Evidently, she received some hate in the comments, as she reposted the Reel to her Story with the following caption.

“Just had to clarify since it seems there are quite a few uninformed and rude people in my comments on this post,” she began.
“I work 4 different jobs to provide for my daughter. I am the sole provider for her. I don’t live off a trust fund or get money from my parents. Most of the time I don’t have help with her. So how about y’all pause before you judge and assume.”
Rumer is the daughter of Demi Moore and Bruce Willis. She shares daughter Louetta with ex-boyfriend Derek Richard Thomas.
She then responded to another comment, which claimed she has a “back up plan” because of her family.
“I want to respond to this with care, because I think there’s a misunderstanding about what I was actually saying,” she wrote.
“I am very aware that I have privileges in my life that many people don’t, and I don’t take that for granted. I know there are realities I will never fully experience, and I respect that. But this particular post wasn’t about privilege or comparing circumstances, and it feels like people are assuming I was ignoring that when that wasn’t the conversation I was trying to have.”
“I don’t live my life treating family support as a backup plan. I take a lot of pride in providing for myself and for my daughter, and I’ve carried real financial stress and responsibility. There were years where I was the sole provider for multiple people, navigating pregnancy, inconsistent work, and the uncertainty that comes with that. So the idea that I don’t work or don’t understand financial pressure isn’t accurate,” Rumer wrote.
“At the same time, I think we can hold two truths at once. People’s lives look different, and none of our experiences exist in a vacuum. Just like someone with a stable job and housing might still struggle in ways that are real to them, even if their situation is different from someone facing much more severe hardship elsewhere in the world, we all move through different layers of reality. Acknowledging that difference doesn’t mean we can’t also talk about what we share,” she continued.
“My intention with that post was to speak to common ground and shared experience, not to erase differences or deny reality. I think there’s room for both compassion for what others face and honesty about our own lives without it becoming a competition.”
She recently cried about the challenges of being a single mother on social media.
