Razzies Rescind Their Bruce Willis Award Following Backlash Due to Aphasia Reveal: ‘We Acknowledge That It Is Not Appropriate’

Actress and stuntwoman Kelly Greyson is opening up about her time working with Bruce Willis, who she champions for his authenticity and professionalism on and off film sets. Greyson last filmed with Willis a little over a year ago for "Fortress: Sniper's Eye," the second installment of "Fortress." Jesse Metcalfe and Chad Michael Murray also star in the action-packed flick.  In an interview with Fox News Digital, Greyson said she was unaware of Willis' aphasia diagnosis at the time she worked with him, but believes his retirement from acting should remind everyone of the incredible legacy he's built.

Bruce Willis‘ family revealed that he was diagnosed with aphasia, a condition that affects the ability to communicate. Because of this, he has made the decision to retire from acting.

Bruce Willis and his family are spending extra time together and reflecting on their many memories amid his aphasia diagnosis. On March 30, the star's loved ones announced that he was stepping away from acting after being diagnosed with aphasia, a condition that causes loss of the ability to understand or express speech. A source told People magazine in this week’s cover story that Willis’ family has displayed a united front.

Bruce Willis’ wife Emma is doing all she can to help the actor following his shock aphasia diagnosis. The model, 43, is “working with several medical professionals” to help the Hollywood star in his battle against the cognitive impairment. A source close to the couple told People that the diagnosis has “been hard for” Emma as “it’s not easy seeing a spouse decline”.

Rumer Willis is opening up about the impact her dad Bruce Willis has had on her life following the announcement the actor is stepping away from acting due to his aphasia diagnosis.

"I love you Daddio, to the [moon emoji] and Back," Rumer wrote in a post shared to Instagram on Friday.

That didn’t age well. The ever-sarcastic Razzie Awards have retracted their special category for Worst Performance by Bruce Willis, whose retirement due to illness was announced Wednesday.

The Razzie Awards will no longer be giving a “special award” to Bruce Willis following the actor’s diagnosis with aphasia.

Yesterday, it was announced by Bruce Willis‘ family that the action star would be stepping away from acting. Willis has been diagnosed with aphasia, a neurological condition that affects the ability to speak, write or understand language.

One day after Bruce Willis’ family announced the actor was taking a step back from acting after being diagnosed with the cognitive condition aphasia, the Golden Raspberry Awards are rescinding Willis’ recent “worst performance” award.

“Worst Performance by Bruce Willis in 2021” award after much backlash. In a joint statement given to the Post, the award show’s cofounders, John Wilson and Mo Murphy, said, “After much thought and consideration, the Razzies have made the decision to rescind the Razzie Award given to Bruce Willis, due to his recently disclosed diagnosis.”Willis, 67, revealed that he was diagnosed with the brain disorder aphasia on March 30 and decided to take a step back from acting.The statement continued, “If someone’s medical condition is a factor in their decision making and/or their performance, we acknowledge that it is not appropriate to give them a Razzie.”The organizers also told the Post that they will be taking back “The Shining” star Shelley Duvall’s Razzie as well.“As we recently mentioned in a Vulture interview, extenuating circumstances also apply to Shelley Duvall in ‘The Shining,'” they added.“We have since discovered that Duvall’s performance was impacted by Stanley Kubrick’s treatment of her throughout the production.

decision to stand by their “Worst Performance by Bruce Willis in 2021” award. “After much thought and consideration, the Razzies have made the decision to rescind the Razzie Award given to Bruce Willis, due to his recently disclosed diagnosis,” a statement by co-founders John Wilson and Mo Murphy says.“If someone’s medical condition is a factor in their decision making and/or their performance, we acknowledge that it is not appropriate to give them a Razzie.” Willis’ family announced on Wednesday that the actor had been diagnosed with the cognitive disorder aphasia and was stepping away from acting.The Razzie Awards came under fire on Wednesday for refusing to rescind the special award for Willis, and for making an inflammatory Tweet.

Scout Willis, daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, is grateful for the "outpouring of love" her family has received since they disclosed her father’s aphasia diagnosis. "The exquisite outpouring of love that I am experiencing right now is just blowing me away," the 30-year-old wrote on her Instagram story Wednesday. "Thank you all for showing up with so much tenderness and stunning love for my daddio and my whole family!" she added.

diagnosis with the brain disorder aphasia is effectively ending his career — so it would seem inappropriate to make him the butt of bad movie jokes. However, the Golden Raspberry Awards (aka the Razzies) has announced that they are “still discussing” awarding the 67-year-old with the snarky “Worst Performance by Bruce Willis in a 2021 movie” despite his illness.
