Tallulah Willis addresses comments she's received about her weight
Tallulah Willis is opening up about the body-shaming messages she gets on social media.
The daughter of Demi Moore and Bruce Willis took to Instagram to address comments saying "You're fat!!!" and "You got fat again."
"I think it's important to share this, that this happens, that this happens to a healing person in recovery, who has been honest about how very sick she was/is and is working daily to find safety and home within her skin," she wrote in the caption of her post, which featured screenshots of those direct messages.
"It felt really important to show you this, that this happens. Im very thankful I've gotten to a place where I don't become dismantled by strangers words (for the most part 🙃)," she said.
"I love you and I like you - myself, buuskis included!" she added.
Tallulah Willis' family shared their support for her in the comments of the post.
"I am so proud of you!" Moore wrote. "People often can only reflect their own fear. Be you in all your forms and keep shining your gorgeous glorious light!"
Tallulah Willis' sister Scout LaRue Willis added, "I am so proud of you, and proud of the hard work you put in every day, and luckily for you, me and everyone who loves you, this person is but a mere footnote in your story, and unfortunately for them, they have to be themselves forever, and i wish them literally one IOTA of the grace, growth and self love you show every single day."
In another comment, Bruce Willis' wife Emma Heming Willis wrote, "I'm so sorry Tallulah. You've summoned the mama bears on here who would like to know who this person is."
Willis has opened up about her body image struggles in the past.
In 2021, she shared an Instagram post about her experience with body dysmorphic disorder and said, "I punished myself for not looking like my mom."
She opened up about things that have that have helped her when she is in a "BDD spiral," which include going for walks, listening to music and taking a break from social media.
Willis also urged others to "be mindful of the special and impressionable minds around you," including those with access to social media, as well as "potential triggering imagery or the indicators that hyper-focusing on ones appearance goes deeper than just wanting to feel good in their own skin."
"Do not feel ashamed," she added in her message at the time, addressing others experiencing body dysmorphic disorder. "This is not a 'stupid, vain issue' this is a genuine psychological pain and I see you so clearly and witness the validity in your struggle."
