Michelle Williams: Please Respect Our Privacy
Michelle Williams has given her first statement since the death of her former companion Heath Ledger.
In a statement released by Heath’s rep, Michelle said, “Please respect our need to grieve privately. My heart is broken. I am the mother of the most tender-hearted, high-spirited, beautiful little girl who is the spitting image of her father. All that I can cling to is his presence inside her that reveals itself every day. His family and I watch Matilda as she whispers to trees, hugs animals, and takes steps two at a time and we know that he is with us still. She will be brought up with the best memories of him.”

beautifully said.
Oh, that just breaks my heart. What lovely words.
She still loves him - they probably would have gotten back together if he had cleaned up. Very sad. I really enjoyed him as an actor and I think Michelle is really sweet.
who is she?
Ben why are you on this thread if you don’t now who she is?
THANK YOU. Yes, please respect their privacy! all this crap about Heath is getting old, quite frankly. Give them a break…geez.
it really hurts…and i don’t know why….tragic…. :’(
Goodness!
That’s so touching.
Oh my, I have a tear in my eye. How eloquent.
wow, a beautiful statement… I feel so sorry for her!
:( That is heartbreaking. I feel so bad for her and Heath’s family right now with all the speculation and a different rumor every five minutes. Matilda really is the spitting image of him.
Holy crap, that i so sad. I can not even imagine having to see his name being smeared so intensely by the media. It would kill me if somebody came and badmouthed my boyfriend if he died, and… I get emotional just thinking about it.ø Stay strong, nothing but utter respect!
Maybe websites like this will STOP “reporting” the nasty gossip that is going left and right. Let this family heal itself the best they can. There are times where you don’t have to post trash. No one has a gun to your head.
awwh:(
Very beautiful words, I’m sorry for matilda, she is going to grew up without his father.
so sweet.
the paparazzi need to back off for a while.
the poor woman just lost the father of her daughter, who she loved.
they all need to respect her wishes to be alone
gosh…reading that gives me goosebumps. and makes me feel like crying. poor matilda………
Beautifully said. My heart goes out to her and her baby.
I don’t care for Michelle, I feel bad for his daughter..Heath seem to be over Michelle with Helena and Gemma Ward.
The media shouldn’t bash a man in his death, but why does Heath get a pass when it’s okay to drag other dead celebs through the mud, they had family and friends just like Heath.
Well written statement. I just hope they listen to her wise words.
the most beautiful heartwarming words….
oops! i mean, heartbreaking words …
her statement is beautiful and incredibly touching. it brought a tear to my eye.
best wishes for his family.
i grew up without a dad and no one gives a **** & about 50% of the population grows up without a dad. big deal.
yeah I said It @ 02/01/2008 at 1:47 pm
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What “pass” are you talking about?!?!?!? What are you trippin’ on?
With that said, that was very touching and heartfelt. I’m still saddened over this…. RIP Heath…
RIP to Brad Renfro who most recently passed as well.
she does love him with all her heart…it will be difficult period, but with support from us fans nd her family she ll make it tru !!!
great statment !!!
very sad and heartbreaking.
I’m sure Heath would be proud that Michelle is trying to deal with this whole thing, and the media attention, with dignity. Matilda is lucky to have so many people who love her. God bless all.
That is beautiful. Brought tears to my eyes. His daughter looks just like him.
OMG !!!!!!!!
This is so saaaaaaaaaad !
The words she said touches everyone heart !
She’s so broken !
My heart is broken too !
He left such a great woman and a babygirl !!
His soul may rest in peace
My God, that’s one of the sweetest, most touching statements I’ve ever heard. It actually made my tear up a little. I wish Michelle and Matilda peace and privacy as they deal with this situation.
Love her, such an amazing woman. Such strength. I sincerely wish people like ET and The Insider just bug off and go talk about Britney. Let his family and friends live in peace.
Love her, such an amazing woman. Such strength. I sincerely wish people like ET and The Insider just bug off and go talk about Britney. Let his family and friends live in peace.
