Scout Willis is reacting to her sister Tallulah Willis' comments about their former stepdad Ashton Kutcher.

On Thursday, April 9, the 33-year-old actress spoke to Entertainment Tonight at the premiere for The Carters, sharing her reaction to comments her sister Tallulah, 31, recently made on social media.

Scout, who is the daughter of Demi Moore and Bruce Willis, agreed with her sister, saying that after Moore's divorce from Kutcher, everything was handled "with a lot of mutual respect."

"She made a rare comment about stepdad Ashton Kutcher, and she said no one has to be the bad guy," ET's Cassie DiLaura told Scout, who noted she hadn't been online that day to see Tallulah's comments.

“No, and I don’t think so. That’s not the way I hold it [or] my mom holds it," Scout replied. "I think, since my parents divorced when I was young, it’s always been handled with absolute grace and love, and I think that really is the way forward for everything. It’s just like putting the children first and just handling everything with a lot of mutual respect."

When DiLaura mentioned Tallulah's additional comments that "it probably should've been a private message," Scout added, "Well, Tallulah is not nothing if not vulnerable and wonderful online."

Tallulah first made the comments about her former stepdad on Gwyneth Paltrow's Instagram post where she spoke about her recent podcast episode with husband Brad Falchuk, in which they discussed stepparenting in their blended family. She noted in her message that she is familiar with the topic.

"I have a lot to say on this! Especially how to move through an ex-step parent ❤️❤️," wrote Tallulah, whose mom, Moore, remarried Kutcher when Tallulah was 11. Moore and Kutcher were together from 2005 to 2013, until the pair divorced.

When another commenter asked if she was referring to Kutcher, Tallulah wrote, "This maybe should have been a private message lol but yes I have personal experience with this."

She later added, "It's an important conversation tbh ☀️," and "also. No one needs to be bad guy for a situation to be healed. there's room for everyone."

Moore married Kutcher in 2005, three years after her divorce from her ex, Bruce. Kutcher, who was 25 at the time, is 15 years younger than The Substance actress. After their divorce in 2013, Kutcher went on to marry his That 70's Show costar, Mila Kunis, and is now dad to two kids.

Tallulah has previously opened up about her experience when her mom began dating Kutcher. In a June 2023 episode of Fox's reality series Stars on Mars, the actress said she didn't quite grasp the gravity of how famous her parents were while she lived in Idaho as a kid.

"I knew my parents had this job that made them like this thing and we got to do cool stuff, but I didn't fully understand," she told other cast members on the show, after Ronda Rousey asked about Tallulah's experience growing up with famous parents.

She then went on to admit that she went through difficult times after Moore began dating Kutcher in 2003.

“It was like, 2003, my mom had just started dating Ashton, it was that moment," Tallulah told her fellow Stars on Mars castmates during the episode. "There was a lot going on. And I really went inside of myself and that did send me into a total dumpster fire."

"It was really hard, and I’m still unpacking," she added of coming to grips with her family's fame amidst the end of her parents' relationship and Moore's marriage to Kutcher. "However, I found the other side of that, which is like — I really love myself now, and I love my family. I love my family."
