Josh Meyers, known for his role in That '70s Show, has accused Demi Moore of disrupting a scene during the show's final season. During an appearance on the "Podcrushed" podcast on Wednesday, November 29, the 47-year-old actor shared his recollection of the incident.
Meyers explained that the final scene of That '70s Show took place on New Year's Eve 1979. It was especially challenging for the cast to film, as they had been working on the show for a long time and felt emotional reaching the end. Meyers mentioned that there were tears and difficulties delivering lines, prompting multiple resets. Just as the cast was regaining their composure, there was a noise on set.
"They were really in the zone, and just as they got the perfect shot, a phone rang," Meyers recalled. "It was Demi Moore's phone. And she actually answered it! The director couldn't believe it."
Meyers was amazed by Moore's boldness. "She just said 'Hello?' and we had to start all over. It was pretty incredible," the MADtv alum admitted. "I mean, no offense to Demi, but it takes serious confidence to handle a situation like that in Hollywood."

During the phone call incident, 61-year-old Moore was married to Ashton Kutcher, known for his role as Michael Kelso on the sitcom. Their separation was announced in 2011, with Moore stating, "It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that I have decided to end my six-year marriage to Ashton." The divorce was finalized in 2013. Moore detailed her relationship with Kutcher in her 2019 memoir, Inside Out, where she disclosed his infidelity and her personal struggles during their time together.
“While sipping on a glass of fine red wine, Ashton expressed his belief, ‘I'm not sure if alcoholism actually exists — I think it's all about balance,’” Moore penned. “I longed to embody that woman. The woman who could enjoy a glass of wine with dinner, or take a tequila shot at a party. In my opinion, Ashton desired that as well.”

In a January interview with GQ, Kutcher expressed being "extremely upset" about the memoir. After his breakup with Moore, Kutcher began a relationship with his That '70s Show co-star Mila Kunis. They got married in 2015 and had a daughter, Wyatt, and a son, Dimitri, in 2014 and 2016, respectively.
Moore shares her daughters Rumer, 35, Scout, 32, and Tallulah, 29, with her ex-husband Bruce Willis. Despite their 2000 divorce, Moore has maintained a friendly relationship with the 68-year-old actor and has been a source of support for him since his 2022 diagnosis of aphasia.
