Rumer Willis' Ex Says She Arrived With Police During His Custody Visit

Key Points:

• Derek Richard Thomas alleges that during a July visit with his 3-year-old daughter Louetta, the respondent abruptly took Louetta away with police present, despite his objections and the presence of a monitor he did not approve.
• A June court order mandated six weeks of supervised visits before Thomas could have unmonitored and overnight parenting time, with a detailed schedule alternating weekends between Los Angeles and Idaho, and his first unmonitored overnight visit set for August 22.
• Willis, who has primary physical custody, previously raised concerns about Thomas' fiancée, Lizzie Loch, being around Louetta, and has offered to remove supervision if a person she selects could accompany Louetta to Thomas' upcoming wedding.
• The custody dispute began in July 2025 after Willis moved Louetta to Idaho during the 2025 Los Angeles wildfires; Thomas sought joint custody, disputing the permanence of the move, while Willis claimed she facilitated visits and communication with Thomas.
• The case involved legal battles in both California and Idaho, with Idaho courts ultimately ruling California as the proper venue; Willis seeks to vacate the June custody order, while Thomas wants it upheld, accusing Willis of obstructing his relationship with Louetta.
