Emma Heming Willis is speaking out after facing criticism for her decision to have Bruce Willis live in a separate home with professional caregivers as he battles frontotemporal dementia. In an ABC special on Aug. 26, Heming Willis explained that placing the actor in a care-focused environment was “one of the hardest decisions,” but necessary to prioritize their daughters’ needs as well as his. She emphasized that Bruce would have wanted the arrangement. Following backlash, Heming Willis responded in an Aug. 29 Instagram video, saying she expected judgment from people with “opinions” but stressed that only those with firsthand caregiving experience truly understand the challenges. “This is what caregivers are up against. Judgment from others,” she said. Daughter Tallulah Willis publicly praised her mother’s devotion.
