Bruce Willis’ wife has shared an update on her husband’s disease after seeing heartbreaking rumours emerge about the actor.
Emma Hemming Willis has hit out at reports over her husband’s health after claims emerged that the actor has “no joy” left in his life due to his crippling disease.
In a video posted to Instagram, Hemming Willis defended her husband and told people to “pack it up” making up false claims about their marriage and his health.
“It’s Sunday morning and I’m triggered. I just got clickbaited,” Heming Willis, 45, began in a an Instagram video.
“I’m just scrolling, minding my own business and just saw a headline and got clickbaited that had to do with my own family. The headline basically says there is no more joy in my husband. Now, I can just tell you, that is far from the truth.”
Heming Willis went on to call out the headline for “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. Nothing else to see here. We’re done.’ No. It is the complete opposite of that.”
“It’s filled with love, it’s filled with connection, it’s filled with joy, it’s filled with happiness,” she stated. “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, OK?”
Willis’ family announced in March 2022 that he was stepping away from acting after first being diagnosed with aphasia, which the Mayo Clinic defines as a brain disorder that impacts speech and language comprehension. A year later, they announced that his aphasia had devolved into frontotemporal dementia.
“While this is painful, it is a relief to finally have a clear diagnosis,” they said in a statement on the Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration website.
“FTD is a cruel disease that many of us have never heard of and can strike anyone. 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.”
Heming-Willis has said that it is “hard to know” whether Willis is aware of his condition.
