Recovery operations resumed in Maryland on Wednesday (March 27) as efforts continued to locate the six individuals presumed dead in the aftermath of the tragic collapse of Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge.

The incident occurred early Tuesday when a 985-foot-long vessel struck the bridge, causing portions of it to plummet into the Patapsco River. Among the missing were six construction workers from Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador, as per CNN.

However, the US Coast Guard has now stated that it has concluded the men have died and that it intends to suspend its massive search and rescue effort.

One of the individuals identified was 49-year-old Miguel Luna, a husband and father of three originally from El Salvador, who had called Maryland his home for nearly twenty years. Luna was part of the crew tasked with repairing potholes on the bridge when the collapse occurred, the BBC detailed.

Miguel Luna’s wife, María del Carmen Castellón, expressed her devastation as the family anxiously awaited news amidst ongoing recovery efforts.

“They only tell us that we have to wait, that for now, they can’t give us information. [We feel] devastated, devastated because our heart is broken, because we don’t know if they’ve rescued them yet. We’re just waiting to hear any news,” Maria lamented in an interview with Telemundo 44.

Another victim, Maynor Yassir Suazo Sandoval, 38, was also identified among the missing workers. Hailing from Honduras, Maynor was a married father of an 18-year-old son and a 5-year-old daughter. He had resided in the US for about eighteen years, according to his brother Martin Suazo.

The six workers, including Maynor, were engaged in pothole repair activities on the bridge in the early hours of Tuesday morning when the collapse transpired. They were employed by local contractor Brawner Builders, which undertakes maintenance contracts for bridges in Maryland.

Jeffrey Pritzker, a senior executive at Brawner Builders, expressed profound shock at the unforeseen nature of the incident, emphasizing the company’s commitment to safety.

“This was so completely unforeseen,” Jeffrey remarked. “We don’t know what else to say. We take such great pride in safety, and we have cones and signs and lights and barriers and flaggers. But we never foresaw that the bridge would collapse.”

Our deepest sympathies go out to the families of those missing and presumed dead.

McDonald’s has turned its golden arches upside down to make an interesting statement.

To honor all women and remind them that they are all wonderful in their own way, one of the world’s greatest fast-food chain restaurants, McDonald’s, turned their famed arches upside down.

This occurred in 2018, when the corporation chose to reverse Mickey’s arches on March 8th, International Women’s Day, a “global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women.”

This occurred in 2018, when the corporation chose to reverse Mickey’s arches on March 8th, International Women’s Day, a “global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women.”

Some of those who noticed the change and couldn’t believe their eyes when they thought they’d entered a parallel planet thought it had something to do with the then-company’s ongoing conflict with Wendy’s. But they were completely wrong. Instead, the emblem had been inverted in a “celebration of women everywhere,” according to a spokesman.

McDonald’s decided to flip the sign at their Lynwood, CA location but kept the logos the same on social media. At the same time, personnel wore the “W”-like emblem on their shirts and hats, while restaurants served special packaging with the logo in 100 locations across the country.

“For the first time in our brand’s history, we flipped our iconic arches for International Women’s Day to honor the extraordinary accomplishments of women everywhere, especially in our restaurants.” Wendy Lewis, McDonald’s Chief Diversity Officer, stated.Lauren Altman, the company’s representative, stated that the new design was created to honor women everywhere. “We have a long history of empowering women in the workplace, allowing them to grow and succeed.”

“In the United States, we take pride in our diversity, and we are proud to share that today, six out of ten restaurant managers are women,” she continued. The company’s logo will be modified across all social media channels, and 100 locations will receive new “packaging, crew shirts, hats, and bag stuffers.”

McDonald’s isn’t the first firm to honor women and raise awareness about the significance of gender equality.

Previously, Johnnie Walker recognized women by issuing a ‘Jane Walker’ bottle and donated $1 each bottle to organizations dedicated to improving women’s status.

“Important gender conversations remain at the forefront of culture.” And we believe there is no better time than now to debut our Jane Walker emblem and support forward-thinking groups that share our goal,” said Stephanie Jacoby, vice president of Johnnie Walker. “We are proud to toast the many accomplishments of women and everyone on the path to gender equality.”

