The Willis family has gone through a lot during these past months, and their struggles are far from over.
Ever since the Die Hard star was diagnosed with a condition that affects one’s ability to communicate, the world fell silent. His family provided him with extreme support and has been updating his fans of Bruce’s condition regularly.
Bruce withdrew from from the spotlight, and later on, he was diagnosed with a more specific condition; frontotemporal dementia.
“Our family wanted to start by expressing our deepest gratitude for the incredible outpouring of love, support and wonderful stories we have all received since sharing Bruce’s original diagnosis,” his daughter Rumer Willis posted on the social media.
“In the spirit of that, we wanted to give you an update about our beloved husband, father and friend since we now have a deeper understanding of what he is experiencing.
“Since we announced Bruce’s diagnosis of aphasia in spring 2022, Bruce’s condition has progressed and we now have a more specific diagnosis: frontotemporal dementia (known as FTD).”
As Bruce’s wife, ex-wife, and his daughters were as well affected by his illness, his daughter Tallulah, whom the actor shares with Demi Moore, is experiencing issues with her mental health and they get worse as her father’s health condition worsens.
Tallulah spoke openly of her anorexia after she was dumped by her fiancè Dillon Buss less than three months after her father’s aphasia diagnosis.
As per reports, Bruce is being aware of his daughter’s suffering.
“Bruce could see her wasting away and it only made his own problems worse,” a source said, as reported by Radar.
“Bruce was shattered when he saw Tallulah’s suffering,” the insider went on.
“It got to the point where the family thought it would be better if they weren’t around each other at all.”
Tallulah has been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder after she checked into an in-patient facility following the breakup.
In the essay she penned for Vogue Magazine, Tallulah explained that her struggles with body dysmorphia began when she started taking medication for ADHD.
“I felt smart for the first time,” Tallulah said of taking her medication, “but I also started to enjoy the appetite-suppressant side effect of the meds. I saw a way to banish the awkward adolescent in favor of a flighty little pixie. And like so many people with eating disorders, my sense of myself went haywire.
“There’s an unhealthy deliciousness at the beginning of losing weight rapidly. People are like, ‘Oh wow!’ And then quickly it turns to, ‘Are you okay?’ My friends and family were terrified, and I dismissed it.”
The 29-year-old added: “By the spring of 2022, I weighed about 84 lbs. I was always freezing. I was calling mobile IV teams to come to my house, and I couldn’t walk in my Los Angeles neighborhood because I was afraid of not having a place to sit down and catch my breath.”
We truly hope Tallulah would be able to overcome her health issues.
Shocking Revelation: Gayle King Spills Oprah’s Hospital Secret!
Following Oprah Winfrey’s hospitalization earlier this week, her friend Gayle King is finally discussing what transpired. Oprah did not make her normal appearance to present her book pick during the most recent broadcast of Oprah’s Book Club on CBS.
Rather, Gayle King gave author David Wroblewski, who was present in the studio, an explanation of Oprah’s absence. “I’m glad you’re here, and I apologize that Oprah can’t,” Gayle remarked. She declared yesterday that she would hold a rally. She was sick from head to toe with a severe case of stomach flu.
Nervously, Gayle King apologized, hoping that sharing that detail wouldn’t hurt Oprah. She wanted everyone to know how much Oprah valued being present, even if she was ill and was unable to do so. Gayle gave everyone the assurance that they would make up for her loss.
Oprah’s Book Club selected the author in 2008, and Gayle, Nate Burleson, and Tony Dokoupil had a conversation with her during the show.
Following Gayle’s mention of Oprah’s health, Oprah’s representative offered an explanation on Oprah Daily’s Instagram, stating that Oprah was unable to appear on CBS Mornings to reveal her next book club selection. It was said that Oprah was suffering from a stomach ailment, and Gayle, who is a close friend, took over to give the news. Following her doctor’s advise and receiving an IV for dehydration, Oprah recovered. Everyone hoped she recovered quickly.
Oprah and her crew released an official statement along with the caption. “Ms. Winfrey is recuperating following a stomach virus and receiving an IV for dehydration as prescribed by her physician,” the statement read. She is getting more rest and improving every day.
In a video chat with Gayle King later on Tuesday, Oprah said that she visited the emergency room for fluids rather than the hospital.
“I was at the urgent care facility. I was quite dehydrated,” declared Oprah. “My mouth felt dry, and I was unable to drink enough water to stay hydrated, so that’s why I went to the emergency room,” she continued.
Oprah Winfrey responded, “I’m not completely better yet, but I’m getting there,” when questioned about her health. She clarified that her recent illness prevented her from flying, which is why she was unable to appear on CBS Mornings.
Oprah went to the hospital for an IV drip because she became extremely dehydrated due to a gastrointestinal bug, as Gayle King stated in her post.
“I thought I clarified that, but then I noticed headlines stating that Oprah was admitted to the hospital. (She wasn’t.) And many people called to check on Oprah,” King remarked. She is, in fact, fine! And let’s hear her say it directly.
The good news is that Oprah is back to normal! Around the world, the 70-year-old is adored. To calm any Oprah fans who may have been concerned about her, share this!
