It’s been a year since Bruce Willis‘ family announced the heartbreaking news that the legendary actor was suffering from a condition called frontotemporal dementia, a neurocognitive disease, which impairs the patient’s communication skills, among other things. As devastating as this is, Bruce has an incredibly strong support system, including his children, his wife, Emma Heming, and the mother of her children, actress Demi Moore.

To think that Emma Heming and Bruce Willis’ marriage hasn’t changed since the actor’s dementia diagnosis would be naive, but Emma is frankly tired of the way this new chapter in their lives is being portrayed.
Recently, in a video, she set the record straight about what she called “clickbait” headlines that are misleading about the true state of their relationship.
“The headline basically says there is no more joy in my husband. Now, I can just tell you, that is far from the truth,” Emma Heming said in her video. It’s not just about the fact that she doesn’t want lies about their marriage to be spread, it’s also because she hates the fact that people reading those articles will get the wrong idea about the disease.
“I need society – and whoever’s writing these stupid headlines – to stop scaring people,” she continued. “Stop scaring people to think that once they get a diagnosis of some kind of neurocognitive disease that that’s it. ‘It’s over. Let’s pack it up. We’re — Nothing else to see here. We’re done.’ No.“

“There is grief and sadness. There’s all of that. But you start a new chapter,” Emma shared. Despite everything, she said that their new chapter is filled “with love, it’s filled with connection, it’s filled with joy, it’s filled with happiness.”
“My experience is that two things can be true and exist at the same time,” she went on. “Grief and deep love. Sadness and deep connection. Trauma and resilience.”

Bruce Willis made a fortune through acting, but it is not his only source of revenue. He has various other avenues to diversify his income stream.
Emma knows it’s a process to be able to reach this mindset, as a diagnosis like that can feel extremely defeating, but she’s grateful she can now see things differently. “I had to get out of my own way to get here but once I arrived, life really started to come together with meaning and I had a true sense of purpose. There is so much beauty and soulfulness in this story.”
“That’s where we are. So stop with these stupid headlines. These stupid clickbaity things that freak people out. Stop doing that. There’s nothing to see here, okay?”
