Demi Moore Accused of Threats in Escalating Rumer Willis Custody Fight
New court filings allege Moore threatened her daughter's father, a claim that has not been proven in court.
Overview
- This week tabloid and entertainment outlets published court documents in which Derek Richard Thomas says Demi Moore behaved intimidatorily and threatened to "destroy" him.
- Thomas filed papers in February 2026 seeking a temporary restraining order about visitation and lodged a written objection to the child's appearance in paid advertising.
- Rumer Willis has applied for primary custody and residence for their daughter Louetta and the filings say she later moved the child from California to Idaho, a move Thomas says he never consented to.
- The parties trade sharp, specific claims in court filings: Willis accuses Thomas of repeated emotional abuse and inappropriate behavior with the child, while Thomas raises safety and publicity concerns and implicates Moore.
- The dispute remains an active family-court matter with the allegations unproven and no public comment from Rumer or Demi Moore, and the outcome could shape custody, visitation and any future use of the child in advertising.
