In the 1980s, Jon Cryer had no idea that his brief romance with Demi Moore was marred by her struggles with addiction. Moore entered rehab at the request of Joel Schumacher before filming St. Elmo's Fire in 1985 and later sought treatment for trauma and substance abuse in 2012. Moore's battle with addiction on set is detailed in an upcoming documentary by Andrew McCarthy, where she recounts choosing the movie over her own well-being. Despite her struggles, Moore praised Schumacher for supporting her throughout the filming process. Unfortunately, Moore expresses regret that she and her former Brat Pack costars couldn't reunite for the documentary, "Brats", premiering on Hulu on June 13. If you or someone you know is facing substance abuse issues, please seek help from the SAMHSA helpline.