She is a strong woman and a great mother. Heath will be missed by all.
How heartbreaking :-(
I’m so glad Michelle and Heath’s family have Matlida. Michelle’s words are so beautiful and I hope everyone repects her wishes.
I also think they would have got back together but even if they had not they would have been devoted parents and worked well together.
Pass were no one can say bad things about him, yet I have to watch and hear bad things about other dead celebs.. along with their friends & family.
Dannielynn is going to have see the horrible things said about her mother drug problems
People basically act like Heath is the saint of the celeb world..
Nobody spare Diana’s sons awful magainze covers or rumors about their Mom.
So Beautiful :(
She sends out a statement about her dead ex and father of her kid..
Now she is a great woman
Yeah she is the FIRST woman to raise her kid alone after the father unexpectingly dies
Screw Soldier wives who are raising their kids after Daddy gets blowup defending the country
because you can’t touch rich, famous, movie star single mum Michelle great, strong , woman Williams
YOU people are celeb crazed…what a joke.
Michelle’s statement sounds very genuine. I dont know how anyone can NOT respect her privacy.. I mean its a sensitive situation and I cant even imagine how she must be feeling. All the best to you Michelle & your daughter. God bless em.
#38, you’re such a bitter person.
Ouch. Sad. In time, sure all things good and bad will be known, but for the immediate future, yes, they should be allowed to grieve without everyone piling on. The press, of course, will say it is their job, and I would agree that is the job of a news organization, but probably best to move slowly and report the hard facts.
Sad to see anyone with a bright future pass away young, whether famous or not.
so why she left him…..:(
I hope Michelle wasn’t heartbroken over the fact the Heath had Mary-Katie on speed dial or that he spent X-Mas with Gemma Ward
I hope she is hearbroken that her daughter no longer has her father.
#38, would you want cameras constantly being pointed in your face in a man you loved and the father of your child died unexpectedly? Would you want media spreading rumours about every thing?
Nobody is saying she’s some kind of super woman - she’s just trying to deal with this heartbreaking situation in the best way she can and trying to protect a little girl, who will never know he father, from the vicious media out there.
Give the woman some respect.
Tragic
truly heartbreaking, his death i think really impacted alot of people even tho that didnt know him. how does a child grow up with that in their future.
every death is tragic, no matter if its a celebrity or a soldier. why do people try and compete, its just sick to say that one persons hardships outnumber anothers, any person who loses a friend, siblings, relative, spouse, or parent faces the same tragedy, no matter who they are. so all of you just get of your high horses, and realize that this is also a tragedy and so is every other untimely death, only those dont get media coverage because the people were not well known. really, what happened to respect???
yeah yeah right….. she talks about privacy and she goes on saying all these thing which give food for more gossip and more talks about her, her daugter and Ledger… It sure is heartbreaking and touching but if she really wanted her privacy she wouldn’t even have spoken about it!
I feel so sorry for michelle… but she’s a strong woman and you can see that her priority is her daugheter….
WHY DO MOST PEOPLE BREAK UP././ MICHELLE SAID THAT IT IS NOT TRUE SHE DID NOT SEND HIM TO REHAB./././ PLEASE LEAVE
HEATH LEDGER A LONE././
REMEMBER HIM AS A GREAT ACTOR AND FATHER././ GIVE MICHELLE AND HEATH’S FAMILY PRIVACY UNTIL AFTER THE
FUNERAL./ HOPE TO YOU GET PHOTOS OF MICHELLE IN AUSTRALIA;
It is sad she even had to put out this statement but since everyone is more interested in dollar signs and curiosity than decency…
I am pregnant, but that would have made me cry regardless of hormones. What a lovely statement. That Matilda sounds like an extraordinary girl.
I agree with Lauren. Heath would be very proud. God bless you Michelle and be strong.
IGNORING ALL THE BITTER PEOPLE ON HERE
That has got to be the most beautiful statement ever.
Michelle is a very smart and talented young woman. She and her daughter will be ok. You can tell that Heath was the love of her life.