Brawny was one of the companies that contributed to the project by replacing the Brawny Man with a woman and donated $100,000 to Girls, Inc.

Queen Camilla’s ‘secret’ role to help Kate Middleton, revealed

ADVERTISEMENT

As King Charles and Kate Middleton are undergoing cancer treatment – which all began in January when King Charles first received his diagnosis and Kate underwent abdominal surgery – other royal family members have had to step up. Prince William and Queen Camilla have taken on a massive responsibility regarding engagements, and the schedule has changed. 

Prince William and Queen Camilla have been praised for their work ethic, considering the small number of working royals in the last few months, but it has also taken its toll.

Kate Middleton and Queen Camilla have much in common. They are both married into the royal family and, at one point or another, the two have had to deal with a lot of scrutiny from the press and the public. In Kate’s case, that happened just weeks ago, as her Mother’s Day picture turned out to have been manipulated. However, even though it has been a challenging period, the Princess of Wales has also gotten a lot of support, not least from Queen Camilla – who’s shown her support beautifully.

The royal family is going through a really rough time. King Charles has been battling cancer since January, and last week, Kate Middleton shared her cancer diagnosis to the world.

The Princess of Wales underwent abdominal surgery in January, and up until last week, no one knew what her exact medical condition was. Speculations about her health and her marriage to Prince William have been ongoing for months. But on Friday, as Kate released the emotional video through the Prince and Princess of Wales’ social media pages, it shut down conspiracy theorists and the many celebrities that had pretty much mocked her online.

Kate Midleton – cancer diagnosis statement

Kate Middleton’s complete statement read;

I wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you, personally, for all the wonderful messages of support and for your understanding whilst I have been recovering from surgery.

It has been an incredibly tough couple of months for our entire family, but I’ve had a fantastic medical team who have taken great care of me, for which I am so grateful.

In January, I underwent major abdominal surgery in London and at the time, it was thought that my condition was non-cancerous. The surgery was successful. However, tests after the operation found cancer had been present. My medical team, therefore, advised that I should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy, and I am now in the early stages of that treatment.

This, of course, came as a huge shock, and William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family.

As you can imagine, this has taken time. It has taken me time to recover from major surgery in order to start my treatment. But, most importantly, it has taken us time to explain everything to George, Charlotte, and Louis in a way that is appropriate for them and to reassure them that I am going to be ok.

As I have said to them; I am well and getting stronger every day by focusing on the things that will help me heal; in my mind, body, and spirits.

Having William by my side is a great source of comfort and reassurance, too. As is the love, support, and kindness that has been shown by so many of you. It means so much to us both.

We hope that you will understand that, as a family, we now need some time, space, and privacy while I complete my treatment. My work has always brought me a deep sense of joy, and I look forward to being back when I am able, but for now, I must focus on making a full recovery.

At this time, I am also thinking of all those whose lives have been affected by cancer. For everyone facing this disease, in whatever form, please do not lose faith or hope. You are not alone.

“Please do not lose faith or hope”

When Kate Middleton went into surgery, Prince William stepped up and took on a lot of responsibility. Not only has he helped Queen Camilla with royal duties while the king and princess recover, but he also cares for the couple’s three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.

The future king is undoubtedly a hands-on dad, doing the school runs back and forth and helping around the house more significantly.

Like Prince William, Queen Camilla has received significant praise in recent months. She has had a very rocky time within the royal sphere, as her early affair with King Charles made her very unpopular among the British public and in the press. However, the tides have turned.

Camilla is becoming increasingly popular, and many have praised her for her commitment, especially for handling her royal duties while King Charles is undergoing cancer treatments.

Queen Camilla praised for her commitment during King Charles’ cancer treatments

As late as this week, royal expert Angela Levin appeared on GB News, saying that Queen Camilla is “holding the royal family up.”

