Did Rumer Willis Win 'Dancing With The Stars' Because Of Demi Moore? Insider Details Revealed!

Rumer Willis recently won the top prize in "Dancing with the Stars" but mom Demi is allegedly taking all the credit for her daughter's victory.

Rumer and partner Val Chmerkovskiy took home the mirror ball trophy in the finale of "Dancing with the Stars." While on camera, Demi expressed how proud she was of her daughter's achievement. However, Radar Online reported that the actress was spreading the word to family and friends that she was to thank for Rumer's win.

"Demi was trying to take credit for Rumer's success on the show from day one," said the source of Radar. The report further stated that while it looked like Demi and Bruce Willis willingly came on the show to support Rumer, they were actually "required to be there."

"When Rumer signed on, it was a stipulation in the contract that Demi and Bruce participate in the show and publicity events because the producers wanted them there to bring in viewers, which they did," the source revealed.

The report further said that Rumer won because of her famous parents, but it also helped that she was a very talented dancer.

"Not taking away from the fact that Rumer was really, really good," the source said, "But Demi has said that she was part of the reason that Rumer won. But she will never tell her daughter that." 

"She is very proud of Rumer and she's said that this whole thing has helped her get over all the drama in her own life too," the insider added.

It will be recalled that Rumer had experienced cyber bullying when she faced growing up in the spotlight with her famous parents. The media started calling her "ugly," among other things.

Demi said that it had been tough for her daughter. "There really wasn't anything I could do to stop it," said Demi said in one of the telecasts of "Dancing With The Stars." "Her self esteem was nothing."

"I could only just keep loving her and loving her until she could love herself," she added.
