Demi writes a good deal about her relationship with Ashton: the early euphoria; their decision to wed; a miscarriage when Demi was almost six months pregnant; their attempts to conceive again, including fertility treatments and IVF; incorporating threesomes into their sex life; and their eventual divorce.Naturally, I was aware she was controversial at times, that she had married and divorced Bruce Willis, and then married Ashton Kutcher- a relationship that came under a great deal of scrutiny in the tabloids. In other words, I knew the simple basics and that's about it. Regardless of the confusion, one thing remained clear: Jules/Demi was clearly captivating as shit and thus fully deserved to provoke whatever mayhem, including but not limited to a break-in Rob Lowe rescue. Famed American actress Demi Moore at last tells her own story in a surprisingly intimate and emotionally charged memoir.

It took a long time for Demi to realize she'd been raped. She says, "For decades, I didn’t even think of it as rape. I thought of it as something I caused, something I felt obligated to do because this man expected it from me. I had let him expect it from me. I was an easy mark for a predator." In Demi's view, the assault contributed to her subsequent substance abuse and anxiety problems. Moore had originally planned her memoirs to coincide with her 50th birthday in 2012. [7] She centered the memoir around "a fundamental question, which is, 'How did I get here?' Coming from where I've come from, how did I get here?" she told People magazine. [8] She said that writing the memoir was a necessary part of a longer process of rediscovering herself. "I had to figure out why to do this, because my own success didn't drive me," Moore said. [9] The book was co-written by journalist Ariel Levy. [10] Publication and promotion [ edit ] Moore began her modeling career, when she worked with a photographer, who took nude photos. Moore's photos were taken when she was underage and the photos were sold to magazines in Japan. She eventually landed a contract with Elite Model Management. [16] While filming No Small Affair, Moore revealed that she believed she had taken Jon Cryer's virginity during their time together on set. "I played a young nightclub singer, and Jon Cryer played the nineteen-year-old photographer who falls in love with her, in his first movie role. Jon fell for me in real life, too, and lost his virginity to me while we were making that movie," she writes. [16]

Demi is philosophical about her failed relationships, and doesn't badmouth any of the men she dated or married. To recover from her third divorce, Demi worked with a therapist and went to rehab. In time, she became stronger and came to understand what went wrong. She observes, "I took care of everyone but myself. I had to figure out what I needed and wanted."

I wouldn't necessarily say I'm a Demi Moore fan, but I did walk away from this book with some newfound respect. Despite the millions in the bank and stunning good looks, she hasn't had the easiest life. She shares a lot of her struggles in this memoir and I'm sure putting yourself out there like that is difficult. This is something she carried well into adulthood. Always the need to be someone else, to put on a "face" for what she expected other people wanted to see. It's a tough habit to undo. To truly be free to be yourself.I’ve never been a fan of movie, or TV stars, in the same way I am with musicians or authors. I liked many of the movies Demi starred in- Ghost being my very favorite of all her roles. I think she is a good actress, but I wouldn’t call myself a fan, necessarily. I was especially gripped by the last few chapters. I was honestly in tears and find myself tearing up even now as I remember some of the things she shared.

Demi Moore had a very broken and dysfunctional family because of whom she started early with sex, drugs, and alcohol. However, she learned all the lessons, changed her habits and focused on becoming the best paid actress of her time. Demi's story is one I recommend to all. Huge thank you to her for writing and sharing her heartfelt journey. Long may she continue to find happiness, peace, and acceptance of the things she cannot change, because she deserves it. I wish her the best. For decades, Demi Moore has been synonymous with celebrity. From iconic film roles to high-profile relationships, Moore has never been far from the spotlight – or the headlines.For me Demi ends the book on a positive note. There is still so much joy to look forward to. There is a sense of serenity. I wish her well. Demi's brother Morgan was born when she almost five, after which the Guynes' left New Mexico. Demi observes, "Soon after [Morgan] was born we left Roswell for California, the first of a series of moves that would define our childhood. My mother figured out that my dad was having an affair, so she did what she'd been taught to do by HER mother when your husband is fooling around. She got him away from the problem. It did not seem to occur to the women in my family that if you took your cheating husband along when you left the problem came with you wherever you went."
