she’s in a better and ready to tell her story.
Just when I have given up on Hollywood being anything but low life self righteous actors Demi has brought hope, compassion, dignity, respect and self confidence back to an inhuman world . Thank you Demi we all needed you to tell us your story so we could face our own struggles and triumph as well. Much love and respect.
I never watch celebrity interviews. I got tired of all the same bs. But this showed up in my feed and it was short enough so I clicked on it. I'm so glad I did. Demi is a very enlightened, honest, self reflective human and I admire the work she's done on herself. She speaks with humility and clarity and that is such a rare, beautiful thing in this narcissistic, performative world. Be happy, Demi! You earned it.
I started reading her book today, and will honestly say that I am having a hard time putting it down. So many memoirs are so boring, but Demi's memoir draws you in from the very start of the book. The book is not only powerful and has its moments where her recollections grab you by the heart, but it is also empowering for those who don't realize how their upbringings can manifest themselves in personal relationships. I look forward to reading the rest. I highly recommend everyone read this book. It's that good!
This woman is progressive and strong. Demi Moore has become an adult. Such an incredibly strong woman. We need more just like her and they're all over the place. 🎱
Demi's interview truly touched my heart. She's a true artist & inspiration. Really grateful that she opened so much about her struggles because I can relate. She puts a different perspective on things. I am thankful to learn how she overcame her struggles. Her sage advice really helps alot of people. Inspires everyone to be strong & courageous & that you can hold your head up high after dealing w/ so much.
Incredible. Love her more than ever. Thank you for your candidness and honesty. We are all just trying to live tis life and love. She's doing a great job - it doesn't matter who we are, we are never immune from the challenges in life.
Dang, I feel like the house of Moore-Willis is a beloved family. I think Demi is even more beautiful than in St.Elmos fire. Great to see her in some new movies.
I love and appreciate her willingness to share her story for those of us that can relate!! Her story IS so many of our stories. Thank you Demi ❤️ I haven’t read the book yet, but I don’t get the vibe there is going to be blame and shame in there, which I admire. You can’t heal with blame in your heart. It’s best to stay on our side of the street and share our love, strength and hope. And I feel like she did that beautifully.
Some of the most powerful, life-changing, thought provoking, & inspiring, words I've ever heard.. "When you decide who someone is, You take away the opportunity for them to be anything else"... Demi Moore these words will change my life forever! God bless you & your family! You've definitely started change in me!!
Hi Ms. Moore, I am 55 yrs old and just wanted to tell you that I am your biggest fan! I have been there and back as well many times. I think you are the bravest person by writing this book. I could actually write a book myself about what I have been through, but I'm not as famous as you are so it would probably be a waste of time. ha ha. I have been reading your book and there are times where i can totally relate as to how you felt when things where, "bad". like I said i have been there as well. Thank you so much for putting it all on the line your book has really helped me alot.
Generation X it’s really something to see someone as great as Demi Moore become vulnerable yet strong in speaking her truth in her own voice about both good and bad experiences. She sounds like a very humble and intelligent woman with a lot of wisdom. I’m happy that you felt heard too 🖤
Demi seems so soft spoked and sweet she seems in a good place which is great! Her oldest daughter look just her!! the other two look like Bruce and her. Her children are the most meaningful ppl she needs around her!!
5:00 - In understanding me, they can love themselves. 5:10 - Her mother who was finally diagnosed as Bipolar. 5:40 - "When you decide who someone is, you take away the opportunity for them to be anything else" ... If I can't have compassion in my heart for her, how can I expect my children to have that for me. 7:05 - "The time to make up your mind on someone is NEVER"
When you decide who someone is, you take away the opportunity for them to be anything else. Wow. That hit me hard
Michael Neill SAME!
I made a mental note.
@@LaPlaztique ME TOO
Same! Such words of wisdom. I have done that to people in the past. I need to give people more grace and forgiveness.
Me too
Plaztique yep
It’s like self fulfilling prophecy

Just a truly beautiful and genuine woman❤️❤️❤️.
THese people choose this life and sell themselves out for it. Then they become junkies. Glad she is gone and I hope she stays away.
She's from a trailer park and it still shows
@@SUGAR_XYLER how does it show?
@@wilsmith6551 you can take the girl out the trailer park, but you cannot take the trailer park out the girl.
