Scout Willis was indeed tweeting about adderall and cigarettes — but not for the reasons people may think.
A blog called IvyGate.com discovered Bruce Willis and Demi Moore's 20-year-old daughter had been writing graphic messages using the Twitter handle @bougepunk, which included shocking one-liners such as: "I hate capitalism like I hate my parents, but they both serve me so well."
Scout, who is a student at Brown University, quickly shut down the Twitter page Thursday. A rep confirms to Us Weekly that Scout is partially behind the tweets, which she co-wrote with two other students.
"In connection with a class assignment, in which students were asked to create a 'culture jam' or 'hoax,' three students created a satirical and fabricated Twitter account in which everything tweeted was fictional."
"This was done to illustrate how social media is utilized and that in today's social media culture, you can create a significant twitter following based entirely on fabricated lies, and that the more outrageous and controversial the fabricated statement, the more followers you will get."
The statement concludes: "Current media interest in the fabricated Twitter school assignment appears to prove that point."
