Demi Moore berates audience at star-studded amfAR Gala during Cher tribute: ‘I f–king don’t think so’
Demi Moore had some choice words for a rowdy audience member at Thursday’s star-studded amfAR Cinema Against AIDS Cannes Gala in Cap d’Antibes, France.
The “Ghost” actress, 61, was onstage introducing global icon Cher, 78, with a glittering tribute when an attendee at the back of the Hotel du Cap, Eden Roc auditorium seemingly interrupted her speech.
In a video shared on X by Vanity Fair’s Ramin Setoodeh, Moore can be seen holding a mic as she tells the audience, “I’m going to see if this is the moment we’ve all been waiting for.”
After some lackluster cheers from the crowd, the “Indecent Proposal” star continued, “I’m just making sure that you’re really, really with me.”
“Because this incredible woman that I’m about to introduce — she’s a Grammy winner, an Oscar winner, an Emmy winner.”
However, the “Disclosure” actress heard a comment from someone in the audience, which prompted her to pause for a brief second.
“Are you an Emmy winner over there in the back of the room? I f–king don’t think so,” she told the unidentified guest.
It’s unclear what was said to spark Moore’s ire.
The tongue-in-cheek comment earned some laughter and cheers from the audience, as Moore continued to introduce the “Believe” hitmaker to the stage.
“She’s a style icon and my personal hair inspiration. And she was honored by amfAR for their award of inspiration in 2015,” she said.
“The bottom line is she is just one of the most talented, successful, and best-loved performers of all time.”
“So please, please give a warm welcome to the incredible, one and only, Cher,” added Moore, whose film “The Substance” caused a stir at Cannes.
Page Six has reached out to her reps for comment.
Some of the world’s biggest stars have flocked to the French Rivera this week for the Cannes Film Festival.
Michelle Yeoh, Heidi Klum, Kelly Rowland, Andie MacDowell, Diane Kruger, and Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, were just some of the stars in attendance at the 30th annual amfAR gala, which raises money for AIDS research.
Rowland had her scolding moment earlier this week when she appeared to have an altercation with a female security guard on the red carpet.
She has since spoken out about the heated exchange, saying she’s happy she “stood my ground.”
“That woman knows what happened. I know what happened,” she said while attending Thursday’s gala. “I have a boundary and I stand by those boundaries.”
“There were other women that attended that carpet who did not quite look like me and they didn’t get scolded, or pushed off, or told to get off,” Rowland continued. “I stood my ground and she felt like she had to stand hers. But I stood my ground.”
