Tallulah Willis Slams Perez Hilton’s ‘Sexualizing’ Posts About Her as a Teen
Tallulah, 31, shared a screenshot of a 2008 article from Hilton’s website, in which the celebrity blogger talked about a paparazzi photo of a teenage Tallulah hugging her dad.
The photo showed Tallulah wearing a pair of short denim shorts, prompting Hilton to write on his blog, “Bruce Willis’s youngest spawn, Tallulah, lets her but all hang out.”
“The pair share a smooch and a hug,” he said while describing the photo, before making a disturbing comment about Tallulah’s backside.
Hilton also referred to Tallulah as a “fugly child” in the post.
“Shame on you for sexualizing a little 14 year olds body as a thirty fucking year old man,” Tallulah wrote in her post on Wednesday, which also featured a screenshot of a Google search showing how old Hilton was at the time the article was written.
“The concept that you got a good nights sleep on sheets LITTERALLY paid for by children’s tears is foul,” she continued. “The hurt and damage you elicited on my being stayed with me for too long, but I did not break. I healed, I rose and I conquered.”
Adding that she was not looking for “pity” by sharing the post, Tallulah clarified, “I’m looking for a call to arms to support the mental health of young people and their precious relationships with self image. 💛💛 let’s stop the cycle here. Let’s stop stacking hurt on hurt.”
Tallulah later added an “editor’s note” to her Instagram post, where she explained her “hope” for Hilton.
“My hope for him is that this can invite some inward reflection on past behavior, and explore what was underneath the pull to tear people down. I wish him and his family well. All we can do is kindness 💛💛”
Tallulah Willis Claims Perez Hilton ‘Bullied’ Her for Her Chin
Also on Wednesday, Tallulah shared another post to compare photos of herself with pics of her famous dad.
“My Lordy! if I am NOT this man’s child!” she celebrated in the post, while noting how similar her facial structure is to that of the Die Hard actor.
“The face, the smile, dare I say it the chin,” she wrote, before calling out Hilton by writing in a parenthetical, “hey @perez remember when you bullied a 13 year old for money?)”
She alluded to comments seemingly made by Hilton over the years about her chin, claiming that the insults “made [her] want to end it all.”
“I used to not be able to say the word chin out loud,” she wrote. “It was my dirty sinful malady, center stage for all the world to see. At least that’s what you guys said, over and over and over and over.”
“What a cursed child I was for inheriting this joyful, expressive feature, alive with emotion!” she added.
“I’m angry at the adults they planted the seeds of self hate, and I’m proud of myself for the work I’ve to rip that hate out from the roots! love u all. stay the course,” she concluded the post.
Hilton has not yet issued a public response to either of Tallulah’s posts.
