Enquirer: Demi Moore’s AA sponsor died, will Demi start boozing again?

This week’s issue of The Enquirer sees Demi Moore “hit[ting] rock bottom” after ending her marriage to Ashton Kutcher and then seeing the photos of him looking down Lea Michele’s dress that quickly hit the internet. You know the ones of which I speak, right?

Of course, Ashton was just being his douchey self on the New Year’s Eve carpet and really had no intention of bedding Lea, but that doesn’t mean that Demi would be any less upset about it. Obviously, Demi hasn’t yet let go of their marriage if she refuses to do something as simple as changing her Twitter handle.

To make matters more difficult for Demi during this awkward time, it seems that her long-time Alcoholics Anonymous sponsor has just died as well. Did you know that she’s been a recovering alcoholic for quite some time? Not many people are aware of that, but The Enquirer has pieced together these two dramatic events and decided that Demi will probably start hitting the bottle again:

Plagued by a devastating string of personal tragedies, a distraught Demi Moore has hit rock bottom and is spinning wildly out of control, friends fear. They’re worried sick she may return to her old vice, alcohol, to ease her mental anguish. “Demi’s life is a mess,” an alarmed pal told The ENQUIRER. “What she’s been through is more than enough to drive anyone back to booze.”

The 49-year-old star recently suffered a painful one-two punch. Her good friend and former Alcoholics Anonymous sponsor Pattsy Rugg died, and just days later photos of Demi’s estranged husband Ashton Kutcher leering at the exposed bosom of “Glee” star Lea Michele explosed onto the scene.

The pictures hit her hard as a lurid reminder of the cheating scandal that changed her life forever.

Meanwhile, a gaunt, hollow-cheeked Demi was in tears as she clutched a male friend’s arm for support while leaving Christ the King Church in Cape Cod, Mass., following the emotional Dec. 3 funeral service for her beloved friend.

“Demi was beside herself with grief and bawling her eyes out,” divulged a close source. Demi met Rugg — who succumbed to complications of pneumonia Nov 25 at age 70 — when she was appointed as the actress’ Alcoholics Anonymous sponsor years ago.

“She was so close to Pattsy that Demi even used to introduce her to friends as her mother,” divulged the pal.

Then just two days after the funeral, Demi was rocked by photos of Ashton flirting with 25-year-old Lea on the red carpet at the hollywood premiere of their film New Year’s Eve.

“Thoughtless Ashton was salivating all over Lea,” said the pal. “He snuck behind her while she was having pictures taken and kissed her behind the ear.

“Lea also had a little ‘wardrobe malfunction,’ as her left nipple slipped out of her skimpy dress…and photos snapped a leering Ashton staring at it!

“Of course, he knew the shots would get out and be like a dagger in the chest to Demi. What a heartless boob!”

Indeed, Ashton has almost always been a “heartless boob” to Demi and has likely been cheating on her since one month after they were married. Still, it’s probably gotta sting quite a bit to watch one’s ex-husband flirting with a fellow famewhore on the red carpet. And make no mistake, Ashton knew that he was being a douche and that Demi would feel terrible that he was shamelessly flirting with Lea so soon after divorce papers were filed. Now, will Demi actually resort to boozing again? At his point, I think her thin frame would indicate that very little food or drink is making their way into Demi’s system.
