Emma Heming Willis is calling out a "clickbait headline" that described her husband, Bruce Willis, as having “no more joy,” saying that such a claim is "far from the truth" and to “stop scaring people.”
Emma Heming Willis is calling out a "clickbait headline" that described her husband, Bruce Willis, as having “no more joy,” saying that such a claim is "far from the truth" and to “stop scaring people.”
The famed "Die Hard" actor stepped away from acting in March 2022 after he was diagnosed with aphasia that impacted his cognitive abilities. His family announced in February 2023 that he had been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia.
Heming Willis said in a video on Instagram on Sunday that she was “triggered” after coming across a clickbait headline that “basically says there is no more joy in my husband.”
“I can just tell you, that is far from the truth,” she said. “A hundred percent, there is grief and sadness, there’s all of that. But you start a new chapter ... it’s filled with love, it’s filled with connection, it’s filled with joy, it’s filled with happiness.”
