Demi
Moore
has
shared
horrific
incidents
from
her
life
in
her
memoir
'Inside
Out'.
The
actress
revealed
that
she
was
raped
at
the
age
of
15
by
a
man
who
knew
her
mother.
Speaking
to
Diane
Sawyer
on
ABC's
Good
Morning
America,
Demi
recounted
that
she
once
returned
home
to
find
an
older
man
sitting
in
her
apartment
with
a
key
to
the
house.
It
was
revealed
on
the
show,
while
reading
an
excerpt
from
her
memoir,
that
the
man
claimed
that
she
had
been
sold
by
her
mother
for
$500.
Recounting
the
disturbing
incident
in
her
memoir,
she
wrote,
"It
was
rape
and
a
devastating
betrayal
revealed
by
the
man's
cruel
question,
'How
does
it
feel
to
be
wh**ed
by
your
mother
for
$500?'"
When
Demi
was
asked
if
her
mother
knew
that
she
was
accepting
the
money
for
this,
she
said,
"I
think
in
my
deep
heart,
no.
I
don't
think
it
was
a
straightforward
transaction,
but
she
still
did
give
him
the
access
and
put
me
in
harm's
way."
Demi
was
brought
up
in
a
household
with
parents
who
battled
alcoholism
and
mental
illnesses.
In
her
book,
she
has
written
that
her
childhood
was
over
when
her
mother
first
attempted
suicide
when
she
was
12.
She
later
dropped
out
of
high
school
and
left
home
to
pursue
a
career
in
show
business
but
started
abusing
drugs
during
that
time.
However,
she
pursued
her
dreams
and
managed
to
get
her
first
break
at
the
age
of
19,
when
she
signed
General
Hospital.
It
is
reported
that
Demi
has
also
written
about
her
suffering
a
miscarriage
while
dating
Ashton
Kutcher.
Demi
has
dedicated
Inside
Out
to
her
three
daughters
and
her
mother.
