Emma Heming Willis refuted the claim that she was exploiting Bruce Willis’ illness for her own “five minutes” of fame.
Heming, who has been married to the “Die Hard” actor since 2009, recently disclosed that her husband’s fight with aphasia has progressed into Frontotemporal Dementia, and she has since made it her mission to raise awareness for his condition.
“I just saw something about me getting my ‘five minutes,’ which is great, which means that you’re listening,” the mom of two said in an Instagram video shared Wednesday.

“So, I’m going to take my five minutes and I’m gonna turn it into 10 because I’m always going to advocate for my husband.”
Heming vowed to “raise awareness” about the illness and “for caregivers, who are unsung heroes out there.”
“And then I’m going to turn my grief and my anger and my sadness into something good around something that feels less than,” she said, adding, “Watch this space because I didn’t come to play.”
Willis’ family stated in a detailed statement from last month that his condition had gotten worse.