“I mean, to wait till you’re 73 is a long time before you can take the crown. I think obviously, at his age, it’s very difficult, but he’s very determined, and he’s only really just started to be king,” Levin said. “Supporting him very much, absolutely by his side, is Queen Camilla, who is going to all the engagements that they would have gone to together on her own.”

“And so that way he will feel it’s still moving, it’s still running, and they can discuss it and talk about it. And I think that’s marvelous. I mean, she is holding the Royal Family up and being strong. If you imagine 30 years ago, people were saying the whole Royal Family would absolutely disintegrate, and she would be of no use.”

Levin added that Camilla has revealed she doesn’t like the spotlight. However, she’s become very “accessible” and makes people laugh when meeting members of the public.

“To support her husband. She understands him very well because they’ve been together for over 50 years, before they even got married. it’s a long time and they make each other laugh,” Angela Levin added while appearing on GB News.

“They have the same sense of humor, they understand each other, and if you see them when they’re out, they move together. It’s very tandem.”

Kate Middleton was scrutinized by the media before marrying Prince William

As mentioned, Queen Camilla had a tough time being accepted by the press and public when she joined the royal family. The same went for Kate Middleton, at least from the media.

Despite coming from a middle-class background, Kate was labeled “a commoner.”

Before the couple announced their engagement in 2010, the now-princess was nicknamed “Waity Katie” and “Lazy Katie.” According to Buckingham Palace officials, this was a reference to the fact that Middleton had recently quit her job to “prepare for her future life.”

As the years went by, Kate Middleton became increasingly popular. Today, the Princess of Wales is the most popular royal family member, and as late as March, an IPSOS poll showed that Kate is the nation’s favorite royal, chosen by 38%, just ahead of her husband, Prince William, with 36%.

Following her abdominal surgery in January, royal fans worldwide were worried about her health status. Still, as she posted a picture of her and her children on Mother’s Day, many could finally relax. However, as we all know today, things escalated in the complete opposite way.

As the picture was proven to have been badly edited and manipulated, Kate Middleton had to publicly apologize for posting it herself. We don’t know exactly how much damage it did to her popularity among the public, but some argue it surely did.

Despite the feud with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, in which Kate Middleton’s public image was badly hurt following the revelations the Duke and Duchess of Sussex made, the princess hasn’t been through a media scrutiny period since she became officially royal.

Queen Camilla provides Kate Middleton with support through public scrutiny

The cancer diagnosis announcement video, of course, showed that there was a reason behind her silence. However, arguments have been raised that the fact that she put out a manipulated picture of herself and her children was bad enough.

As Kate Middleton became the subject of much scrutiny after the Mother’s Day picture, Camilla became a crucial support source for the Princess of Wales.

In an interview with Today, The Telegraph’s associate editor, Camilla Tominey, claimed that the queen “has been trying to help [Catherine] through the media storm aspect in all of this.”

Tominey said, “I think before [Catherine] made the announcement because she was having to cope with the fallout of everything that was said about the Mother’s Day photo and everything else, I think Camilla lent some support.”

“Because let’s be honest, [Camilla] knows what it’s like to have a difficult press. She knows what it’s like to shepherd children through a media storm,” she added.

If there is one person in the royal family who knows what it’s like to be scrutinized by both the media and the public, it’s Queen Camilla.

In 1994, then-Prince Charles revealed that he had been unfaithful to Diana. It was the first time Charles had confirmed the rumors, but his mistress’ identity wasn’t revealed.

However, later the same month, Jonathan Dimbelby released an authorized biography about Charles, confirming the person he had been having an affair with was Camilla.

Queen Camilla was afraid of leaving her house after her affair with Charles was made public

Exactly how affected the now-queen was by the public disclosure of her affair with Charles hadn’t been known. But in a 2023 interview with OK Magazine, royal expert Angela Levin, author of Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall: A Royal Survivor, revealed that Camilla had to endure “torrents” of mistreatment from the public.

In fact, she was even afraid of leaving her house to go shopping.

“It was very difficult for her, as she was portrayed as the most wicked woman in the world. She was constantly called nasty names like ‘rottweiler,’ and it must have come as a huge shock that people were so vile about her,” Levin said.

