Demi Moore, an iconic Hollywood actress, is facing public outrage after a video from 1982 surfaced online, showing her kissing a 15-year-old boy. The incident has sent shockwaves through social media and raised questions about her past actions, overshadowing her recent Golden Globe win.
Shocking 1982 Video Resurfaces
The video, which was originally aired by Entertainment Tonight, shows a young Demi Moore sharing passionate kisses with Philip Tanzini, a 15-year-old boy who was her co-star on General Hospital. The video, which resurfaced online after being uploaded to YouTube in 2012, shows Moore initiating kisses with Tanzini multiple times. In the footage, Moore affectionately says, “I love him dearly. He’s one of my most favorite people… He’s truly terrific and I really love him.”
At the time, Moore was married to her first husband, Freddy Moore, but that did not stop her from engaging in this intimate behavior with her underage co-star. She also joked about marrying Tanzini, stating, “We’re going to get married, by the way. Don’t let her husband find out.”
The resurfacing of this video has attracted attention just as Moore is making headlines for her Golden Globe win, which has reignited discussions about her past.

Fans React in Outrage
The resurfacing of the video has led to widespread backlash from Moore’s fans. Many took to X (formerly Twitter) to express their shock and disgust. One fan wrote, “Everyone just forgetting about Demi Moore full on French kissing a kid now she’s made a half-decent TV show and movie?” Others were equally appalled, with some saying the video has made them reconsider their admiration for the actress.
Another user tweeted, “From congratulating Demi Moore to find out later she was passionately kissing a 15-year-old.” This revelation led some fans to demand that Moore’s Golden Globe be taken back, with one user stating, “Oh hell nah, take her award back IMMEDIATELY.”
While some fans defended Moore, arguing that the video should not be scrutinized too harshly given the time it was filmed, the controversy has sparked significant debate and divided public opinion.
Demi Moore’s Golden Globe Win and Emotional Speech
Amidst the backlash, Moore’s Golden Globe win for her performance in the critically acclaimed film The Substance has garnered praise. The actress, who has been in the industry for over 45 years, expressed her shock and gratitude during her acceptance speech, as this was her first-ever Golden Globe award.
“I’m just in shock right now,” Moore said, reflecting on the fact that it was her first win after such a long career. She also shared a powerful message in her speech, encouraging people to embrace their worth, even when they feel they are not “enough.” Her words resonated with the audience, and many admired her for speaking so openly about her struggles and triumphs.
After the ceremony, Moore celebrated her win with her daughters—Rumer, Scout, and Tallulah—whom she shares with ex-husband Bruce Willis.
The Kylie Jenner ‘Snub’ Controversy
In addition to the resurfaced video, Demi Moore made headlines when she was accused of snubbing Kylie Jenner at the Golden Globe event. A viral video showed Moore seemingly ignoring Jenner, which led to speculation about their relationship.
However, an insider close to Moore clarified that the interaction was not intentional. The source explained that Moore simply did not notice Jenner at the event, and there was no malicious intent behind the perceived snub. “Demi doesn’t know Kylie,” the insider said. “She raised her children in a much different manner than the Kardashians and they have different values.”
Tallulah Willis, Moore’s daughter, also took to Instagram to address the issue, stating that there was no snub. “Had she seen Kylie wanting to congratulate her, she would have given her the time and space,” Tallulah wrote.
Conclusion
Demi Moore’s career has always been marked by both extraordinary success and moments of controversy, and the resurfacing of this 1982 video has once again sparked public debate. While Moore continues to receive accolades, such as her recent Golden Globe win, the resurfaced footage has forced many to re-evaluate her past actions. The divide between those who celebrate her achievements and those who are appalled by her behavior is growing. As the conversation around her legacy continues, it remains to be seen how these events will shape her future public image. Nonetheless, Moore’s journey serves as a reminder of the complexities of fame, where both praise and criticism often come hand in hand.
