Demi Moore had some harsh words for the rowdy crowd at the star-studded amfAR Cinema Against AIDS Cannes Gala in Cap-d’Antibes, France on Thursday.
The “Ghost” actress, 61, was onstage introducing global star Cher, 78, in a glittering tribute when a member of the audience at the back of the Hotel du Cap’s Eden Roc auditorium appeared to interrupt her speech.
In the video Share with X In a Vanity Fair article by Ramin Setoodeh, Moore takes the microphone and tells the crowd, “We’re going to see if this is the moment we’ve all been waiting for.”
After a less-than-spirited cheer from the audience, the “Indecent Proposal” star continued, “I’m just making sure you guys are really on my side.”
“This incredible woman I’m introducing to you is a Grammy Award winner, an Academy Award winner, an Emmy Award winner.”
But the “Disclosure” actress heard a comment from someone in the audience that gave her pause.
“Are you an Emmy winner in the back of the room? I bet you’re not,” she said to the unidentified guest.
It’s unclear what comment Moore made that angered him.
The tongue-in-cheek comment drew laughs and cheers from the crowd as Moore continued to introduce the “Believe” hitmaker to the stage.
“She’s a style icon and a hair inspiration to me, and she received the Inspiration Award from amfAR in 2015,” she said.
“After all, she is one of the most talented, successful and beloved performers of all time.”
“So please give a warm welcome to the wonderful, one and only Cher,” added Moore, whose film “The Substance” caused a buzz at Cannes.
Page Six has reached out to her representative for comment.
Global stars flocked to the French Riviera this week for the Cannes Film Festival.
Michelle Yeoh, Heidi Klum, Kelly Rowland, Andie MacDowell, Diane Kruger and Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, were some of the stars who attended the 30th annual amfAR Gala, which raises money for AIDS research.
Rowland was recently reprimanded on the red carpet earlier this week after appearing to get into an altercation with a female security guard.
She later spoke about the heated exchange, saying: [her] Ground. “
“That woman knows what happened, I know what happened,” she said while attending the gala Thursday, “I have boundaries and I will stick to those boundaries.”
“There were women on that carpet who didn’t look like me, but I wasn’t scolded or pushed or told to get off,” Rowland continued. “I stood my ground, and she felt like she had to stand her ground, but I stood my ground.”