I just read this article and it was so moving because Heath speaks of how much Michelle and Matlida meant to him. Poor guy, he wanted so much but without the price required.
http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/film/article3255897.ece
“tINA” first of all, fix your caps lock, your screen name looks retarded like that. Second, I appreciate your sentiment, but do you realize that you’re on a CELEBRITY GOSSIP blog? WTF did you expect to find on here? You’re the only one comparing the importance of this man’s death to the reaction to the loss of anyone serving our country. It’s apples and oranges and judgemental to boot. I think you’re missing the point, dear. No one is saying that she deserves more than anyone else, the point is that everyone deserves the right to grieve privately and with some dignity.
Her press release is as beautiful as she appears to be and, yes, tears streamed down my cheeks. Many of the new souls born into this harsh world are entering through beautiful, sensitive people like Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams.
That is so beautifully said and heartbreaking. I have so much respect for Michelle, she’s a classy, beautiful, strong woman.
OT-I just want to say that during Dawson’’s Creek Katie Holmes was the breakout star, but Michelle Williams was th real gem who at first you don’t notice but then slowly discover how beautiful and gifted she is. Just adore her.
Tina dear - why are you here? You complain about people talking about celebrities on a CELEBRITY blog! LOL…get a clue. If you want to read about all the soldier’s wives who have to deal with their husband’s death, go leave your condolensces on CNN.com or abcnews.com. Get over yourself, love. There’s nothing wrong with people having empathy and compassion for other people’s pain.
So sad!
http://thetabloids.blogspot.com
sad but true. my heart goes out to michelle and matilda. love them. stay strong.
You/Me @ 2:39 pm.
Thank you for the link to that awesome article….it deserves to be picked up and printed by the press throughout the world!
It’s sad this beautiful soul was driven from the one place where he felt the greatest love and peace by the most ruthless of the paparazzi in his own country!
So terribly sad. I wish they would let them have their time. This is just a horrific time in her life and she needs to mourn with her child and his family. Leave Heath’s memory at peace. Let him be remembered as the kind soul he seemed to be.
how beautiful how touching how sweet how sad
i’am crying right now it’s so wonderful i feel so sorry for her and the sweet mathilda i wish her all the best and OF COURSE SHE STILL LOVES HIM
RIP HEATH we’ll never forget you you’ll be always in my heath
rip heath
I’m not sure which is more heartbreaking, Matilda growing up without seeing and talking and learning from her Dad, or Heath not being able to see her grow up.
#38 is not only bitter but angry at the world. You have no compassion for others and just wait until it’s your turn to grieve someone you love upon their death….only then perhaps will you get it. We feel pity for someone like you who has no heart or soul..just ugly thoughts.
Death sucks all around.
I think things would have worked out if Heath had cleaned up his act.. To the person who is bashing Michelle, grow up. She is, and was, protecting her child. She is not responsible for his death.
She’s a pretty lady. I remember her from that teen soap opera back in the day. I don’t remember her being so lovely. It’s horrendous to lose someone this way. Ugh. I can’t even bear the thought of it happening to someone I love.
Wow…That was a very touching and sweet tribute..
Amen Michelle.
GOT YOUR BACK GIRL!!
GOD BLESS!!
hold on, didn’t she leave him. the message is a bit OTT for an ex wife.
Poor lil girl, she hardly got to know him.
#38 BANG ON CORRECT!
shes not the first woman to lose a husband (ex?) and Matilda is not the first fatherless child in the world. get a grip you people. this happens everyday and probably to a person on a street near you.
your incessant fawnings over heath and his family is ridiculous and bordering on obsessive.
I think Heath and Michelle really still loved each other. I think Heath was just a wild child. I don’t think it was drugs. I think he kept irregular hours, needed to be around certain kinds of people, and was a very “hippie” kind of guy and she was the more conservative. You cannot harness a shooting star. So sad he burned himself out at such a young age. I also think he was the kind who cheated. He had his Michelle who he loved, but he also had a need to go out there and get with other women. He was seeing that model Helena Christiansen back in 2006, off and on. I am not going to judge him.
