Demi Moore's ex-husband made current spouse promise to behave in the future

When news broke that Ashton Kutcher had cheated on wife Demi Moore for the second time in as many years, Bruce Willis, her ex, went crazy. He eventually caught up with Ashton and gave him a piece of his mind, says a new report.

It's a well known fact that Bruce and Demi have remained very good friends after they got divorced, and even went on holidays together as an extended family.

When Willis learned what Ashton had done and heard how much Demi and his three daughters were suffering because of it, he decided to tell him straight, a piece in the latest print issue of the National Enquirer says (story via here).

At first, Ashton tried – and managed – to dodge Bruce's calls and thus avoid meeting him face to face to be held accountable for his actions.

But he couldn't put off the meeting for that much longer.

“Ashton kept avoiding Bruce’s calls and texts, but finally agreed to meet his wife’s ex-husband at a private location,” a source well familiar with the situation says.

Bruce was fuming mad and he didn't let Ashton go until he got a piece of his mind, which left him “shaking like a leaf,” says the report.

“Bruce was livid! He reamed Ashton for his cheating – and humiliating not just ex-wife Demi, but his three daughters as well. He went at Ashton full force, giving him no time to make excuses for his embarrassing behavior, demanding that he get his act together fast!” the insider dishes.

Admittedly a bit afraid for his personal security, Ashton started crying and promising Bruce he would never make the same mistake again.

“Ashton finally broke down in tears, weeping uncontrollably as he begged forgiveness. [Ashton is] devastated because Demi’s consulted a divorce attorney [and] begged Bruce to step in and stop her from committing to a separation,” says the insider.

He promised Bruce he would never cheat on Demi again, but the older actor isn't buying it just yet.

“Bruce isn’t ready to shake hands with Ashton just yet, but he did speak with Demi and advised her that if she decides to try keeping her marriage intact, she should seek traditional marriage counseling – not just the Kabbalah counseling they’ve been doing,” the insider further says.
