Demi Moore’s memoir claims her alcoholic mom had a part in her being raped at 15: ‘A devastating betrayal’

The Truth Can Set You Free –

September 23, 2019 – Moore’s mother attempted suicide “many, many times,” she said. The first time, when Moore was 12, she pulled the pills out of her mother’s mouth to save her. Along the way, Moore learned that Dan wasn’t her biological father, leading her to feel like she “wasn’t wanted” by her real dad. Not long after, Dan left, making Moore responsible for her unstable mother. That’s when the bar trips began and the rape occurred. Moore dropped out of high school not long after the assault, moved to L.A. and pursued a career in Hollywood.

Her troubles followed, she said in the interview. During her first role — on General Hospital — she developed a problem with alcohol and cocaine. During one of her early and prominent roles — in 1985’s St. Elmo’s Fire — she was ordered to go to rehab by the director and producer as her addiction worsened. The character she played in the film, Jules, also had drug problems. “I mean — the irony certainly was not lost on me,” she said, calling the trip to rehab in her 20s “a profound gift that they gave me.”
