The Bombora Publishing House has published Demi Moore's book Inside Out. My imperfect story. " The actress spoke frankly about her romances, difficult childhood, miscarriage and abuse of illegal substances, writes Lady.mail.ru.
Without a mother and without a father
Demi Moore was born on November 11, 1962 in the town of Roswell. Her family was complete, but far from prosperous. Demi and her younger brother Morgan were left on their own, while their parents, Ginny and Danny, were engaged in an endless showdown and, as it seemed to them, the preservation of the marriage. Danny constantly cheated on his wife, and she, in turn, tried with various antics to attract the attention of her husband so that he would end the affair.
Her childhood was not happy also because she and her family were constantly moving.
“My brother and I calculated that during our childhood we changed at least two schools a year, and usually more. And it seemed normal to me until I saw how other families live. When I heard stories that some of them had best friends in kindergarten, I couldn't imagine it, ”recalls Demi Moore.
The actress's mother, Ginny, tried several times to commit suicide, and little Demi witnessed these attempts. Once Moore even had to take out the pills from her mother's mouth, which she tried to swallow in an attempt to commit suicide. Subsequently, Demi will have to save her mother more than once.
Finally, when Moore was 15 years old, her parents decided to divorce and "share" the children: Demi stayed with her mother, and her brother Morgan began to live with his father.
Rape
Together with her mother, Demi moved to West Hollywood, where she began to work as a model and think about the career of an actress. In the meantime, her mother's behavior did not change, but only got worse: she still made attempts to commit suicide, she was not interested in the life of her own daughter, she constantly drank and brought strangers to the house.

When Demi started working as a model, adult men began to show attention to her. Ginny encouraged this attitude towards her daughter: she even allowed one of these fans to pick up Moore from school, and once gave him the keys to her own apartment.
“I felt trapped in my own home with a man three times my age and twice my age,” Demi Moore describes in her book how she was raped.
As the actress admits, because of this tragedy, it will then be difficult for her to build relationships with men, and mistrust and dislike for her mother will forever settle in her heart.
Drugs and alcohol
Due to problems with her mother and the psychological trauma she received as a teenager, Demi began to have problems with alcohol and drugs. And this happened at a time when her acting career was just beginning to gain momentum.
Alcohol and drug addiction also appeared because Demi had more money and a lot was now available.

Addictions ruined her first marriage with musician Freddie Moore: having left for Brazil to shoot the film "It's Rio's Blame," Demi became addicted to illegal substances and once, having gone too far with cocaine, cheated on her husband.
“The freedom that I felt thanks to drugs, together with my youth, audacity and carelessness pushed me to go beyond the usual,” the actress recalls about that incident.
Fortunately, a couple of years later, during the filming of St. Elmo's Lights, director Joel Schumacher threatened to fire Demi Moore if she did not undergo treatment in the rehab - the actress agreed and got rid of her addictions for a long time.
“I was only twenty-one years old, but I had been fighting alcoholism for three years already, and I had drug addiction for two years,” the film star recalls that period.
Bruce and Demi
Demi Moore was married three times. The happiest relationship, according to the actress, she had with her second husband - actor Bruce Willis. They met at one of the parties, and Willis immediately impressed Moore: after a painful relationship with her first spouse, who was cold with her throughout the marriage, romance with Bruce was the complete opposite.
“I've never been cared for like this before. He looked so vulnerable, and all his insolence disappeared somewhere, "- writes Demi, specifying that when they first met Bruce's hands were shaking, he liked Moore so much.
Despite the fact that Willis was very popular with women at the time, especially after the release of the series "Moonlight Detective Agency", with Demi, he wanted consistency.
“I think those who do not know Bruce personally find it difficult to imagine that behind his roguish appearance a vulnerable child is hiding,” the actress characterizes her ex-husband.
For four months of the novel, Demi and Bruce managed to meet, get married and conceive a child. Their relationship developed rapidly, so after a couple of years of marriage, Willis honestly admitted to Moore: he is not sure if he wants to be her husband any longer: “The pride and determination in me said that if for Bruce this is not what he wants, then let him leave. I need a husband whom I will not persuade him to be married to me or not. "

