Willis Calls for Respect Toward Her Husband Following His Dementia Diagnosis
In February, Bruce Willis, a well-known actor, received a diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia, a degenerative brain condition that can impact a person’s behavior and personality. As his condition progresses, Willis has been stepping back from his acting career to seek a more private life. However, dealing with paparazzi intrusion has made this transition challenging.

Emma Heming Willis, Bruce’s wife, took to Instagram to address the paparazzi and fans, urging them to respect Bruce’s privacy and refrain from questioning him about his condition. She expressed her frustration, stating, “For the video people, please don’t be yelling at my husband asking him how he’s doing or whatever — the woohoo-ing and the yippee ki yays … just don’t do it. OK?”
After facing criticism for her post, Emma clarified her intentions in a follow-up post, emphasizing her unwavering support for her husband. She responded to the critics saying, “I just saw something about me getting my five minutes, which is great. Which means that you’re listening.”
She added, “So I’m going to take my five minutes, and I’m going to turn it into 10 because I’m always going to advocate for my husband.”

Emma expressed her determination to channel her emotions into positive actions, stating, “I am going to turn my grief and my anger and my sadness and do something good around something that feels less than. So, watch this space because I didn’t come to play.”
In her post caption, she shared, “I have sat around quietly for too long, and I’m so ready to be embraced by this solid and loving community my family and I find ourselves in while trying to lift them up in return. Let’s go.”
