Bruce Willis’s family facing tragic new health battle as daughter struggles
Indeed, much has been said about the love and support Bruce’s family have given him in his darkest hour, but new reports pain a worrying picture regarding the mental health of the star’s daughter, Tallulah.
According to Radar Online, the Willis clan are growing increasingly concerned about the mental health of Tallulah Willis as her father’s condition continues to worsen.
Last March, Willis announced his retirement from acting after he was formally diagnosed with aphasia. Among other things, the condition reportedly impaired his ability to communicate, making it increasingly difficult for him to work on set.
As per Radar Online, Bruce’s daughter, Tallulah, whom he shares with actress Demi Moore, admitted to suffering a bout of anorexia after she was dumped by her fiancè Dillon Buss not even three months after her father’s aphasia diagnosis.
Since then there’s not been much said for Tallulah’s condition, though it’s now being claimed that Bruce himself was aware of his daughter’s suffering.
“Bruce could see her wasting away and it only made his own problems worse,” said a source, as per Radar.
“Bruce was shattered when he saw Tallulah’s suffering,” the insider went on.
“It got to the point where the family thought it would be better if they weren’t around each other at all.”
Tallulah herself revealed that she had checked into an in-patient facility after her separation from Dillon. There, she was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder.
In a candid recent essay for Vogue, Tallulah opened up to the public on how her struggles with body dysmorphia began when she started taking medication for ADHD.
“I felt smart for the first time,” Tallulah said of taking her medication, “but I also started to enjoy the appetite-suppressant side effect of the meds. I saw a way to banish the awkward adolescent in favor of a flighty little pixie. And like so many people with eating disorders, my sense of myself went haywire.”
“There’s an unhealthy deliciousness at the beginning of losing weight rapidly. People are like, ‘Oh wow!’ And then quickly it turns to, ‘Are you okay?’ My friends and family were terrified, and I dismissed it.”
The 29-year-old added: “By the spring of 2022, I weighed about 84 lbs. I was always freezing. I was calling mobile IV teams to come to my house, and I couldn’t walk in my Los Angeles neighborhood because I was afraid of not having a place to sit down and catch my breath.”