I will always love him for himself.
Didi and tINA = two bitter b*i*t*c*h*e*s
nice rational argument there ann, you won that round with your witty retort and good debating skills.
obama and hilary, watch out.
must be a tough time for all the friends, fans & loved ones of heath ledger. :( my sincere condolences.
for those bitter people here complaining about sympathy for heath’s loved ones, i feel sorry for people like you too. i hope that’s the consolation you’ll receive when your loved ones die, with words like: “what’s the big deal? people die every day.” “your mom died? why so sad? think of all those soldiers who died “defending” the country.”
Bitter = people who worship celebs that don’t give a care about them, this country is sick..honestly
Beside playing in movies what good did Ledger do, what about all kids who BOTH parents have died like in Darfur
were is that poor this or that for them..
oh I forgot they didn’t make movies..
Matilda is one of the millions of kids who have lost their fathers each yr.
Michelle Williams will survive what SEVERAL woman have survived…
Get off the bandwagon…
Didi - Exactly what argument are you trying to win here? As said before, no one has said that Michelle Williams deserves any more than any other grieving wife/girlfriend/lover/sister/mother/WHATEVER deserves. If you don’t want to read people who feel badly for her for whatever reason, why are you on this thread? It’s called basic human compassion. Perhaps you should try some yourself?
My heart breaks for Michelle and her little girl. Let us hope that those entertainment shows will leave them alone and stop trying to give all these ‘exclusives.’ The sickening fiasco with Anna Nicole was way too much.
So, take a hint JJ and stop it with all this incessant reporting! You have been shameful to say the least in the constant postings, speculations, and tacky over saturation in the very hours and days following this man’s death. Muster up what little dignity you may possess and give this family a damn break. I hardly come here anymore, but you are truly working my last nerve. It was bad enough when you chose to post the funeral pics of Jonathan Rhys Meyers’s loss, and now this? Death is not gossip news you fool- it’s tragic and PRIVATE no matter the circumstances surrounding it.
tINA - still haven’t fixed that caps lock problem.
Are you familiar with the phenomenon of celebrity? That the people you are reading comments from come to feel as if they know the people they are writing about because seeing them onscreen in movies, interviews, etc… makes us feel like we “know” them, even if we don’t? It’s not brain surgery and it’s really not for you to judge people over. It happens everywhere in various walks of life, be they actors, politicians, athletes, etc. I’m not quite sure what your confusion or annoyance is with this thread.
Comparing a celebrity blog to support or lack of support for Darfur is asinine, don’t you think? Why don’t you go guilt people into shame somewhere else?
tINA @ 02/01/2008 at 5:28 pm
what are you doing on a celebrity blog?
please remember what you said here when your loved ones die.
during your mom or dad’s eulogy, please say:
“nothing to grieve about, no big loss to society, mom/dad did not die in darfur.”
having compassion for heath ledger’s family does not equate to celeb worshipping. if you hate celebs so much, what in the world are you doing here?
and i agree with Ha! @ 02/01/2008 at 5:37 pm completely with this statement “Comparing a celebrity blog to support or lack of support for Darfur is asinine”.
what to do, right? some people are just so full of it.
How beautiful.
–read my blog at http://fashionpoirot.blogspot.com
so heartbreaking :(
Tina you are an ass..Get your self to a shrink ..you need help..And do it quickly…Since you have no compassion for Heath..i find it hard to have any for your idiotic behavior…
Beautiful.
My eyes teared up too.
such touching words. it brought tear in my eye.
Matilda’s got an old soul.
“she whispers to trees…” that statement tugs at ones heart.
Who is she asking to let them grieve privately? The mmedia? The people who care? I find this incredibly odd statement..at least be specific about who you don’t want to grieve with you
Everyone has already said this but truly this statement broke my heart and I teared up. I feel such empathy for her.

