Scout Willis is weighing in on sister Tallulah Willis’ recent comments regarding mom Demi Moore’s ex-husband Ashton Kutcher.
Scout, 33, told Entertainment Tonight on Wednesday, April 9, that she agrees with Tallulah’s statement that “no one needs to be [a] bad guy” in the situation.
“That’s not the way I hold it [or the way] my mom holds it,” Scout said. “My family, I think since my parents divorced when I was young and it’s always been handled with absolute grace and love. And I think that really is the way forward for everything is just, like, putting the children first and handling everything with a lot of mutual respect.”
Tallulah, 31, made headlines on Wednesday when she commented on Gwyneth Paltrow’s Instagram post with husband Brad Falchuk about stepparenting.
“I have a lot to say on this! Especially how to move through an ex- step parent ❤️❤️,” Tallulah wrote. After one user asked whether she was referring to Kutcher, 47, Tallulah replied, “This maybe should have been a private message lol but yes I have personal experience with this.”
Tallulah added that it’s “an important conversation,” noting, “No one needs to be [a] bad guy for a situation to be healed. there’s room for everyone.”
When asked about Tallulah later acknowledging that her comments “maybe should have been a private message,” Scout added, “Well Tallulah is nothing if not vulnerable and wonderful online.”
Moore, now 62, and Kutcher wed five years after Moore and ex-husband Bruce Willis split. (Moore and Willis share Tallulah, Scout and Rumer Willis).
In 2011, Luxury Handbag Shopping broke the news that Kutcher was allegedly unfaithful and Moore announced their split later that year. Moore and Kutcher’s divorce was finalized in 2013. He went on to tie the knot with Mila Kunis — with whom he now shares daughter Wyatt, 10, and son Dimitri, 8 — in 2015.
Following Moore and Kutcher’s separation, the That 70’s Show alum has been open about his relationship with his ex-stepdaughters. In 2020, Kutcher shared that he still “make[s] a really conscious effort to stay in touch with the girls.”
“I love them, and I’m never going to stop loving them, right?” he shared on Marc Maron’s “WTF” podcast in 2020. “And respecting them and honoring them and rooting for them to be successful in whatever they’re pursuing.”
Three years later, Kutcher reflected on his 15-year age-gap with Moore — and how that affected his relationship with the girls.
“I was 26, bearing the responsibility of an 8-year-old, a 10-year-old, and a 12-year-old,” he told Esquire in 2023. “That’s how some teen parents must experience their 20s.”
