Moore ‘smoked something’ before being rushed to hospital
The woman tells emergency operators that Moore, 49, had been “having issues lately”.
“Is she breathing normal?” the operator asks.
“No, not so normal. More kind of shaking, convulsing, burning up,” the friend says.
The recording captures the 10 minutes it took paramedics to arrive as friends gather around the collapsed star and try to comfort her as she trembles and shakes.
Another woman is next to Moore as the dispatcher asks if she’s responsive.
“Demi, can you hear me?” she asks. “Yes, she’s squeezing hands. She can’t speak.”
When the operator asks what Moore smoked, the friend replies, but the answer was redacted.
“Some form of ... and then she smoked something. I didn’t really see. She’s been having some issues lately with some other stuff. So I don’t know what she’s been taking or not,” the friend says.
The city attorney’s office advised the fire department to redact details about medical conditions and substances to comply with federal medical privacy rules.
Asked if Moore took the substance intentionally or not, the woman says that Moore ingested it on purpose but the reaction was accidental.
“Whatever she took, make sure you have it out for the paramedics,” the operator says.
The operator asks if this has happened before.
“I don’t know,” she says. “There’s been some stuff recently that we’re all just finding out.”
Moore’s publicist, Carrie Gordon, said previously that the actress sought professional help to treat her exhaustion and improve her health. She would not comment on the emergency call or provide details about Moore’s treatment.
Moore’s marriage to actor Ashton Kutcher, 33, ended in November after rumours of his alleged infidelity. The two were known to publicly share their affection for one another via Twitter.
Moore still has a Twitter account under the name @mrskutcher but has not posted any messages since January 7.
