Rumer Willis is going to die hard on this hill.
Bruce Willis and Demi Moore’s daughter insisted on Monday via Instagram Stories that she doesn’t receive financial help from her parents while raising daughter Louetta as a single mother.
The 37-year-old clapped back at “uninformed” and “rude” haters after posting about her “never-ending” to-do list, which ranged from “drinking 64 ounces of water” and “meal prepping” to “dating” and “planning afterschool activities.”
She captioned the Reel, “I need a nap and a duvet day asap. 🌀”
Hours later, Rumer took to her Story to set the record straight after seeing comments “judg[ing]” and “assum[ing]” she received assistance from her famous mom and dad.
“I work four different jobs to provide for my daughter,” the entrepreneur clarified. “I am the sole provider for [my 2-year-old]. I don’t live off a trust fund or get money from my parents. Most of the time I don’t have help with her. So how about y’all pause before you judge and assume.”
She went on to post a message from one of her followers pointing out that she has “backup” and will never “end up on the street.”
Rumer insisted she is “very aware” of her “privileges in life,” noting, “I don’t take that for granted. I don’t live my life treating family support as a backup plan.
“I take a lot of pride in providing for myself and my daughter, and I’ve carried real financial stress and responsibility,” she continued. “There were years when I was the sole provider for multiple people, navigating pregnancy, inconsistent work and the uncertainty that comes with that.”
Rumer, who welcomed Louetta in 2023 with ex Derek Richard Thomas, concluded by denying “the idea that [she doesn’t] work or understand financial pressure.”
Telling naysayers “two truths” can exist at once, Rumer wrote, “There’s room for both compassion for what others face and honesty about our own lives without it becoming a competition.”
Reps for Rumer, Bruce and Moore did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.
Rumer is the former couple’s eldest child, with the duo also welcoming Scout, now 34, and Tallulah, now 32, before ending their 13-year marriage in 2000.
Bruce, 70, moved on with Emma Heming Willis, with whom he shares daughters Mabel, 13, and Evelyn, 11.
The “Die Hard” star and Moore, 63, maintained an amicable co-parenting dynamic over the years — and the actress has been at her ex-husband’s side amid his frontotemporal dementia battle.
