Inside Demi Moore’s doomed marriage to Ashton Kutcher: Star spills all secrets
Demi Moore has spilled all the secrets of her failed marriage with Ashton Kutcher.
The Ghost actress, 56, sent shockwaves through the showbiz world with the release of her tell-all memoir Inside Out.
On the surface, their relationship was instantly a source of interest because Demi was forty at the time she began romancing 25-year-old Ashton.
Now Demi has opened the door on what really went on behind the scenes of their home as their eight-year marriage hits headlines once again.
The songwriter exposed their marriage was built on obsessive love that was marred by shaming, cheating, threesomes and a tragic miscarriage.
PUBLIC SHAMING:
"HE LET ME KNOW HOW HE FELT BY SHOWING A PICTURE HE'D TAKEN OF ME RESTING MY HEAD ON THE TOILET."
Demi expressed the humiliation she felt when Ashton publicly shared photographs of her drunk and passed out amid her secret battle with alcoholism.
The embattled star started drinking again after 20 years of sobriety when she miscarried their baby six months into the pregnancy.
Trouble was waiting to happen on Demi's 45th birthday while the couple were away with friends and she wound up drunk in a hot tub.
Demi recalled how a seething Ashton showed her a picture he had taken of her resting her head on a toilet the night before.
"It was [..] confusing," she reflected in her book. "Ashton had encouraged me to go in this direction. When I went too far, though, he let me know how he felt by showing a picture he'd taken of me resting my head on the toilet the night before.
"It seemed like a good natured joke at the time. But it was really just shaming."
In 2009, Ashton caused a stir when he shared a picture of Demi's bottom on social media.
"Shhh don't tell wifey," he wrote in the caption.
In the wake of a backlash, Ashton defended himself by saying his love was in a bikini and everyone would be able to see her bottom on the beach.
The former Punk'd star claimed the reason why Demi was doubled over was because she was "ironing" his pants.
He said at the time: "Let's back off a notch. It was a bikini, not underwear, so people might have been confused. She was ironing my pants. That sounds weird, but we were on a beach and she was wearing a bikini, ironing my pants!
"I took a picture of her and asked her before I put it out to the world. And then I sent it really quick. It's a good butt – it's a really good butt. And people saw it. You could see that at the beach."
OBSESSIVE LOVE:
"I WAS ADDICTED TO HIM."
Demi admitted she found herself "so dependent" on Ashton throughout their time together.
The actress told how she become "addicted" to him as she believed he was her "soulmate" who offered her "real intimacy".
"I'd become so dependent on Ashton," she wrote. "I was addicted to him, is the best way I can put it. And I did all the things addicts do. I prioritized my addiction over my needs and the needs of my family."
They first crossed paths when Ashton was hosting Saturday Night Live and Demi was doing advance press for Charlie's Angels in New York City.
The pair went out for dinner with the rest of the stars yet Demi fondly reminisced how it was like no one else was there.
Not finished talking, the actress told how she invited the hunky actor back to where she was staying and they stayed up chatting all night before falling asleep side-by-side.
They met again when by a twist of fate Demi's plane was cancelled the next day.
But the couple weren't to meet again for weeks.
However, they were constantly texting up a storm and chatting over the phone.
In June 2003, they went public with their romance.
They were married in 2005 but it all come crashing down in 2013.
CAUGHT CHEATING:
"I GOT A GOOGLE ALERT ON MY PHONE. 'ASHTON KUTCHER CAUGHT CHEATING' FLASHED ACROSS MY SCREEN."
Demi discovered Ashton had a one-night stand with a young blonde by her Google alerts.
The Google alert struck her in the heart when she scoured the contents of the article exposing her husband had spent the night with another woman.
In her own words, she knew the words the unidentified woman had spilled as "Ashton's pickup lines".
Demi said Ashton had spent the night with the woman after picking her up at a bachelor party in San Diego. She recalled how he then drove home the next morning to celebrate their anniversary at home with her.
ASHTON AND BRUCE WERE GOOD FRIENDS
Ashton struck up a close bond with her first ex-husband Bruce Willis.
They enjoyed playing cards together, having dinner and hanging out on a regular occasion.
MISCARRIAGE
Demi bravely included a picture of her blossoming baby bump before she miscarried her child at six months with Ashton.
Her pregnancy was kept secret from the public and the newspapers. She was 42 at the time.
The Striptease star revealed the saddening moment her doctor informed her she had miscarried the child.
She told Diane Sawyer on Good Morning America: "You could see combination of his dread and it shifting then immediately in to matter of fact, practical, information. Because it was unquestionable. There was no heartbeat."
In her expose book, the Indecent Proposal star freely expressed she and Ashton were keen to have a child together.
