Bruce Willis’ Daughter Fires Back After Critics Slam Her For Posting ‘Vulnerable’ Photos Of Dad

Tallulah Willis fired back after fans criticized her decision to post photos of her father, retired actor Bruce Willis, as he battles frontotemporal dementia (FTD).

Tallulah, the youngest of the three daughters the “Die Hard” actor shares with actress ex-wife Demi Moore, shared a series of photos via Instagram — several of which included her father — as they shared a “Sunday Funday” with family.

Responding to Willis’ photos — which she captioned, “Sunday funday at Grams ! Grateful” — one fan suggested that perhaps she should not share photos of her father as he continues to struggle with his health.

“I don’t think you should expose your dad to the public! He is vulnerable! And some things should be kept private! You don’t have his permission to post it!” the comment read.

“Hi. I hear that. As a family we use our discretion when posting. Today was a great day filled with smiles,” Tallulah responded to the comment directly. “I made the judgment call to show that to the world, because I know what he means to everyone.”

The majority of the comments were positive, however, and many shared personal stories of their own loved ones who had suffered from dementia or other similar conditions. Most defended Willis in her decision to celebrate and share the good moments whenever they came, saying that it was clear from the photos that he was surrounded by family and well-loved.

The beloved action star left Hollywood abruptly in 2022, publicly sharing a diagnosis of aphasia. Several months later, his family revealed that he’ been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia.

“FTD is a cruel disease that many of us have never heard of and can strike anyone,” the family’s statement read. “For people under 60, FTD is the most common form of dementia, and because getting the diagnosis can take years, FTD is likely much more prevalent than we know. Today there are no treatments for the disease, a reality that we hope can change in the years ahead. As Bruce’s condition advances, we hope that any media attention can be focused on shining a light on this disease that needs far more awareness and research.”

Trump Heads To NATO Summit Demanding ‘Freeloading’ Allies Pay Their Fair Share

President Donald Trump departed for the annual NATO summit at The Hague on Tuesday, hoping to claim another major foreign policy victory as most NATO allies have already agreed to his demand to boost defense spending after the president called out the European nations for “freeloading” and taking advantage of American military protection.

NATO countries, except Spain, agreed in preliminary talks to increase defense spending to 5% of their gross domestic product, a significant increase from the previous 2% target that many allies struggled to meet.

The spending commitment is divided into two parts: 3.5% for traditional military spending, such as air defense and recruitment, while the remaining 1.5% can include infrastructure like roads and bridges that troops could use.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has resisted the spending increase, arguing that it would strain the country’s extensive welfare state.

“We fully respect the legitimate desire of other countries to increase their defence investment, but we are not going to do it,” Sanchez said. In 2024, Spain’s defense expenditure as a share of GDP stood at a measly 1.28%, the lowest of any NATO country.

However, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte struck an optimistic tone early Tuesday morning when President Trump shared a private message from him that read: “You are flying into another big success in The Hague this evening. It was not easy, but we’ve got them all signed onto 5 percent!”

“You will achieve something NO American president in decades could get done,” Rutte said. “Europe is going to pay in a BIG way, as they should, and it will be your win.”

Trump told reporters he doesn’t believe the United States needs to reach the 5% target itself, given that the United States is far separated from many threats NATO faces and does not have a need to invest in wartime infrastructure to the same degree.

Rutte, a Dutch politician who has served as secretary general of NATO since October 2024, has expressed strong support from NATO for recent U.S. military actions against Iran, rejecting suggestions that American strikes violated international law.

“This is a consistent position of NATO: Iran should not have its hands on a nuclear weapon,” Rutte told reporters ahead of the summit. “I would not agree that this is against international law — what the U.S. did.”

Trump is expected to meet with various world leaders at the summit. He said he would “probably” see Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, whose country continues pushing for admission into the alliance.

Trump’s meetings “will focus on issues of shared concern and reaffirm the United States’ strong ties with our allies and partners,” an administration official told Fox News.

The summit was initially set to focus on the alliance’s position in the Russia-Ukraine war, but the Trump-brokered Israel-Iran ceasefire is expected to be the main topic of discussion.
