Growing up in the public eye was never going to be easy and, when it comes to speaking about what it’s like to be a celebrity kid, few families are more vocal than the children of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore.
The former couple, who were married from 1987-2000, share three children. Rumer, 28, Scout, 25, and Tallulah, 23.
Tallulah, the youngest of the three sisters, took to Instagram on Friday to post a three-year-old picture where she described herself as “a malnourished string bean with aches that echoed throughout my soul”.
The photograph depicts a then 20-year-old Tallulah with a beer in hand and a cigarette in her mouth.
The daughter of the Hollywood couple goes on to say that “self annihilation fuelled with medicating” left her a shell and put her in a very deep hole, one she was eventually lifted out of.
The 23-year-old has now been sober for three years and credits that decision as “the most important” thing she’s done.
Tallulah’s sister Rumer also took to Instagram to post a message of congratulations for the 23-year-old after she hit the three year sober mark.
Rumer herself, who has followed in her parent’s footsteps by appearing in numerous TV shows and movies, also celebrated her own sobriety less than a week ago when she hit the six month milestone.
And the third of the sisters, 25-year-old Scout, is also celebrating being clean and sober.
Just yesterday, the middle Willis child took to Instagram to reveal on June 17 she’d hit her one year milestone.
Tallulah’s heartbreaking post isn’t the first time the artist has been open about struggling with an eating disorder or self esteem issues.
In 2014, she stripped off for a video with StyleLikeU and spoke about being bullied by tabloids.
“I’m diagnosed with body dysmorphia [because of] reading those stupid f**ing tabloids when I was like 13, feeling like I was just ugly, always,” she said
“I believed the strangers more than the people who loved me, because why would the people who love me be honest?”
Despite the sisters’ struggles in the past, their social media constantly proves how strong their family bond is and also provides their followers with plenty of adorable throwbacks.
