Philip Tanzini was only 15 when Demi Moore kissed him on the mouth in front of the cameras.
It was 1982, and she was 19. The scene was recorded on an American television program, and for decades no one paid it much attention. In 2012, someone uploaded the videos to YouTube, where they remained, quietly accumulating views until the sexual scandals that shook Hollywood in recent years brought renewed scrutiny to every gesture from that older Hollywood, the Hollywood of the 80s, the one no one questioned.
Today, those same videos are circulating again, commented on and analyzed frame by frame by users who wonder how something like that could have been recorded and broadcast without anyone saying a word at the time. Tanzini never gave an extensive public explanation of what he felt that day. Moore has not referred to the episode either. The silence of both is perhaps the most unsettling part of the entire story.
