Demi Moore Reiterates Her Name Is Pronounced 'Duh-mee'

A new fan video from New York City has renewed attention to her long-stated preference.

Overview

  • A fan-shot clip from a New York City sidewalk shows Moore correcting fans as she signs autographs.
  • She smiles and says, "Remember, it's 'Duh-mee'," after some in the crowd call out "Deh-mee."
  • She has made the same point for decades, including a 1988 KCRA interview and a 2017 visit to The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
  • Moore says she and Demi Lovato choose different pronunciations because each version pairs better with their last names.
