Demi Moore says man raped her at 15, who paid her mom $500

Demi Moore opened up about one of the most traumatic incidents she faced as a teenager in her upcoming memoir, “Inside Out.”

Ahead of the memoir’s release, the “Corporate Animals” actor Demi Moore spoke with Diane Sawyer about being raped when she was just 15, by a man who paid her mother after the incident was over.

In a clip from the “Good Morning America” interview published on Monday, Sawyer says in a voiceover that Demi Moore was “taken by her mother to bars, so that men will notice them. She’s 15 when she comes home one night and an older man they know is in the apartment with the key.”

Demi Moore writes,

‘It was rape and a devastating betrayal,’ revealed by the man’s cruel question, ‘How does it feel to be whored by your mother for $500?’”

Sawyer added in the video. 

After the clip plays, Sawyer asked the actor if she believes that her mother sold her.

“I think, in my deep heart, no. I don’t think it was a straightforward transaction,” Demi Moore answered, seemingly with tears in her eyes. “But she still did give him the access. And put me in harm’s way.”

In the interview, Moore and Sawyer also touched on the actor’s moter’s multiple suicide attempts.

During a heartbreaking interview with Lena Dunham for Harper’s Bazaar, published earlier this month, Moore recalled one of the times that her mother attempted suicide and she had to dig pills out of her mom’s mouth.

“The next thing I remember is using my fingers, the small fingers of a child, to dig the pills my mother had tried to swallow out of her mouth while my father held it open and told me what to do,” Moore told Dunham.

She added that “Something very deep inside me shifted then, and it never shifted back. My childhood was over.”

Moore herself has been candid about her struggles with addiction. She told Dunham that she became sober again after losing her sobriety in her 40s.

“In retrospect, what I realized is that when I opened the door [again], it was just giving my power away,” Moore told Harper’s Bazaar. “I guess I would think of it like this: It was really important to me to have natural childbirth because I didn’t want to miss a moment. And with that I experienced pain.”

She said that “part of being sober is, I don’t want to miss a moment of life, of that texture, even if that means being in — some pain.”

Demi Moore Admits She Cheated on Her First Husband

Demi Moore is admitting to a past “infidelity” in her revealing new memoir Inside Out. In the book, the actress, 56, recalls her whirlwind marriage to musician Freddy Moore, 69, and how being unfaithful forced her to face some hard truths about her life. She was just 17 when they married in 1980; they divorced in 1985.

“The night before we got married, instead of working on my vows, I was calling a guy I’d met on a movie set,” Moore writes. “I snuck out of my own bachelorette party and went to his apartment.”

“What did I do that? Why didn’t I go and see the man I was committing to spend the rest of my life with to express my doubts? Because I couldn’t face the face that I was getting married to distract myself from grieving the death of my father,” she writes. “Because I felt there was no room to question what I’d already put in motion. I couldn’t get out of the marriage, but I could sabotage it.”

Following their split, Demi Moore then married Bruce Willis in 1987, with whom she had three children: Rumer, 31, Scout, 28, and Tallulah Belle, 25. The couple divorced in 2000.

Demi Moore began dating Ashton Kutcher in 2003. In an interview with The New York Times, published on Sept. 12, More opened up about Kutcher, 41, and their 15-year age difference.

Their relationship felt like “a do-over,” Demi Moore explained, “like I could just go back in time and experience what it was like to be young, with him — much more so than I’d ever been able to experience it when I was actually in my twenties.”