Levin went on, “I don’t think Charles realized how awful it was for her. He was often away on engagements and working hard for the country and Commonwealth, and at the time, Camilla didn’t have protection officers because she wasn’t part of the Royal Family. But when Charles finally realized, he did get protection for her, which he paid for himself.”

Camilla became increasingly popular among the public as the years went by. Even so, Angela Levin suspects she “must still bear the scars of it all.”

Divers recover two bodies from inside submerged pickup truck after Baltimore bridge collapse

Divers have recovered the bodies of two construction workers who went into the water in their pickup truck during the Baltimore bridge collapse earlier this week.

As per reports, cargo ship Dali hit the Francis Scott Key Bridge in the early hours of Tuesday morning on March 26. The collision occurred just prior to 1:30am in Maryland, USA, prompting a huge search and rescue operation amid the confusion and chaos.

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) are in the process of reviewing the voyage data recorder recovered by the Coast Guard in order to build a timeline of events regarding what caused the crash. Dali left Baltimore at 12:45am local time and was headed for Colombo, Sri Lanka before appearing to lose power minutes before it hit the bridge.

Reports claim at least eight people went into the water. Two were rescued, while a further two have now been found and identified as Alejandro Hernandez Fuentes, 35, and Dorlian Ronial Castillo Cabrera, 26, both of whom were working at the time of the incident.

Tragically, the remaining missing persons are now presumed dead.

“Based on the length of time that we’ve gone in this search… (and) the water temperature… at this point we do not believe that we’re going to find any of these individuals still alive,” Coast Guard Rear Admiral Shannon Gilreath explained.

Yesterday (Wednesday, March 27) Wes Moore, governor of Maryland, told reporters: “We’ve got to give these families closure.

“My promise to them is this: I will devote every single resource to make sure that you receive closure.”

Of the rescue divers he continued: “They are down there in darkness where they can literally see about a foot in front of them.

“They are trying to navigate mangled metal, and they’re also in a place it is now presumed that people have lost their lives.”

One of the individuals yet missing is 49-year-old Miguel Luna, a husband and father of three originally from El Salvador, who had called Maryland his home for nearly twenty years.

Luna was part of the crew tasked with repairing potholes on the bridge when the collapse occurred, as per the BBC.

Miguel Luna’s wife, María del Carmen Castellón, expressed her devastation as the family anxiously awaited news amidst ongoing recovery efforts.

“They only tell us that we have to wait, that for now, they can’t give us information. [We feel] devastated, devastated because our heart is broken, because we don’t know if they’ve rescued them yet. We’re just waiting to hear any news,” Maria lamented in an interview with Telemundo 44.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of those who lost their lives in this terrible accident, as well as those still anxiously waiting on news.

Little-known picture of Johnny Depp at 60 sparks intense discussion online

ADVERTISEMENT

Johnny Depp is without doubt one of the most popular actors of his generation, a handsome, talented, charismatic leading man who has proven that he carries the panache and pomp to front hit movies time and time again.

It doesn’t seem all that long ago that Depp was the young poster boy of Hollywood, a captivating figure with deep brown eyes, chiseled cheekbones and a cocksure manner that stole the hearts of the masses.

Which is why I was quite taken back when I realized the other day that the Pirates of the Caribbean star is now 60 years old! Of course, it’s not lost on me that we humans all age at the same pace, but I had to stop for a moment to process the information.

I guess what makes celebrities aging all the more peculiar is that they do it in front of our eyes, even though in most instances we’ve never met them.

Those true, bonafide A-listers who are able to enjoy success in the big leagues for decades often enter the game as young, fresh-faced newcomers, then mature over time, getting older with each role they take on.

Not only that, but given the vast libraries of photos taken of celebrities over their years in the spotlight – there’s got to be hundreds for virtually every event or red carpet they attend – it’s easy to look back at the journey said star has gone through as he or she has aged.

Now, we’ll make it clear right now that there is absolutely nothing strange or ridicule-worthy about getting older. As we age, our appearances naturally change to reflect the years we’ve lived, and it’s no different for celebrities, irrespective of how much money they spend on surgeries or groundbreaking new lotions to keep themselves looking as young as possible.

