Demi Moore says that ex-husband Ashton Kutcher downplayed her alcohol addiction during one of her low points.
"When I couldn't get pregnant again, the guilt that I felt, that it was clearly my fault, was just enormous," Moore said on Monday's episode of "Red Table Talk" on Facebook Watch.
She continued: "We went on this trip and Ashton said, 'I don't know if alcoholism's a thing. I think it's about moderation.' And if I had stayed close to working my program, I of course… I lived the majority of my adult life sober. I was great sober."
Moore's daughters Rumer Willis and Tallulah Willis (from her previous marriage to Bruce Willis) joined their mother on the show to discuss her new memoir "Inside Out" with Jada Pinkett Smith, her mother Adrienne Banfield Norris, and daughter Willow Smith
Moore recalled relapsing during her relationship with Kutcher. The pair got married in 2005 and finalized their divorce in 2013. Nearly six months into her pregnancy with the "That '70s Show" star, the actress had a miscarriage and blamed herself for the loss.
When asked by Smith about what led her to relapse, Moore, who has been sober for almost eight years, said: "I wanted to be that girl."
"I made my own story up, that he wanted somebody that he could have wine with and do stuff," the "Ghost" star said. "He's not the cause of why I opened that door. I wanted to be something other than who I am and it was literally like giving my power away."
Moore elaborated on her miscarriage in her memoir and said that the couple's age gap of 15 years impacted how Kutcher reacted to the news.
"Ashton did his best to connect with me in my grief," she wrote. "He tried to be there for me during the miscarriage, but he couldn't really understand what I was feeling."
The actress also said that because Kutcher was in his 20s, "he wasn't remotely late to the game of fatherhood."
"His possibilities were not running out, far from it," she said. "I was suddenly acutely aware that mine were."
Representatives for Ashton Kutcher didn't immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