HEY DIDI
WTF are you still doing on Heath Ledger’s threads? You obviously have such disdain for him and for the fans who are genuinely mourning him. In an earlier thread you called Heath a “dead junkie actor” (post #30 on the Mary-Kate dating Heath thread)
On the Jake Gyllenhaal thread you basically called Jake a piece of sh*t for going hiking when his friend Heath had just died. You can’t stand Heath and yet you criticize/accuse Jake of not mourning Heath properly.
And now once again (surprise, surprise) you’re on Heath’s threads mocking everyone who is genuinely shocked and saddened and affected by Heath’s death.
We get it B*tch…. you hate Heath….so just stay the fcuk off his threads you c*u*n*t.
And let the rest of us honour this beautiful man and magnificent actor in the way he deserves.
ONE LAST THING DIDI….
You are the one who is bordering on obsessive….fancy making an appearance on every thread of someone you hate, just to spew vitriol. Says a lot about you as a person.

Michelle is NOT trying to “give more food for gossip”. She is an absolutely devastated, shattered and broken woman.
What she is obviously trying to do with her statement is to plea for privacy. As a celebrity she understands the public’s thirst for any bit of information (good, bad or indifferent) She has given an insight into her new personal hell, in the hope that people will now leave her and her family/Heath’s family alone.
If she didn’t give a statement the press would be hunting them down so to speak…trying to get that “grieving woman” photo or that elusive story. She understands that she won’t get her privacy until a statement of some sort is released. I am sure she really didn’t need the extra pain of having to write this…on top of everything else she is going through. So no Katia, she is not trying to give more food for gossip.
Jake Gyllenhaal has been criticised for NOT making a statement. And now you are doing the same about Michelle FOR making a statement.
Damn if you do and damn if you don’t it seems.
At least the majority of people are feeling great compassion for Michelle, especially after reading her heart wrenching statement.
I think many of you are putting too much thought into this. Really. It’s okay to sympathize with her on a VERY basic level. But it’s offputting to read long paragraphs from complete strangers about random movie stars. I happen to agree that ANYBODY in a state of grief should be given space but some of you need to ease up. I hope you invest the same amount of love and energy into your “REAL LIFE” loved ones as this random celebrity AKA stranger.
This is wrenching. To see so much of Heath in her every single moment. Without question she is a unique child! Just like sweet, old soul Bindi Irwin. I wish Michelle and Mathilda comfort and peace.
Well skip past the long posts Kirsten. Don’t you too have “real lfe” loved ones that need your attention? Why waste time reading these long posts?
Heartbreaking.
http://www.IGotUGGs.com
Michelle asked for privacy. it starts with us, the public, not reading, not clicking on Heath death’s threads on websites such as these and feeding the demand for photos and other reports - almost all speculative.
If each of us say, enough is enough, no more and avert our eyes, we do our bit to give this woman and her family, the privacy they need to grief in peace.
Yes, I’m clicking on this thread, making this statement, here. I won’t be doing it on any other website, on any other thread.
i can tell you she never loved heath leger , if she love him she never would have challenged heath to be drug tested and be free of drug in order for him to see his own daughter . how crul she must have been to deny him of his own child , i hope the guilt would haunt her for ever, i am so sad to think that poor guy never saw his own child just because she wanted to punish him or make him not to do drug , believe me with doing that it drove him even more into it, i hate her for not letting him see his daughter until the day he died.
I feel heartbroken for her. That was a beautiful and very fitting statement. I hope the media leave her and Matilda be. Michelle must of still had very strong feelings for Heath even though they had broken up.
i miss heath…. =(
in the video at the party heath is telling his friend i shouldn’t have been here now she is not going to let me see metild. did it work for not letting him see his child to think it might make him stop doing drugs, of course not it even drove more into it thinking all the time about his daughter and the fact that he can’t not see her, his live was meaningless. she is heart broken because of the guilt of what she did to him , not allowing him to see his daughter.
WTF are didi and tina still doing alive ?
no one that bitter deserves to live.. seriously.
go back to your mental home.
That was beautiful, Michelle. I wanna cry again. My heart goes out to you both <3
It was a really touching statemant. I am so sorry for Michelle and even more for little Matilde. I pray for them. I can’t even imagine ow tough is it for Michelle to watch that little girl, who resembles her daddy so much.