I agree Susanrera, and shame on The youngin Ashton; who wants folks to sign a form to get his side... SMH. Bravo Demi
“When you decide who someone is, you take away the opportunity to get to know who they are now” omg
That’s a nice sentiment but the reality is that sometimes people will never change they rarely do.
@@46foryounger You're absolutely right. I think too many empaths are on here softening up yet again for a narc parent to shit all over them once more. But Demi is correct that we all possess the power to change. And so in that sense, you really do have no idea who they are NOW. There are ex-cons who are not the same person they were going in. We have to hold the highest vision for each soul inhabiting this planet.
Even if they never change. We, we have to forgive to be in peace with our self
I'm an empath, but what her mother let that man do to her when she was fifteen, Idk.
@@46foryounger I disagree with you. People change all the time . Only a few people don't change
It proves the old adage, be kind everyone is fighting a battle today. The size of theirs is not to be compared with yours. Never make up your mind about someone.
Agree.
Thank you...
Unless they are abusing you-- then the mind must be made up and they need to gtfo..
She seems happy. Genuinely. We’re rooting for you, Demi!
Well I certainly had zero interest in reading her book, until I saw these three part interviews. Now I want to go buy it.
then they did their job as it is all about selling--dont' buy the BS
You have 77 likes the hell with the two negative people
I felt the same way after watching her and two of her daughter's on Jada Pinkett-Smith's show. I was surprised. I liked the daughters' more than her though tbh.
I 'read' the book first - becasue the audio version was on sale on Kindle. How she describes her battle with addiction and her feelings at the breakdown of her second marriage is a real testament of the human condition. I dunno, maybe because I am just getting into my 40's as a woman some of her truths felt like affirmations for me. Take what is useful and discard what is not.
After seeing this interview, my thoughts about #DemiMoore have changed for the better. She is a very strong woman, who needs to stay away from Hollywierd. You go girl.
Having 7 dogs proves she has a beautiful soul .
I wouldn't walk around that house barefoot, though! LOL!
Proves she is lonely
Those dogs all acted pretty drunk to me
True that!
I have a beautiful soul and I am not a dog lover.
"I used to question: why me? And maybe I'm not the most talented, or the most intelligent, or the most beautiful, but it doesn't matter" Even though this thought was interrupted, all I have to say is YES! I struggle with this (in relation to so many things). We have to believe in ourselves to accomplish even the smallest things, and to do that we must throw away the idea that we have to be "the best"! It couldn't matter less, because you will never be able to control other's opinions.
wise words! couldn't agree more
Jesus Diane Sawyer is just going to be gorgeous forever
She committed herself to staying away from drugs after interviewing Whitney.
@@reformer6666
She never did drugs.
Beautiful inside and out!
@@flibgonrtsheglis242 Never said she did.
@@reformer6666 Why are you even bringing Whitney Houston into this?
She’s beautiful, inside and out.
Diane Sawyer is simply incredible at doing an interview with anyone. They always open up to her😍
I agree
Its all scripted, there is no real journalism here. Demi has been irrelevant for 2 decades and now she is showing up to tell us how miserable she was....and they gave Diane the story. Just a washed up actress trying to reclaim a little glory. That is all
When a book comes out you *know* a celeb is a has been. Active celebs don't have the time to write a book. They pay a percentage to have their book promoted
It's all those long ass pauses she does during the interviews 😂
@@SUGAR_XYLER Love this reply....and they all have this story of how much they have suffered!!!
Much respect to Demi and Bruce and their daughters. God bless her for getting away from that Ashton. And God bless her for forgiving her mother.
She is a hero and for everything she went through she looks remarkable, wow she is nearly 60 years old and intact. Her story her heart shared to us all is not only a blessing but i wouldn't be surprised if it reaches out to others where it is life saving. I wish more people in this world was like that, this world is in dire need of that.
"I decided who they were, and when you decide who someone is you take away the opportunity for them to be anything else"
That quote hit me hard.
That powerful statement hit me too
So hard.
It's apparent that for most of her life, Demi has prized her privacy. She's not one to reveal her struggles or mistakes. Which makes this book & her interviews all the more incredible--she's revealing what she actually experienced all those years she pasted on a beautiful smile & hid her fears & struggles. I really admire that, because it's obvious that part of what motivates her is healing, & part of what motivates her is helping others going thru similar hard times.
No she’s very very pubic and thrives on it!!!!!