In the relationship of the star couple, a crisis came, which ended with the appearance of the second child. Demi tried to be a good mother, but she did not forget about her career. Willis, on the other hand, often reproached Moore that she was engaged in the acting profession, and not sitting at home. The emergence of a third daughter did not help the crisis in the relationship.
“Bruce and I were trapped. He felt kicked out the door because of my self-confidence, and it caused him pain that he could not accept and which fueled his ambiguous attitude towards our marriage, ”the actress writes in her memoir.
In 2000, one of the most beautiful Hollywood couples decided to break up. At the same time, it is important to know that after the divorce, Willis and Moore maintained excellent friendly relations, and during the spring self-isolation they even moved together again.
Relationship with Ashton Kutcher
Unlike his marriage to Bruce Willis, the relationship with Ashton Kutcher was not perfect: although Demi admits that the romance began magically. The couple was introduced by mutual friends, and Ashton immediately showed interest in the film star.
“He was twenty-five, I was forty. But I assure you: we did not feel this difference. We were on the same wavelength with him from the very first meeting, ”says Demi about that time.
Their romance did not develop as rapidly as it did with Bruce. This was what Demi liked. They thoroughly enjoyed interacting with each other - Moore writes that this time she didn't want to rush.
Meanwhile, the tabloids relished the details of the actress's personal life: “My agents said that this relationship was harmful to me; people focused on the fact that I was with a young man and therefore did not take me seriously. "
But Demi did not care about public condemnation: she loved Ashton and wanted to give birth to his child. Soon the actors got married and began planning a pregnancy. Moore was happy - she admits that now she felt happiness in a new way and enjoyed it.

At 42, Demi Moore became pregnant. But soon tragedy struck - at the sixth month, the heart of the unborn child stopped beating, and Demi lost him. In the future, she and Ashton tried several more times to conceive a child and even did the IVF procedure, but everything was useless. Because of what happened, Moore began to abuse various drugs, and Kutcher, instead of helping his wife, began to move away from her.
Then he invited Demi to try the love joys of the three.
“I wanted to save our marriage, and I was willing to do anything to achieve this. Therefore, she did not say no when he wanted to try, ”the actress recalls.
This act only further shook the relationship between the spouses: the boundaries of what was permissible were blurred, and Ashton began to cheat. This destroyed their marriage.
Excess weight and the fight against complexes
In her book, Demi Moore describes how for many years she could not accept her body and struggled with being overweight. So, for the picture "One Crazy Summer" the actress had to lose a couple of kilograms in order to appear on the screen in a swimsuit. According to Moore, this was a big problem for her - she did not know what to do to get her body in shape. Demi started having nutritional problems, the actress starved herself.
“The body could not stand it, I woke up from hunger in the middle of the night and overeat, and in the morning I found my bed in crumbs. At some point, I even put a lock on the refrigerator door. It was as if food became a weapon in the war against my body, its enemy, ”she writes.
Demi even began to use food as a kind of punishment for everything that she considered wrong and ugly in herself: she filled every bite with all the bad feelings, all her shame, and then swallowed it.

The actress has problems with the intestines and metabolism. For a long time she did not understand how to eat right, but then she realized: the best way to keep her body is to play sports. And Demi began to torture herself with training. She did not stop them even when she found out she was pregnant. During her second pregnancy, doctors forbade Moore to exercise because the baby was smaller in the womb. Demi had to obey.
But training did not stop after the birth of children. A week after pregnancy, and Moore returned to the gym, where she tortured herself with physical exercise. The actress stopped only after filming "Soldier Jane", where she gained a lot of muscle mass. Demi said that she was afraid that her husband, Bruce Willis, would not like her current figure, so she stopped training - something clicked in her head, and she decided not to torture herself in the gym anymore and to maintain her figure only with proper nutrition.