Heath You are so missed here.
It is ture she is sad for her daughter . As a father of her child for him too. She and heath are friends not lovers they borke up over a year ago. They both have been seeing other people.
katia #48 First of all, that was obviously a heartfelt statement that Michelle made, and it was probably difficult for her to have make such an emotional statement to the millions of people she doesn’t even know, just because it is expected of her. She could have said nothing, but then she would have been accused of not caring, insensitive, which is how Jake is being judged.
My heart goes out to Michelle, Matilda, and especially Heath’s parents, who have lost a dear son.
Heath, it is reliably reported, was into heroin. And once you are into that you are a goner. Few ever kick that habit. It is a straight road right to the cemetery. Heath got there faster than most.
To JANNIE and DIDI
We get it b*tches….you hate Heath….so get the fcuk off his threads you c*u*n*t*s. And let the rest of us honour this beautiful man and magnificent actor in the way that he deserves.
Fancy making an appearance on every thread of someone you hate just to spew vitriol. Says ALOT about you as a person.
#112 jannie
Hey B*TCH!! Why don’t you wait for the toxicology results before you start insinuating that Heath died of a heroin overdose.
Why are you guys so friggin bitter? Yes, Michelle isn’t the only person who will ever lose a loved one, but the woman is grieving. Show some respect. If you don’t like Heath, don’t read his news, and don’t come into his threads spewing vile comments. Sheesh!
Silly. I have nothing against Heath, or rather “had”. He was a superb actor. But the evidence that he was a heroin addict is overwhelming and comes from several sources. I don’t admire heroin addiction. Should I? And what does saying he was an addict have to do with being sorry he is dead? I am sorry he is dead. He was a heroin addict. Both statements are true.
Tim Robey in the UK Telegraphy says this about Ledger’s role in the movie Candy:
But when Ledger’s Dan gives into the bliss of a pure heroin high in Candy, or watches and waits in the car while his girlfriend (Abbie Cornish) sells her body to buy them their next hit, or slumps whimpering in the shower while his entire frame screams at him to fuel the addiction, the mixture of emotions that plays out on his face is extraordinarily frank and complicated. Ledger’s acting here is such a naked high-wire act it’s almost embarrassing, which is exactly as it should be. Dan has nothing to hide except his own weakness, which he hides abysmally, and no public image to project except the one that’s slightly less off his face than he typically is.
Far outclassing his perfectly adequate co-star – who, for reasons that puzzle me, won the greater share of acclaim for this – Ledger responds to every challenge of his part with conviction, sensitivity, sympathy, hilarious candour, frightening believability, and a spark that stays alight, deep down, even when the character becomes a virtual shell of himself. It’s hard not to be curious about what well of personal experience he may, or must, have tapped in this performance. But it’s even harder to deny, having seen it, that Ledger was an amazing actor.
One has to wonder if Ledger was acting in the movie or simply being himself. In short was he a heroin addict when he made the movie?
Okay.
First off, Michelle and Heath broke up in SEPTEMBER. Meaning just 5 months prior to his death, they broke up and while she was the one to call it off, how can you not love a person(not even a sliver at that) you were just head over heels for months before? Especially when he’s the father of your child?!
Plus there have been many reports circulating that despite trying to move on from each other, both Michelle & Heath were still wrecked over the break up, and two, Heath was very much friends with females with the same affinity he was friends with males– after all, he grew up in a house that was practically full of women. That’d answer as to why he had Mary-Kate on speed-dial(what, he didn’t have Michelle on speed dial, either?). That’d answer to why he was close to Helena Christensen, that’d explain why he was sighted with Gemma Ward and her model sister, Sophie. Even Sophie herself said Heath confessed to having a hard time getting over Michelle and not having Matilda around for the holidays. He grew up with females as confidantes, naturally and most likely, he had females as confidantes.
So I don’t understand why it is so easy for anyone to spat on the memory of a devoted father and actor, and especially one who was still having a hard time getting over the woman he thought would be his wife one day.
