Overview
- Rumer Willis filed in late May asking for primary physical custody of their three‑year‑old daughter Louetta and sought a court‑ordered Evidence Code Section 730 mental‑health evaluation to bar overnight visits by Derek Thomas until professionals assess parental fitness.
- On Wednesday Thomas formally replied in court papers denying any acts of domestic violence or coercive control and describing their relationship as unhealthy but not violent.
- Thomas accused Willis of using Louetta in paid sponsored content that included what he called "adult sexual humor," saying he did not consent to the child’s appearance and asking the court for a defined interim parenting plan with set visitation dates.
- Willis’s filings, supported by a sworn declaration from Demi Moore, allege long episodes of verbal abuse and coercive control that she says left the child traumatized, while Thomas counters claims about drug use and lack of financial support and offered to pay child support from his reported income.
- The parties’ competing factual claims remain unproven and will be addressed at a custody hearing set for June 9, 2026, with any Section 730 evaluation or interim court order likely to shape short‑term parenting time and exchanges.
