Tallulah Willis talks about being 'dumped' by fiancé and shares her struggle ... trends now
Tallulah Willis revealed she was 'dumped' by her fiancé Dillon Buss last year and shared about her struggles with anorexia, ADHD, and Borderline Personality Disorder in a wide-ranging essay published on Wednesday.
The 29-year-old daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore penned the candid piece for Vogue, where she shared that in June of last year, Buss, whom she had gotten engaged to in May 2021, left her.
'My boyfriend, who was by then my fiancé, dumped me,' she wrote, adding that the situation caused her family to step in and send her to an in-patient facility, where she was diagnosed with BPD.
'I was given a new diagnosis: Borderline Personality Disorder, an illness that impairs the ability to regulate emotions and find stability in relationships,' she explained.
Willis also detailed her struggle with anorexia, which caused her to drop down to just 84 pounds and left her unable to even go for a walk near her home.

Tallulah announced her engagement to Bass in May of 2021. Dillon, who is a filmmaker, was involved with Tallulah for approximately a year before he popped the question to her.
At the time she gushed in her caption: 'with absolute most certainty,' presumably referring to the way she agreed to marry Dillon.
Having gotten sober when she was 20 years old, she says that she began restricting food because he was 'the last vice she got to hold on to' - and four years ago, she was diagnosed with the eating disorder.
'For the last four years, I have suffered from anorexia nervosa,' Tallulah — who recently shared that she has been trolled about her weight — wrote.
'By the spring of 2022, I weighed about 84 pounds. I was always freezing. I was calling mobile IV teams to come to my house, and I couldn’t walk in my Los Angeles neighborhood because I was afraid of not having a place to sit down and catch my breath,' she openly shared.
Willis wrote that her body image battle began when she was just a young girl - recalling a time when, at age 11, she attended an event with her mom Demi and her then-partner Ashton Kutcher, only to face brutal public criticism over her appearance.
After spending 'two hours' reading through the vicious comments being posted about her online, Tallulah says she was left 'with the silent certainty of her own ugliness', a thought that would continue to sit in the back of her mind for years.
At the age of 25, she was admitted to an in-patient facility in Malibu to undergo treatment for depression and ADHD.