Perhaps that’s why it’s so strange when fans feel the need to make a big deal about a certain celebrity’s aged appearance. Nevertheless, it’s something that happens often. It’s one thing to express an opinion about botched Botox, or to praise another’s efforts if they’ve shed weight in a bid to stay healthy, but quite another to make remarks about how an individual looks compared to how they maybe did while in their youth.

In any case, Johnny Depp recently became the subject of an internet discussion after a little-known picture of the actor from 2022 surfaced. The image in question was shared to Instagram by guitarist and artist Micki Free, but ended up with a boat load of comments arguing that Depp is no longer the heartthrob he once was.

“Doesn’t even look like the same person! Wow!” one person wrote of Depp.

“That doesn’t even look close to Johnny. Is that the original one?????” another said.

A third added: “Is it really [him]? Omg. That’s sad.”

A fourth, meanwhile, said: “Wow…he used to be good-looking and masculine.”

Depp was actually a two-time recipient of People’s Sexiest Man Alive title – once in 2003 and then again in 2009 – reflecting his status as a sex symbol the world over.

In more recent years Depp has withdrawn from Hollywood, taking up residence in England, where he feels like he can be himself without the constant flashing of cameras.

Kate Middleton sends secret message to public with striped sweater from cancer diagnosis video

If you paid close enough attention, you may have noticed something familiar about Princess Kate’s emotional cancer diagnosis video.

Yes, it was reminiscent of that time Meghan Markle sat on a bench in a garden and made a virtual appearance at the Global Citizen’s VAX Live: The Concert to Reunite the World, but that’s not what we’re talking about.

Take a closer look at Kate Middleton‘s clothes, particularly her striped sweater. It’s been suggested there’s a poignant reason she chose to wear that specific sweater.

During her video, Kate wore a nautical striped sweater, which she has worn several times before.

It’s been said the princess went with the £650 ($821) sweater not only because it was reminiscent of happier times, but it also served to remind the public that Kate was not only royalty but a “school-run mum, a wife and a homemaker.”

Dressed in jeans and a comfortable sweater, Kate delivered the heartbreaking news that she had been diagnosed with cancer.

Her emotional announcement came weeks after conspiracy theories and rumors about her whereabouts swept the internet.

“In January, I underwent major abdominal surgery in London and at the time, it was thought that my condition was non-cancerous,” she began. “The surgery was successful.

But, most importantly, it has taken us time to explain everything to George, Charlotte and Louis in a way that is appropriate for them, and to reassure them that I am going to be ok.”

She then went on to assure the public that she was not only “well,” but “getting stronger every day.”

Kate ended her somber video message asking for continued privacy as she continued her course of treatment.

“We hope that you will understand that, as a family, we now need some time, space and privacy while I complete my treatment. My work has always brought me a deep sense of joy and I look forward to being back when I am able, but for now I must focus on making a full recovery.”

Fox News host leads prayer on air – causes a major debate online

ADVERTISEMENT

You never really expect to see a news channel showing their anchors lead prayer on air because, usually, channels will want to keep things secular for their viewers. Fox News host Pete Hegseth, however, had some other ideas.

Keep reading to know more about what happened!

Fox News host Pete Hegseth asked “Fox & Friends” co-hosts and viewers to bow their heads in prayer on Sunday. The host did so in a segment sponsored by a Bible app.

“We have more ‘Fox and Friends’ coming up, but you know what, this is a transition for transitions if you’ve ever had one,” he said as he laughed.

Weekend co-host Rachel Campos-Duffy then joined in and said, “So ‘Fox and Friends.’”

“This is very ‘Fox and Friends,’” Hegseth concurred, “so ready your heart.”

“It’s the 5th Sunday of Lent, and our prayer series continues with the reading of prayer from the Hallow app,” Hegseth went on. “We all need it, let’s do it this morning, close your eyes — if you would, bow your head.”

He then began reading the prayer on-screen from the Hallow app while his co-hosts Campos-Duffy and Will Cain bowed their heads in respect.

