Bruce Willis’ wife begs paparazzi not to yell at him in the street
The "Die Hard" actor's wife, Emma Heming Willis, has asked paparazzi to refrain from approaching him and to keep their distance.
There is still a lot of education regarding dementia patients that needs to be put forth, Heming Willis said in an emotional video she posted on her Instagram page over the weekend.
The 44-year-old model described how "difficult and stressful it can be to get someone out into the world
and to navigate them safely," recalling a recent incident in which photographers attempted to speak to the ailing actor as he made a rare public
appearance to meet friends for coffee in Santa Monica. She remarked in the video, "Please keep your space to the photographers
and the film guys that are trying to capture those exclusives of my husband out and about.
I realize this is your responsibility, but perhaps just respect your space. For the video people,
please don't be shouting at my husband asking him how he's doing or whatever — the 'woohooing' and the 'yippee ki-yays',"
she continued. Don't do it at all. OK? Give him some room. Provide our family or whoever is with him that day the ability to safely transport him from point A to point B.