I just got done listening to her book. She narrates it and I’m so glad I listened instead of just reading it. It’s a brilliant Memoir of how fame and money do not fix the pain you have inside. I have had a hard relationship with my mom too. I could relate to her on many of the struggles she’s had. I knew she was a gutsy brave woman and this bio certified that!
1:37 I see Bruce's face on all three of them.
LMAO, *Those names*
Its definitely a good thing those two aren't procreating anylonger.
@@DeplorableArab
It's people like you that should never procreate!
@@charlotteziggy8353 At least be clever enough to make up your own insults, rather than stealing mine...
Yeah big yikes on the genes in that family lmao
I have forgiven my mom for leaving me when I was 13 years old and coming back when I was 15 and was always trying to get rid of me. Know she has Alzheimer's and I take care of her. And I do an excellent job at it. I'm proud of me and I fill happy for making that decision.
Amazing is your forgiveness! :)
Good for you. I'm happy for you too!
AWE...GOOD FOR YOU....YOU SHOULD BE PROUD OF YOURSELF....ACTUALLY BY DOING FOR YOUR MOM... It.....WILL SET YOU FREE...
Your compassion is very admirable - not many could push past that pain to show the love you are.
.
So true. How you treat your parents is how your children will one day treat you.
It's how you treat your kids. Your kids will treat their kids the same way.
Unfortunately not always true, the first original comment.
I loved my parents dearly & was by their bedside 1 day before each passed, although my father lived another 33 years after mom died. I never had any children, who will be there for me (besides our Lord & Savior)? I've often wondered that, now maybe I know.
Not always true. I had to cut my mom out of my life because she's psychologically abusive. My son won't do that to me.
Kara, we must have the same mom *Another reason I never had kids*
This is a wonderful family. People need to show compassion for others, especially for those who have been thru the trenches and come out better for it. I really love Demi, Bruce, their kiddos. They deserve all the love and joy in the world.
The bit about her saying she decided who her mom was ... really powerful and frankly I was never a big fan of Demi but I’m happy she had clarity about her mom and it seems like forgiveness? Or grace toward her?
Demi spoke about having compassion for her mom which she hopes her own daughters will give her. She was present when her mom was sick. It indicates that she had forgiven her mom before she died.
I just finished the audiobook (Demi reads it) today. One of the most moving, teaching, real and insightful books I have read in a very long time. I will buy it and give it as gifts so others can learn from her vulnerability, openness, and wisdom. I deeply thank you, Demi, for letting me see your soul. You are beautiful and you absolutely BELONG here. I wish I knew you personally but I can say that I have learned valuable lessons from your raw honesty and sincerity. Love to you, you always deserve it.
Admire her survivor and gutsy character!! Was not a fan of her but I am certainly an admirer of her tenacity as a woman!! Hats off to her!!!👏👏👏👍👍👍
I do love how close her and her girls are. And she does come across as humble and kind. Very rare in Hollyweird.
She looks really good. 57 looks great on her.
Wow,what do you expect. Silicon city, and don't try denying it anyone!!!!!!!!!!!
You do know a doctor constructed her right?
She even had her knees done.
Don't get me wrong, she definitely doesn't look like a 60yr old hollywood cat like most hollywood stars.
K.Snow yeah with plastic surgeons 😂😂
I don't care how she did it, she looks good.
@@KComedyCritiques right!! I was just gonna say that!!
Demi Moore, you just won my vote my favor, my respect with that statement.. " It doesn't matter!"
Kudos DM 💖
✌💖
I have so much respect for her, just for being so open. So much of what she said hit a nerve with me. I’ve gotta read this book. Way to go Demi!
I love her story, her honesty, acceptance of her choices and mistakes and embracing that these moments are not life killing, but rather life changing to help be better , stronger, complete. Beautifully flawed, a beautiful person.
So wise and so beautiful....I have always loved Demi and now I love her even more. When she talks about how one trauma isn't isolated, but a menagerie of trauma trailing back through her childhood....I get it. Wonderful interview!!
How could she ever question if she's loved. We all love her.
Um... I don't think our love is what she's talking about.
Like Zorba the Greek said “Life is hard. Death is not.” Demi is a survivor. As an abused child you have two choices. Back down and hide or stand up and go forward. I admire her strength and her honesty. I have enjoyed every one of her movies. And I love her long beautiful hair. The best to you Demi.
