An Instagram memory shared by Tallulah Willis turned into a conversation about autism.

Tallulah, the youngest of three girls shared by Bruce Willis, 69, and his ex-wife Demi Moore, 61, shared a clip that shows her as a child, repeatedly playing with her father’s head as he holds her in his arms while speaking with the media at a film premiere.

Inviting dialogue from her 408,000 followers, Tallulah captions the March 15^th clip, “tell me your autistic without telling me your autistic [sic].”

Some users expressed love for the sweet moment in the clip, and others – familiar with the behaviors she displays – touched on her symptoms of autism along with her father’s loving reaction.

“The beautiful way he just wasn’t even phased by that and just continued to hold you. Your dad is one-of-a-kind honey, and so are you,” writes one netizen. A second shares, “In your defense, shaved heads are as relaxing as little Japanese sand zen gardens.”

A third cyber fans adds, “His care for your feelings is magic…I’m so happy you have moments captured in the vault of forever.”

Recent diagnosis

One of the most popular comments comes from a psychologist who specializes in neurodivergent conditions.

“If you’re open to sharing, did you get diagnosed as a child?” The user, who goes by the name mfizzle, continues, “Not sure how much of your journey you’ve shared but would love to read more. You’re brave and inspiring and this is a very sweet video. All the best!”

Responding to this user’s question, Tallulah writes, “This is the first time I’ve ever publicly shared my diagnosis. Found out this summer and it’s changed my life.”

Stimming

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), “Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental disability caused by differences in the brain. People with ASD often have problems with social communication and interaction, and restricted or repetitive behaviors or interests.”

Further down in the Instagram comments, Scout LaRue Willis, 32, offered more information on why the attached clip is relevant to her little sister’s condition.

“She’s stimming,” Scout LaRue writes, referring to repeated movements that some people with autism may engage to regulate sensory input.

“Dude the ear curl,” Tallulah writes, referring to the moment she folds the ear of her dad, who looks at her and sweetly smiles. “I wish we had stronger audio.”

Her father’s battle

Tallulah, Scout LaRue and Rumer Willis, 35, have been showering their father with love and support amid his ongoing battle with aphasia and frontotemporal dementia (FTD).

In 2023, the Die Hard star, who turned 69 on March 19, was diagnosed with FTD, a degenerative condition primarily affecting communication and behavior rather than memory. One of the actor’s early symptoms of the illness was aphasia, which affects how people communicate, write and understand other people.

Since the diagnoses, Willis’ loved ones have voiced support for the adored man, who also shares another two daughters with wife Emma Hemming Willis.

“Just like you, we simply adore him. What you might not know, but maybe you could imagine, that being wrapped in his arms is the safest place in this whole wide world,” writes Emma of The Last Boy Scout star whom she married in 2009. “He’s a true gentle-man. With so much love to give and share. That’s what I get to see, his true core. I can tell you, it’s so pure and ever so good.”

At this time, Tallulah has not offered further information on her diagnosis.

Step aside, Aladdin! Barbara Eden, the woman who made the world dream of genies, is celebrating her 92nd birthday on August 23, and the nonagenarian looks fantastic!

Eden–who turned fans into shameless bottle shiners hoping for their own wish-granting blonde–is still adored almost 60 years since she first appeared on I Dream of Jeannie.

But, while she was able to strike a pose and make magic happen on screen, in real life, she was unable to save her son, who died of a heroin overdose in 2001.

Born in the Great Depression, Barbara Eden, 92 as of August 23, 2023, turned poverty into luxury when, in 1956, she started appearing in film (A Private’s Affair, Twelve Hours to Kill) and TV (The Jonny Carson Show, I love Lucy).

In 1960, she played to international audiences when she cast was alongside the “King of Rock and Roll,” Elvis Presley in the western, Flaming Star.

And then, in 1965, the stunning blonde played Jeannie, a beautiful genie that was set free by astronaut and US Air Force Captain, Tony Nelson.

