Demi Moore delves into the intricacies of her relationship with Ashton Kutcher in her latest memoir, Inside Out.
Their love story began in 2003, culminating in marriage in 2005, only to encounter a tumultuous separation in 2011 and a finalized divorce in 2013.
Amidst the public eye, their 15-year age gap became a topic of fascination.
People magazine reports that Moore discloses in her memoir how Kutcher resorted to past instances of threesomes to rationalize his infidelity.
In her writing, Moore reveals that she went to great lengths to embody Kutcher’s ideal partner.
She contorted herself to fit the mold of the woman he desired as his spouse, even in intimate matters.
“I prioritized his desires,” she pens.
“When he voiced his fantasy of introducing a third party into our intimacy, I hesitated to decline.
I aimed to exhibit my capacity for excitement and adventure.”
Despite her initial acquiescence, Moore experienced remorse following their encounters with threesomes.
“They were individuals of good intentions, yet it remained an error,” she reflects.
“An inexplicable wave of shame engulfed me; I couldn’t dispel the notion that I bore responsibility for the ordeal.”
Furthermore, when faced with allegations of Kutcher’s unfaithfulness, Moore discloses that Kutcher leveraged their previous experiences with threesomes to vindicate his actions.
“By involving another party in our relationship, Ashton argued that boundaries became blurred, somewhat justifying his behavior.”
The couple parted ways shortly after Moore discovered Kutcher’s alleged second affair, this time with a 21-year-old woman.
“I discerned her honesty,” she recounts.
“He promptly confessed.”
As per USA Today, Moore also recounts how she lapsed after two decades of sobriety while in a relationship with Kutcher.
Kutcher questioned the validity of alcoholism, asserting that “it may not be a genuine affliction,” leading Moore to believe he sought a partner who could indulge in alcohol casually.
“I refrained from acknowledging that he lacked insight due to his youth,” she expresses.
“I neglected my significant achievement of nearly twenty years of sobriety, seeking validations for his standpoint.”
Following a heartbreaking miscarriage at six months, Moore admits to succumbing to alcohol and Vicodin abuse.
In her memoir, Moore candidly revisits her traumatic encounter with s**ual assault at 15, her mother’s struggles with suicide, and her estrangement from her daughters.
In a recent interview with The New York Times, she emphasizes her reluctance to assign blame, opting instead to narrate her tale.
“I have no interest in assigning fault,” she asserts.
“It serves no purpose.”