Brilliant interview, thank you Diane. Wishing Demi continued healing on her journey and so much success with her book. Her message really resonated with me.
That brought me to tears. Reading her book now. We need to ALL stop judging one another and the strength she has in her is AMAZING. To find forgiveness in her ❤️ and be there for her mother towards the end just goes to show how POWERFUL forgiveness is 😥
I will always love Demi Moore... she’s human and we all go through life differently. The unfortunate part is that she had to deal with the public knowing her situation. Overall, she triumphed through her life obstacles and became the strong woman she is today. Lots of Aloha always from Hawai’i🤍🙏🏼
🇺🇸 🙋❣️Quote: Someone your own size. (Wow!) Demi seems very Happy & Humble in her life. Her eyes tell it ALL. Great interview that Diana did. 💞👏👏👏
It was a beautiful interview ... made me cry, "if we decide about someone ..."
When you decide who someone is...your basically closing the door to any positive changes attempted,or successfully made by that individual. Redemption and reedemability. This gut punched me.Demi spitting Confucius here. Hearing and applying this could do some wonders for my personal situation.Thank you Ms.Moore
But what about “when someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time”. Do we keep letting people in our lives who have hurt us?
No we should not. I think what she means is that when time passes, some people become a different person. They are not longer exactly who they were 20 years ago. When Demi was young her mother was neglectful. Then, I am assuming, that when her mother had Cancer, she was no longer the same person. I have Breast Cancer, and I can tell you that I am not the same person I was before the Cancer. But, at all cost, we should stay away from Toxic people. Especially if we have given them plenty of opportunities to change, and they keep coming back to hurt us yet again.
I’ve never liked that saying at all. Imagine behaving in a way you regard as reprehensible and once you actually realize how your actions could have hurt someone you make amends to never be that person again, but you’re human so you absolutely will fail again and again. But your attempts at redemption are waved away because you showed your “true colors”. No, you showed a color we all have, some just haven’t seen it in themselves yet. All that says is to someone is “you are the result of your worst mistake (s) and there’s nothing you can do to be better. Societies who don’t forgive become societies that fail at being human. Alsoa bunch of death and murder happens at the extremes. We must respect the beauty within everyone and judge accordingly to their actions and motives. In my book, if someone wrongs me, I recognize that I’m no saint, neither are they, but if they are genuine, honest about their mistakes, and work to be a better human, I wipe the slate clean and hope they would do the same for me. We need this kind of thought in our society, the internet has made us the ultimate judge of the mask people wear, so much to the point that we all wear masks and pretend we don’t. I love humanity and I love that we can be redeemed and I wish more people saw the world that way:)
Stay away from toxic people unless they have proved to you that they have changed.This is only if you want to take that risk.You can forgive a person without bringing them back into your life.
That one was said by a genius woman -Maya Angelou, Demi's quote was said by who?
If those people who are toxic are aware of those behaviors & try to work on themselves, people should give them space & allow them to do so. So many people want to keep those people stuck where they once we're. People grow & learn.
WOW! So many emotions flowing through this interview. I’m so inspired. I wish her the best and her family.
Really this interview got me in tear, she’s telling a very powerful story through this interview, I’m very interested in reading her book, I’m glad she’s in a better and ready to tell her story.
Just when I have given up on Hollywood being anything but low life self righteous actors Demi has brought hope, compassion, dignity, respect and self confidence back to an inhuman world . Thank you Demi we all needed you to tell us your story so we could face our own struggles and triumph as well. Much love and respect.
somehow I feel like I am healing listening to her
She's an actress
how she explained having compassion for her Mother touched me … wow . wise words.
I never watch celebrity interviews. I got tired of all the same bs. But this showed up in my feed and it was short enough so I clicked on it. I'm so glad I did. Demi is a very enlightened, honest, self reflective human and I admire the work she's done on herself. She speaks with humility and clarity and that is such a rare, beautiful thing in this narcissistic, performative world. Be happy, Demi! You earned it.
“The time to make up your mind about someone is never...”
I started reading her book today, and will honestly say that I am having a hard time putting it down. So many memoirs are so boring, but Demi's memoir draws you in from the very start of the book. The book is not only powerful and has its moments where her recollections grab you by the heart, but it is also empowering for those who don't realize how their upbringings can manifest themselves in personal relationships. I look forward to reading the rest. I highly recommend everyone read this book. It's that good!
