Bruce Willis’ Daughter Fires Back After Critics Slam Her For Posting ‘Vulnerable’ Photos Of Dad

Tallulah Willis fired back after fans criticized her decision to post photos of her father, retired actor Bruce Willis, as he battles frontotemporal dementia (FTD).

Tallulah, the youngest of the three daughters the “Die Hard” actor shares with actress ex-wife Demi Moore, shared a series of photos via Instagram — several of which included her father — as they shared a “Sunday Funday” with family.

Responding to Willis’ photos — which she captioned, “Sunday funday at Grams ! Grateful” — one fan suggested that perhaps she should not share photos of her father as he continues to struggle with his health.

“I don’t think you should expose your dad to the public! He is vulnerable! And some things should be kept private! You don’t have his permission to post it!” the comment read.

“Hi. I hear that. As a family we use our discretion when posting. Today was a great day filled with smiles,” Tallulah responded to the comment directly. “I made the judgment call to show that to the world, because I know what he means to everyone.”

The majority of the comments were positive, however, and many shared personal stories of their own loved ones who had suffered from dementia or other similar conditions. Most defended Willis in her decision to celebrate and share the good moments whenever they came, saying that it was clear from the photos that he was surrounded by family and well-loved.

The beloved action star left Hollywood abruptly in 2022, publicly sharing a diagnosis of aphasia. Several months later, his family revealed that he’ been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia.

“FTD is a cruel disease that many of us have never heard of and can strike anyone,” the family’s statement read. “For people under 60, FTD is the most common form of dementia, and because getting the diagnosis can take years, FTD is likely much more prevalent than we know. Today there are no treatments for the disease, a reality that we hope can change in the years ahead. As Bruce’s condition advances, we hope that any media attention can be focused on shining a light on this disease that needs far more awareness and research.”