“Jesus, today we begin the holy period of passion tide,” Hegseth read. “In these last 2 weeks of Lent, help us understand the mystery of your sacrifice and surrender, make us keenly aware of your love for us. We ask that you make yourself known to us, help us to feel the grace of your presence.”

Hegseth thanked Christ for the “selfless love you showed on the cross” before he concluded by saying, “Thank you again to Hallow for this partnership during Lent.”

“Amen,” Campos-Duffy chimed in.

According to the Huffington Post, Fox News aired a part of the segment on Ash Wednesday in regards to the Hallow app. In connection with the sponsorship, actor Mark Wahlberg was invited as a guest.

This is not the first time a Fox News host has expressed their faith on-air. Previously on a segment concerning Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson, host Kayleigh McEnany said, “I really believe he thinks God is leading the way — this will all get figured out.”

“To everyone out there, pray for him as our speaker,” co-host Ainsley Earhardt said on the same episode of Johnson. “Our country really needs some guidance from God right now.”

While every American has the freedom to practice religion, it seems that this prayer on-air might have offended some people. One person commented, “These people don’t praise God the rest of time. It’s a political stunt to make you believe they do. Fox news spreads falsehoods and conspiracy theories, remember they paid a hefty fine for doing so. Hypocrisy at its best!!”

While another added, “about as religious as a rock.” Another disgruntled viewer wrote, “These people praying is a joke. They sit there everyday and lie threw their mouths. You never hear the truth about anything. So please give me a break.”

It seems not everyone was convinced by the prayer, believing it to be manufactured, But there were dozens of people who thought it was a great initiative!

Woman leaves boyfriend’s dog at shelter while he was at work

In this story, one man found himself at the center of a conflict between love and loyalty after his unwavering commitment to his rescue dog, Cookie, became a point of contention in his relationship.

John’s journey with Cookie, a little pup with one eye, began when he walked into a local shelter and immediately felt a deep connection with the canine.

At the time, John was grappling with the profound loss of his parents in a tragic car accident, leading him to the brink of despair. Yet, in Cookie, he found not only a loyal companion but a source of solace and strength.

Their bond quickly became inseparable, with Cookie providing John with unwavering support and love during his darkest days. As John navigated the challenges of grief and recovery, Cookie remained a constant presence by his side, offering comfort and companionship in the face of adversity.

When John met Lauren, his girlfriend, he was upfront about Cookie and their special bond. However, as their relationship progressed and discussions of moving in together arose, tensions began to surface. Lauren expressed concerns about accommodating Cookie in their future plans, leading to heated debates and disagreements between the couple.

Despite John’s unwavering commitment to Cookie, Lauren made it clear that she was unwilling to compromise on the matter. The situation reached a boiling point when Lauren took drastic action, deciding to remove Cookie from their shared home and take him to a local shelter without John’s consent.

The betrayal left John devastated, grappling with the painful realization that Lauren could not understand the depth of his bond with Cookie. For John, Cookie was more than just a pet; he was family, a symbol of resilience and healing in the wake of tragedy.

In the aftermath of Lauren’s actions, John was faced with a difficult decision: to prioritize his relationship with Lauren or to stand by his beloved companion, Cookie. Ultimately, John chose loyalty over compromise, reaffirming his commitment to the dog who had stood by him during his darkest days.

As John navigates the aftermath of this emotional ordeal, he remains steadfast in his belief that Cookie is more than just a pet; he is a cherished member of his family and a source of unwavering love and support.

Bruce Willis and Demi Moore’s daughter Tallulah reveals recent diagnosis

ADVERTISEMENT

Inspired by her father’s bold and public battle with frontotemporal dementia, Tallulah Willis – the youngest of the Demi Moore and Bruce Willis clan – revealed a diagnosis of her own.

Recently, the 30-year-old shared a sweet childhood moment of her dad carrying her on the red carpet, hinting that as an adult, she’d received a surprising diagnosis.

Keep reading to learn more about Tallulah’s condition!

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 15th 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.
