Moore’s announcement that she was ending their six-year marriage showed that a recent tweet by Kutcher that used the Public Enemy song “Don’t Believe the Hype” to shoot down reports of his philandering was likely nothing but digital spin.
The “Ghost” actress was cryptic in her statement about her call to opt for divorce, saying she made her choice in the “spirit” of her ideals, and did so “with great sadness and a heavy heart.”
“As a woman, a mother and a wife, there are certain values and vows that I hold sacred, and it is in this spirit that I have chosen to move forward with my life,” she said.
After the news broke that he had gotten the boot, Kutcher fired off a retrospective tweet: “I will forever cherish the time I spent with Demi. Marriage is one of the most difficult things in the world and unfortunately sometimes they fail. Love and Light, AK.”
Moore, 49, and Kutcher, 33, tied the knot in September 2005 amid a media frenzy focused on their age difference.
In happier days, the couple posted on Twitter playful pictures of their life. That bliss appeared to have continued through this summer, judging by their tweets.
But things went south quickly after reports surfaced in September that the “Two and a Half Men” star had an extramarital romp with a 23-year-old cutie in a San Diego hotel on the couple’s six-year wedding anniversary.
Kutcher at the time tweeted a denial using the Public Enemy anthem, then followed with this doozy: “When you ASSUME to know that which you know nothing of you make an A-- out of U and ME.”
Despite his online declarations that all was well, the couple had reportedly been living apart for months, and in October sought a little camping-trip counseling from their Kabbalah instructor, Rabbi Yehuda Berg.
In September, an unnamed source told Star magazine of their developing discord: “Ashton was a serial cheater, and Demi just couldn’t take it anymore.”
