Rumer Willis has claimed she works four jobs to provide for her little girl.

The 37-year-old actress, the eldest offspring of Hollywood stars Bruce Willis, 70, and Demi Moore, 63, has hit back at the nepotism remarks she faced after she shared an Instagram Reel about her "never-ending" chores as a single parent to two-year-old daughter Louetta, whom she has with musician ex Derek Richard Thomas.

She captioned the clip: "The todo list in never ending. I need a nap and a duvet day asap. (sic)"

Rumer insists she does not rely on "a trust fund" or receive money from her famous parents.

Addressing the nepo baby comments, she said in a follow-up post: "Just had to clarify since it seems there are quite a few uninformed and rude people in my comments on this post.

 "I work 4 different jobs to provide for my daughter. 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. So how about y'all pause before you judge and assume."

A user commented that "you do have a backup that will always be there for you should you get into financial trouble. Your family is not going to allow you to fall into serious debt that would lead to homelessness for example."

Doctor Odyssey star Rumer responded on her Instagram Stories: "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 that I will never fully experience, and I regret that. 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."

She continued:  "There were years where I was the sole provider for multiple people, navigating pregnancy, inconsistent work, and the uncertainty that comes with that."

Rumer added that her "intention with that post was to speak to common ground and shared experience, not to erase differences or deny reality. I think there's room for both compassion for what others face and honesty about our own lives without it becoming a competition."
