Demi Moore reveals pain of losing baby in new memoir
DEMI Moore lost a baby six months into her pregnancy.
The 56-year-old actress – who has daughters Rumer, 31, Scout, 28, and Tallulah, 25, with ex-husband Bruce Willis – was expecting a baby girl with her then-partner Ashton Kutcher and the couple planned to call the tot Chaplin Ray, but she suffered a late miscarriage.
According to the New York Times newspaper, which revealed Moore wrote about the tragedy in her new memoir Inside Out, the Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle star blamed herself and began drinking again.
Moore and Kutcher married in 2005 and pursued fertility treatments in a bid to have a child together but were unsuccessful, they split in 2011. Moore continued drinking and began abusing Vicodin.
She then hit a low patch, with her partying causing a rift with her daughters. She recalled: “Part of my life was clearly unravelling. “I had no career. No relationship.”
And she then began suffering digestive and autoimmune problems, with even watching TV and reading becoming difficult.
She said: “Something was going on, including my organs slowly shutting down... The root was a major heavy viral load.”
Moore – who is now sober and back on good terms with her children – dismissed suggestions she’s penned her life story.
Her friend Gwyneth Paltrow believes the memoir has been vital for her pal to get back on track.
Paltrow added: “We think we just have to get through everything and bear the burden for everyone in our family.”
