Demi Moore lashes out at audience while honoring Cher
Demi Moore introduced Cher at amfAR's Cinema Against AIDS Cannes Gala in Cap d’Antibes, France
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Demi Moore appeared to be quite impatient with members of the star-studded audience at amfAR's Cinema Against AIDS Cannes Gala in Cap d’Antibes, France.
On Thursday, Moore was onstage and introducing Cher when she called out a member from the back of the audience at Hotel du Cap, Eden.
In a video uploaded to X, Moore began her speech, "I’m going to see if this is the moment we’ve all been waiting for."
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}After a mediocre response from the audience, Moore said, "I’m just making sure that you’re really, really with me," before taking a pause. "Because this incredible woman that I’m about to introduce — she’s a Grammy winner, an Oscar winner, an Emmy winner."

And 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 told The Associated Press. "And, I stood my ground, and she felt like she had to stand hers, but I stood my ground, and that was it."