It’s heartbreaking to read about a death, even more so when you realize that person has left a young child behind. The panoramic effect of this death is because he was of celebrity status, yes, but he was also a person. I don’t think it’s fair of him to be reduced to such fodder just because he chose to choose acting as his craft. Also, I was impacted by his death, because despite having seen him only onscreen, I did feel a connection to Heath Ledger, despite how ridiculous it may seem.
Heath Ledger’s soul exhibited a great man, and a great actor and he was endearingly human. He was clearly shy, very intelligent and often held a side to him that seemed righteously rebellious. It’s glaringly obvious in his interviews, his acting and his statements about Michelle and Matilda, all of which were just a year ago in sheer perspective. He claimed Michelle as his soul mate, and I suppose nobody’s willing to note the fact Ledger’s clothing style and mannerisms changed dramatically after his breakup with Williams?
The man loved her and she loved him. For some reason, it didn’t work, but hey, not just love makes the world go around. If that were possible, divorce wouldn’t be the newest institution in America.
If he was a heroin accident, fine. Go ahead and assume. Don’t wait for the toxicology reports. Assume, destroy Ledger’s memory, mock him even though he’s never done a thing to you. Mock him just because he made more money than you. Mock him because he’s probably more handsome than Bobby Ray, your second cousin, twice-removed. Honestly, I’m kind of glad Ledger’s had a toke or two before. It means he’s f**king human, hell, we could have been friends.
I’m training to be a nurse and there have been reports left and right, and yet, people are saying he died of an illegal drug and such and that he was a heroin addict?
Then why were there no illegal drugs in the apartment? Heroin’s more powerful than any other weak drug so he’d have died of that, with a syringe stuck in his arm.
Why did he only have prescription pills? Why did he have sleeping pills? Why did he have walking pneumonia, why did he die? Well, his co-star said it beautifully: “You’re not supposed to take sleeping pills when taking other pills, not even antibotics.”
Ledger was ill with pneumonia, and you’re not even supposed to take sleeping pills when you’re afflicted with a respiratory disease. I’m willing to bet it was the lethal mix of those two drugs that killed him. Not heroin. I wouldn’t be surprised if Ledger tried a hit or two before he met Michelle, but it wasn’t heroin that killed him. It wasn’t cocaine that killed him. I doubt he was an addict, because if he had been, Michelle would have shot of there faster than a bat in hell especially if she was the one to break it off with Ledger. Rumors would have flown.
WHY NOW are they just coming out? Lindsay Lohan? We found out with that video of her. Kate Moss? Discriminating photos. Nicole Richie? Paris Hilton? Colin Farrell?
Why not Heath Ledger?
Why weren’t there reports or complaints of his not arriving to set on time? Why weren’t there acts of debauchery, like with River Phoenix, Brad Renfro(may he rest in peace) & Lindsay Lohan?
People are that low enough to make a quick buck, after all, look at the bloke trying to impersonate Kim Ledger. Just to say, ‘Yeah, Heath was an addict.”
Based on drug use he committed years before Matilda was born? LISTEN and read between the lines, and stop assuming. Stop gasping in shock and nodding in mindless agreement, going, “That’s it! I KNEW IT, because he acted like one in Candy, he’s got to be a heroin addict!”
Get. Real.

BRAVO!!! I applaud your magnificent and eloquent post. I totally agree with all your comments.
I also have never met Heath and was surprised at how much his death affected me. His on screen performances were so brave, poignant and beautiful and they leave an indeliable mark on your soul when you see them. His characters are unforgettable and stay with you long after you leave the cinema.
The poster JANNIE seems to think that Heath’s performance as a heroin addict in Candy was so real that Jannie wonders whether Heath was acting in the movie or simply being himself. So with that logic, does that mean that Heath must have been gay in real life to be able to play a gay man in BBM so well?
Hudson, thankyou for a wonderful post. I really hope that Jannie reads it . Thankyou on behalf of all the fans of Heath Ledger.
