Tallulah Willis Says She Weighed Just 84 Pounds, Was Dumped By Fiancé After Dad Bruce Willis’s Diagnosis With Aphasia

Tallulah Willis, daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, revealed that her fiancé, Dillon Buss, dumped her last June. This came just three months after her father revealed to the public that he had been diagnosed with aphasia. 

She offered this news to the public yesterday in an essay she wrote for Vogue.

Willis and Buss had been together since 2020 and got engaged in May of 2021. Tallulah had been struggling with her mental health for some time but claims that she hit a turning point last June. After the breakup, her family attempted to help her and sent her to an in-patient facility. While at the facility she was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder. She left the in-patient facility in October and is claiming to do much better since going.

In her essay, she discusses the mental and physical obstacles she has been facing, including struggles with ADHD, anorexia and body dysmorphia. Her anorexia caused her to lose a significant amount of weight and at one point she weighed only 84 pounds. Because of this, she was unable to do a lot of everyday activities and couldn’t even go on walks anymore. It also caused her to be freezing cold all the time and she required IV teams to treat her in her home.

Her issues with anorexia began after she got sober when she was 20 years old and was diagnosed with anorexia nervosa four years ago.

Her original battle with her body image began when she was much younger, around the age of 13, when she faced judgment over her appearance. She would read the cruel comments people posted about her body which led her to become insecure about her appearance. 

When she was 25 years old she went to an in-patient facility in Malibu to receive treatment for her mental struggles. 

In the essay, she also discusses her father’s struggles and how she is dealing with the diagnosis. He first was diagnosed with aphasia and then later with frontotemporal dementia, which led him to stop acting. She says her father is no longer “his full self” and did not realize her mental and physical health struggles.

She claims that she saw this condition start to develop in her father years ago when he would have a “vague unresponsiveness” and thought that he was no longer interested in her since he recently had gotten remarried and had two more kids. When he was diagnosed she realized that this was in fact not the case and that his unresponsiveness is due to his aphasia and dementia. She is now focusing on being present with her father and spending as much time as possible with him.
