Demi Moore lashes out at the public while honoring Cher


Demi Moore seemed quite impatient with members of the star-studded audience at amfAR's Cannes Cinema Against AIDS Gala in Cap d'Antibes, France.

On Thursday, Moore was on stage introducing Cher when he called out to a member of the back of the audience at the Hotel du Cap, Eden.

In a video posted to X, Moore began his speech: “I'm going to see if this is the moment we've all been waiting for.”

After a lackluster response from the audience, Moore said, “I'm just making sure they're really with me,” before pausing. “Because this incredible woman that I'm about to introduce, she's a winner of a Grammy, an Oscar, an Emmy.”

Moore paused for a moment longer before addressing his next statement to an audience member.

“You're an Emmy winner in the back of the room? Hell, I don't think so,” Moore told an unidentified audience member.

It's unclear exactly what the guest said to provoke this reaction from Moore, but some audience members were enthused by her comment. Some guests laughed and applauded Moore before she continued her speech in honor of Cher.

“She is a style icon and my personal hair inspiration. And amfAR honored her with its Inspiration Award in 2015,” Moore continued. “The bottom line is that she is one of the most talented, successful and beloved artists of all time.”

Moore concluded, “So please give a warm welcome to the incredible and one-of-a-kind Cher.”

Representatives for Moore did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

Moore, whose film “The Substance” caused a stir at Cannes, hosted this year's gala, a role pioneered by Elizabeth Taylor in 1993.

The Cannes Film Festival concludes on May 25, but stars flocked to the French Riviera resort town starting May 14 to watch the films premiere.

“The woman knows what happened. I know what happened. And I have a boundary, and I maintain those boundaries, and that's it. And there were other women who came to that carpet who didn't look much like me, and “I don't care.” They scolded me, they didn't push me or tell me to get off,” Rowland told The Associated Press. “And I stood my ground, and she felt like she had to stand her ground, but I stood my ground, and that was it.”
