For example, this week Tallulah Willis, the youngest daughter of actors Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, used the power of social media to talk directly to the public to discuss how Hilton's mockery made her actually suicidal in the past.
Willis inherited much of her father's well-known facial structure, because that is how genetics work. In the past, Hilton mocked her for her chin, a writing decision that reverberated through the tabloids and was often repeated.
Now an adult, Willis posed a set of photos on Instagram comparing pictures of herself and her father and expressed pride in her facial features.
"The face, the smile, dare I say it the chin (hey @perez remember when you bullied a 13 year old for money?) that made me want to end it all, is now the most precious gift I could be bestowed with. I used to not be able to say the word chin out loud."
She was not the only one to take it on the proverbial chin.
Other daughters of famous parents shared their own stories, including Ireland Baldwin (dad actor Alec Baldwin) and Sailor Brinkley Cook (mom model Christie Brinkley).

But Willis is an adult now, and seemed to be truly grateful for sharing her dad's features.
"!! My Lordy! if I am NOT this man’s child 💛💛 Wow this is making me so full and emotional this early Wednesday morning."
Her father, actor Bruce Willis, has retired from acting. He was first diagnosed with aphasia in 2022, then with frontotemporal dementia in 2024. There is no cure for that type of dementia, so it is especially poignant that Tallulah Willis has chosen to publicly celebrate her connection to him, even the ones that were mocked in the past.
Many commenters shared that sentiment.

They said it was a blessing and a gift to be able to see your parents in yourself, especially after they are gone.

Willis went further the same day with a whole separate post about how she had been overly sexualized as a child, and the steps that her mom Demi Moore tried to go through at the time to receive justice from Hilton and his ilk.
Her call-out of Perez Hilton was particularly noted by commenters.

Because really, Hilton often wrote about the children of celebrities, finding them fair game for gossip even as they were actual minors.

Probably drawn by the hundreds of people tagging him in comments, or the media flurry around Willis' post, Hilton himself turned up in the comments on her post.
Not to make a public apology, but to ask her to read a private message.

Many found irony in Hilton making fun of people's appearances.

The time has come, albeit a bit late, for Hilton's past gossip mongering to catch up with him.

Many commenters pointed out how much Willis inherited from her dad.

Tallulah Willis is an actor and clothing brand designer.
Prior to changing her name from Hall to Keaton, she made waves with her performance in Annie Hall. Then after switching to Keaton, she went on to be a well-known and incredibly successful actress, starring in The Godfather trilogy, The First Wives Club with Bette Midler and Goldie Hawn, Father of the Bride with Steve Martin, and many more.
Since her passing, fans and celebrities everywhere have shared tributes to her memory, but a particularly touching pair of tributes came from none other than her Father of the Bride co-star, Steve Martin.
True to Martin's nature, he first offered a tribute to Keaton with a humorous twist.
Steve Martin's best friend is, not so secretly, Martin Short, who also costarred in Father of the Bride as Franck Eggelhoffer, who helped plan the wedding and other important events in the two films.
Though Keaton and Martin were obviously friends, she was also friends with Short, as well, and the three were not shy about joking with one another.
During an interview with Interview Magazine in 2021, Short asked Keaton:
"Who's sexier, me or Steve Martin?"
Keaton quipped:
"I mean, you're both idiots."
As his first tribute to her, Steve Martin shared a screenshot of this exchange.
Later, Martin made his admiration for Keaton and her career much clearer in a second tribute post, which clarified just how long they had known each other.
To honor Keaton, he shared a playbill for Annie Hall, which showed Diane Keaton (as Diane Hall) as the lead, while Martin was a stagehand.
You can see that post here:
Fans of Keaton were touched by Martin's tributes.

Diane Keaton was a powerhouse in the industry and will be deeply missed.
And we often don't realize how much someone meant to a person until they share a decades-old throwback, which makes honoring their memory all the more important.

But Trump was not happy, taking to Truth Social to write the following angry message:
“Time Magazine wrote a relatively good story about me, but the picture may be the Worst of All Time. They 'disappeared' my hair, and then had something floating on top of my head that looked like a floating crown, but an extremely small one. Really weird!"
"I never liked taking pictures from underneath angles, but this is a super bad picture, and deserves to be called out. What are they doing, and why?”

Many have called out Trump's latest self-centered behavior.
Trump called the Gaza deal "the historic dawn of a new Middle East" in remarks to the Knesset, Israel’s parliament, adding that this is "not only the end of a war, this is the end of the age of terror and death."
Trump also traveled to Egypt, where dozens of world leaders awaited him for what was billed as a “peace summit.” But neither Israel nor Hamas took part. Although the White House released what appeared to be a joint statement from the countries in attendance, the document contained no binding commitments or specific actions.
Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu welcomed the release of hostages while pointedly declining to say whether Israel would resume hostilities if Hamas refused to disarm or withdraw. Hamas, for its part, never accepted that provision of Trump’s 20-point plan.
Trump also offered little on what rebuilding Gaza might entail, the fate of the Palestinian people, or the trade-offs between establishing a Palestinian state and pursuing alternative arrangements.
