Organizers of the Razzie Awards announced Thursday they were rescinding the dubious honor they bestowed last week on Bruce Willis, in light of news about the actor being diagnosed with the cognitive disorder aphasia.
"If someone's medical condition is a factor in their decision-making and/or their performance, we acknowledge that it is not appropriate to give them a Razzie," according to a statement from organizers.
"This is a really challenging time for our family and we are so appreciative of your continued love, compassion and support," Willis' daughter Rumer posted on Instagram."We are moving through this as a strong family unit, and wanted to bring his fans in because we know how much he means to you, as you do to him."
Following Wednesday's announcement by Willis' family, Razzie organizers posted on Twitter,"The Razzies are truly sorry for diagnosed condition. Perhaps this explains why he wanted to go out with a bang in 2021. Our best wishes to Bruce and family."
