Bruce Willis and Demi Moore's daughter has hit out at critics who claimed that she takes money from her parents.

Rumer Willis, 37, shared a post to her 1.2 million Instagram followers about being a single mom, containing the caption 'Single Moms Be Like' at the top, as well as others such as 'play dates', 'lunch', 'working out', and 'meal prepping'.

The 37-year-old shares her two-year-old daughter Louetta 'Lou' with her ex-boyfriend Derek Richard Thomas.

But it seems that a few people took the comments on the post to say that Rumer takes money from her movie star parents Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, and used that to attack her as a single mom.

The comments got bad enough that Rumer felt the need to respond with a further post in which she slammed her critics.

In a subsequent post on social media, she wrote: "Just had to clarify since it seems there are quite a few uninformed and rude people in my comments on this post."

She went on to explain that she is the sole provider for her daughter, and works four jobs to make ends meet.

"I work 4 different jobs to provide for my daughter," she said. "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."

She added: "So how about y'all pause before you judge and assume."

But that wasn't all that she had to say on the matter, as this prompted someone else to reply that while she undoubtedly works hard, she still has a safety net.

This time, Rumer decided to take a more conciliatory tone in her lengthy reply.

"I want to respond to this with care, because I think there's a misunderstanding about what I was actually saying," she said.

"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."

She added: "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."

Rumer went on to say that 'people's lives look different, and none of our experiences exist in a vacuum'.

Reflecting on the realities and hardships of life, she continued: "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."