Eden captured the hearts of fans with her impressive portrayal of the magical creature that she played for the five-season run of the fantasy sitcom I Dream of Jeannie, with Larry Hagman playing her love interest, Nelson.

The same year she was reaching super stardom as Jeannie, Eden and her husband, actor Michael Ansara (known for his starring in role in the 60s series Broken Arrow) had a son, Matthew Ansara, who was born August 29, 1965.

When Matthew was nine, his parents ended their 15-year marriage, a strike that Eden, who married two more times, says sent her son on the wrong path, towards drugs.

The Harper Valley PTA star explained that she first noticed Matthew was in trouble in 1984, when at 19, he moved in with his father after she remarried. Returning after she divorced a second time, Eden said he was sleeping a lot and lied about being enrolled in college.

“Matthew never told Mike and me that he was using heroin—he didn’t want to hurt us. But we figured it out because he had been acting sluggish, losing weight, staying out all night. I insisted that he enter a rehab center, and I let him come back home when he came out a month later.”

The star of The Stepford Children continued, “But he started using again. The professionals told us that if your child is using drugs, he has become the drug: He is no longer your child, and he no longer has a home with you. So, I locked him out when he was 20, which was the hardest thing I ever had to do.”

Matthew, who started using drugs when he was only 10, spent the next 12 years in and out of rehab, his parents connecting to help him through.

“When he visited us, sometimes he’d laugh and say, ‘Here I am, better lock up everything.’ But when he was sober, he’d tell us, ‘I’m so sorry. I love you more than anyone in the world,’” Eden said of her son, who often stole their property when he visited.

During a brief remission when he was 27, Matthew married and studied creative writing at UCLA, but “the cycle began again,” and his wife left.

Recalling when things turned for the worse, Eden said she confronted her son, and “he got angry, threw things and stomped out.” Finding Matthew after a months-long search, Eden learned he’d spent most of the time living on the streets.

“One day, soon after they separated, he called me, sounding half dead, and said, ‘Mom, I’m sick.’ Mike’s wife and another friend drove with me to a bad part of Venice, Calif., and we found him in his apartment, unconscious from an overdose.”

Describing his living conditions as “filthy,” Eden continued. “He weighed 200 lbs., but we three women got him up and to the car and took him to the hospital, which saved his life.”

At 29 he was diagnosed with clinical depression and was on medication, that didn’t help.

When he was 31, Matthew was clean again and following the path of his parents, he had a starring role in the 2001 film To Protect and Serve, and a supporting role in Con Games, that was released posthumously the same year.

In September that year, he had plans to wed a “wonderful girl.”

“One day he told me, ‘Life is great, Mom. I can’t believe I spent so many years not being awake to how green the trees are.’” Eden said.

Barbara Eden son cause of death

Soon after that conversation, on June 26 at 3 a.m. Eden was jolted from her sleep when a phone call came through about her son,

Six hours before the call, police found 35-year-old Matthew, an amateur bodybuilder, slumped over the steering wheel of his truck, where cops also pulled vials of anabolic steroids that he used to bulk up for competitions.

Autopsy results showed that Matthew’s cause of death was accidental drug overdose.

“Then he was dead. He had shot up with a dose of unusually pure heroin, and it was too much for his heart,” Eden said. “Even when he was getting in shape, he did it like an addict—obsessively. He was unable to do anything in moderation.”

Mourning the death of her only child, the author and singer, married to Jon Eicholtz since 1991, is still looking for answers.

“Matthew took it horribly. He wanted his mommy and daddy to stay together. If I had to do it over, I would have waited until he was older. But then I remind myself that so many kids from divorced homes don’t become addicts.” She continued, “He won a lot of battles. But he lost his personal war.”

The senior Ansara, who at 91 died in 2013 from complications related to Alzheimer’s, is buried next to his son at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Los Angeles.

As for Eden, who retired Jeannie’s pink harem suit, she can be seen on TV shows like Worst Cooks in America: Celebrity Edition and the 2019 film My Adventures with Santa, where she plays Mrs. Claus. Her last stage production was 2019’s Love Letters.

