Tallulah Willis Calls Out Perez Hilton, Reclaims Features She Was Bullied for as a Teen

She recast years of online insults as a call for self-acceptance, urging Perez Hilton to reflect.

Overview

  • In an Oct. 8 Instagram post, the 31-year-old celebrated her resemblance to her father Bruce Willis and wrote that past harassment over her chin once made her want to end her life.
  • She posted screenshots of a 2008 PerezHilton.com item that sexualized her at 14, quoting lines including “Bruce Willis’s youngest spawn, Tallulah, lets her butt all hang out.”
  • Perez Hilton commented on her post, “Hello, please check your DMs,” and has not issued a public apology as of the latest reports.
  • Tallulah later edited her caption to say she hopes Hilton considers his past behavior, as family and peers including Rumer Willis, Ireland Baldwin, and Sailor Brinkley Cook voiced support.
  • Coverage places her statement in the context of Bruce Willis’s ongoing health challenges, including his frontotemporal dementia diagnosis and the family’s recent caregiving arrangements.