This woman is progressive and strong. Demi Moore has become an adult. Such an incredibly strong woman. We need more just like her and they're all over the place. 🎱
Love Demi she is so real and I could almost feel her pain.she pulled at my heartstrings. Good luck Demi
I think Demi's daughters could write interesting books about their childhoods too.
What a book that would be. Maybe in 20 years ;)
@what what: You can always stop being a malignant narc if you choose to...
Demi's interview truly touched my heart. She's a true artist & inspiration. Really grateful that she opened so much about her struggles because I can relate. She puts a different perspective on things. I am thankful to learn how she overcame her struggles. Her sage advice really helps alot of people. Inspires everyone to be strong & courageous & that you can hold your head up high after dealing w/ so much.
Beautiful woman! I've always admired her. God bless her! We all go through hard times in different ways 😔
She's so strong. Great interview. I hope she stays happy and healthy throughout the rest of her life.
I had goosebumps watching this interview. What a beautiful soul. Wishing Demi the best!
Incredible. Love her more than ever. Thank you for your candidness and honesty. We are all just trying to live tis life and love. She's doing a great job - it doesn't matter who we are, we are never immune from the challenges in life.
Dang, I feel like the house of Moore-Willis is a beloved family. I think Demi is even more beautiful than in St.Elmos fire. Great to see her in some new movies.
That moment she had with Rumer on screen made me cry. That was beautiful. ❤
I love and appreciate her willingness to share her story for those of us that can relate!! Her story IS so many of our stories. Thank you Demi ❤️ I haven’t read the book yet, but I don’t get the vibe there is going to be blame and shame in there, which I admire. You can’t heal with blame in your heart. It’s best to stay on our side of the street and share our love, strength and hope. And I feel like she did that beautifully.
Some of the most powerful, life-changing, thought provoking, & inspiring, words I've ever heard.. "When you decide who someone is, You take away the opportunity for them to be anything else"... Demi Moore these words will change my life forever! God bless you & your family! You've definitely started change in me!!
Powerful interview - how i admire Demi Moore for the strength she has shown here to tell her story. : )
Really sad story. Hope she's doing well today and I wish her all the happiness and luck
Beautiful daughters just like her, I pray that God will help her through, I wish she would have stay with Bruce :)
They obviously want nothing to do with God.
Hi Ms. Moore, I am 55 yrs old and just wanted to tell you that I am your biggest fan! I have been there and back as well many times. I think you are the bravest person by writing this book. I could actually write a book myself about what I have been through, but I'm not as famous as you are so it would probably be a waste of time. ha ha. I have been reading your book and there are times where i can totally relate as to how you felt when things where, "bad". like I said i have been there as well. Thank you so much for putting it all on the line your book has really helped me alot.
I love Diane Swayer’s hair! Looks fabulous!
That was powerful. Glad, I saw this series of interviews. (:
That brought tears in my eyes
What a beautiful interview. It made me cry! So open! So honest! So wise! Thank you, Demi!!
Remarkable, Demi. You spoke my truth through your own and I’m so happy for you 💜
+Strange Vampire Princess
Yes. She spoke my truth as well.
So grateful for this Diane Sawyer + Demi Moore interview 💥🌟❣
Generation X it’s really something to see someone as great as Demi Moore become vulnerable yet strong in speaking her truth in her own voice about both good and bad experiences. She sounds like a very humble and intelligent woman with a lot of wisdom. I’m happy that you felt heard too 🖤
I really appreciated the honesty of Demi Moore. The interviews showed her brilliance !
Diane Sawyer is such a graceful person.
Demi Moore’s story is quite similar to mine ... mine has not turned around yet. I will definitely read the book
Demi seems so soft spoked and sweet she seems in a good place which is great! Her oldest daughter look just her!! the other two look like Bruce and her. Her children are the most meaningful ppl she needs around her!!
5:00 - In understanding me, they can love themselves.
5:10 - Her mother who was finally diagnosed as Bipolar.
5:40 - "When you decide who someone is, you take away the opportunity for them to be anything else" ... If I can't have compassion in my heart for her, how can I expect my children to have that for me.
7:05 - "The time to make up your mind on someone is NEVER"
I love her so much so much power in spite of so much tragedy has gone on in her life she is someone that will Triumph and come back up
Gosh, she is just so beautiful. Inside and out. 💕🙏✨🌱
