Demi Moore "Improving Well" After Substance Abuse Induced Collapse

Posted byBy Stan Castle | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

According to reports, Demi Moore is “improving well” after she checked into a rehabilitation center following a substance abuse incident that left her nearly unconscious.

Last week, Moore was rushed to a Los Angeles hospital after she passed out during a session of using the drug whip-its with a few of her friends. Whip-its is nitrous oxide.

Reports surfaced that her estranged husband Ashton Kutcher “rushed to her house” a few days ago after returning from Brazil, but sources say the ex-couple haven’t seen each other.

“Ashton didn’t go to her house”, the source said. “He has inquired about her through friends and managers, and the family, and made noises to people around her. But the last time they saw each other was around a week before this [her collapse] happened, and that was because he needed something from the house.”

Moore’s friend mentioned that the Hollywood star is doing fine. The source added, “This was a scare, but she’s doing very well.”

Other sources close to Kutcher claimed that he’s “deeply concerned” for her well-being after the collapse.

Kutcher nor Moore’s reps would respond any further on the matter.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
