Demi Moore has defended her daughter Rumer Willis in a custody dispute with her ex-partner Derek Richard Thomas, according to court documents. Thomas filed for custody of their three-year-old daughter Louetta last summer, and Willis responded with allegations of emotional abuse during their two-year relationship. In a declaration, Moore stated that she witnessed Thomas attempting to control Rumer's environment, particularly during the birth of Louetta. Moore described an incident where Thomas entered the birthing tub without permission and behaved in a manner that was disruptive during the labor process. She also noted that Thomas expressed anger towards the presence of Moore and Rumer's siblings after the birth. Moore claimed that Thomas's actions created stress for Rumer and undermined her support system. In response, Thomas denied Moore's allegations, stating that her claims were based on hearsay and that Rumer had expressed a desire for privacy after Louetta's birth. The custody case is set to be addressed in court on June 9.