First, we’d like to wish the beautiful Barbara Eden a very happy birthday!

Next, we cannot imagine a parent’s pain of losing a child and we are so sorry for her loss. If someone you know is struggling with addictions, please contact your local alcohol or drug abuse hotline–it could save their life.

Please share this story and let’s give Eden some warm wishes and the love she deserves!

Despite declining masculinity when she changed her gender to become a woman, A trans influencer slammed society, boldly suggesting that men today are too sensitive and that they need to stop expecting the “princess treatment.”

Arizona’s Ali C. Lopez is no stranger to controversy. As a proud, plus-size transgender woman and social media influencer, she fearlessly shared her journey, captivating audiences with her raw honesty and bold perspective.

Lopez’ popularity was launched after an appearance on the Whatever podcast, where topics like feminism, gender roles and traditional values are fiercely debated.

Her candid responses during the podcast, particularly when asked to rate her attractiveness, sparked online attention.

Lopez famously declared herself “a fat f***ing ten,” a statement that led to the creation of the now-viral meme “Gorlock the Destroyer.”

Though the moniker initially stung, Lopez admits she’s trying to embrace it but still finds the Gorlock label unsettling.

“If I’m 100% honest, there are days where it still bothers me that I get called that…There was even a time I was like, ‘should I just even embrace [‘Gorlock the Destroyer’] at this point?’ I don’t even care,” Lopez told Fox News Digital.

But, the 25-year-old is enjoying the attention. “I feel like [it’s]… a little bit of an out-of-body experience, or you’re just, like, there’s, ‘No way that’s me.’ It’s a crazy feeling. And honestly, I’m still fairly new to [being viral],” she said about her online fame. “There’s good, bad, exciting, nervous. It’s just all over the place.”

‘Princess treatment’

The hype surrounding Lopez doesn’t stop at her Gorlock identity, and her 502,000 TikTok followers can’t get enough of her content, many posts that collect millions of likes.

From beauty tutorials and lifestyle tips to heartfelt videos on her transition, Lopez – who calls herself a “certified baddie” – offers a unique blend of relatability and inspiration. However, it’s her candid discussions about dating and relationships that have sparked the most heated debates.

The transgender woman has been vocal about her challenges and observations when it comes to dating, faulting the decline in traditional masculinity, which she says impacts modern relationships.

“It’s getting out of control,” Lopez told Fox News, explaining she wants to find a man who can handle tasks that in the past were labelled as traditionally masculine.

But that’s not easy to find these days, according to Lopez.

“At least for me, you better be able to do more than what my dad can do. Because if I have to call my dad to do something for me and not you. Why are you here?” Lopez continued, “I feel like a lot of [men] need to start being [men]. When it comes to the male world…men nowadays are expecting princess treatment.”

She adds, “I just see a lot of men expecting women in the relationship…to go above and beyond and like them to almost do nothing…I also love when there is a little bit of a gender role in a relationship. I’m not a big fan of toxic masculinity [but] I like when there’s a little bit of that, like ‘I’m the man and I’m going to take charge.’”

What people are saying

Lopez’s views on the world were met with some praise and a lot of hostility.

One netizen writes, “Well – I don’t quite know where to start – why would anyone be influenced by anything coming from this person – maybe she should indulge in some inner reflection about dating issues.”

A second, associating her physique to Humpty Dumpty, shares, “…and all the king’s horses and all the king’s men…”

In the comments section of a TikTok clip that has 9.8 million views, one troll references Jabba the Hutt from the Star Wars franchise: “Jabba will not make it past 40 with that lifestyle,” the troll writes. A second adds, “The confidence is amazing. Jabba I’m proud of you.”

Meanwhile, others jumped in and defended the plus-sized trans influencer.

“Girl, you look great! Don’t let these ppl bring you down!!!” writes one, while a second shares, “I’m sorry people are so mean you’re so pretty.”

Ali C. Lopez is more than just a social media influencer – she’s a trailblazer challenging societal norms and her story is a reminder of the strength it takes to be unapologetically yourself, especially in a world that often resists change.
