Rumer Willis has revealed that she lost her virginity when she was 18 to an “older” man while appearing on Jada Pinket Smith’s Red Table Talk,
The 32-year-old actress recounted the time she lost her virginity, while chatting to the host, Jada Pinkett Smith, Willow Smith and Adrienne Banfield-Norrisas part of the Facebook Watch series.
“When I lost my virginity when I was 18, I was more concerned with the shame that I was feeling at not having done it,” she said. “I was not abused or it wasn’t rape, but I didn’t say yes. I wasn’t gung ho about it.
“But I also didn’t say no. I just let it happen.”

“He was older, and took advantage. But he didn’t check in,” she said. “That’s where I feel like the man’s responsibility is. No means no, but what if you can’t say no?”

It’s not the first time the daughter of Demi Moore and Bruce Willis has appeared on Red Table Talk.
She previously went on in November 2019 with her mother and sister Tallulah Willis, 26, discussing Demi’s relapse in 2012.
Tallulah said: “It was like the sun went down, and, like, a monster came, you know?”
“Like, I remember, there’s just the anxiety that would come up in my body when I could sense her eyes shutting a little bit more, the way she was speaking, or she would be a lot more affectionate with me if she wasn’t sober.”
Rumer said that her mum’s behaviour was “jarring and weird” with Tallulah adding: “I recall being very upset and kind of treating her like a child and speaking to her like a child.
“It was not the mum that we had grown up with.”

They also discussed Demi’s failed marriage to Ashton Kutcher.
“So much of that time, especially with Ashton, I was so angry because I felt like something that was mine had been taken away,” Rumer said. “I think also, when she wanted to have another baby and then it wasn’t happening, and there was so much focus on that, it was like ‘Oh, well we’re not enough’.”
Moore and the Punk’d co-creator began their romance in 2003 when they met at a dinner with mutual friends. The pair went on to marry two years later, separated in 2011 and were formally divorced in 2013.
In the episode, Rumer even dived into what led to the extended period of silence between Moore and her kids, noting that her mum’s miscarriage led to a lot of her confusion.
“Part of the reason I moved out of the house was, I think after you had a miscarriage, I literally was just like, ‘Why are you so desperate to have another kid?’ I couldn’t stand the idea,” Rumer said.
Moore opened up about her miscarriage at age 42 after being pregnant for six months in her tell-all memoir Inside Out.
“I can’t even really bring fully to words how lost, empty, desperate, confused … I really lost sight of everything that was right in front of me, which was the family that I had,” Moore wrote.
The actress also writes she began abusing Vicodin and alcohol to cope with the divorce, which further drove a wedge between her and the daughters she shares with Bruce Willis.