He is now in God’s loving arms. RIP Heath.
JANNIE
I guess that must mean that Heath must have been gay in real life because he played a Ennis Del Mar in BBM so well.
Yeah that’s it….he’s not a good actor, he just plays himself in all his movies…. you fcuking idiot!!
You always contradict yourself. On the one hand you acknowledge that Heath is a brilliant actor…and then you say that because his performance in Candy was so good…he must be a heroin addict and he was just playing himself. Once again I say you’re a fcuking idiot.
Stay off Heath’s threads you fcuking little b*i*t*c*h. Yeah I know you’re a guy….you’re still a fcuking little cow.
God i love Heath so much. RIP HEATH.
Ivana, if you love him so much why do you want to rip him? That isn’t very nice, now, is it? Anyway your “love” is pointless since he don’t exist anymore. Or are you a necrophiliac? That I could believe. LOL. I am a bit surprised you didn’t follow his coffin to Australia and try to get buried along with him.
There is no logic in arguing that because he wasn’t gay when he played a gay cowboy, then he couldn’t have been taking heroin when he played a heroin addict. A sharper mind would realize that in one case he was acting and in the other he was doing what he also did when he wasn’t acting. Some people’s grasp of logic is pathetic.
PS Heath gave a superb performance in Brokeback. He should have gotten the Oscar. So don’t say I don’t appreciate his acting abilities.
Hudson. If you are going to be a nurse, I hope you manage more objectivity re your patients than you do Heath. And remember, dear, if you encounter a lifeless body (or one that seems so) call 911 at once and not some number you find on the cell phone beside the body. If the massagista had called 911 immediately, it is possible Heath could have been saved, or so I read.

wow, you are disgusting jannie. the first paragraph of your post has got to be one of the sickest, nastiest, most vicious posts i’ve ever read. you are sooo mean it’s incredible. i bet you are as ugly on the outside as you are on the inside.
anja: Ohhhh, my aren’t we SENSITIVE? So easily upset and bruised. Such a delicate little flower. I bet the word necrophiliac really sent you straight to your analyst, after you looked it up in the dictionary to know what it means. Didn’t you know that Indian wives used to (maybe still do) throw themselves on the funeral pyre of their husbands? And nobody thinks that is sick; it is just a custom. What’s ugly about wanting to be buried alongside someone you love? I think that is touching and tender and sweet. I think you are silly and hypersensitive. Is pollyanna your middle name? LOL.
anja: I might add that what is really SICK is people who fall in “love” with people they have never met or never will meet and whom they know simply from pictures. People like that are REALLY SICK. I think falling in love with a picture is the height of SICKNESS. Only someone whose own life is completely dead would fall in love with an image.
Jannie my love for Heath is totally different, i admire him as young actor who came from litlle town like Perth, and succesed in big country like USA. That not easy it takes courage. Michelle statement is hartbreaking.
Sorry “heartbreaking”
But Jannie…you’re the one who is CLEARLY in love with and obsessed with Jakeypoop. Can”t you see that everyone can see that about you??
“People like that are REALLY SICK. I think falling in love with a picture is the height if SICKNESS” is what you state. Yes Jannie, you are REALLY SICK. Your obvious obsession with Jake is the height of sickness.
BTW that necrophilia comment insults both Ivana and Heath. You are such a disgusting pig.
Thank you Anja!!!!
Jannie:
You made absolutely no sense in your attempt to rebut me, but alright. I do agree that Heath’s life could have been saved if Diana Wolozin had been fully lucid that afternoon and called 911 quickly, instead of freaking out and calling Mary-Kate Olsen repeatedly. But exactly, why are you trying to attack me on my choice of profession, especially when I could have done nothing about it, as I am six hours north of New York City?
And yes, I do know if I happened to see a dead body, I’d call 911 immediately— being from a family that specializes in the medical profession, I knew that by the age of two. Furthermore, if you had to point that out to a nursing student, I really do wonder about your processes of logic.
I would suggest you get off of your high horse, and respect Heath’s memory. His cause of death has been declared and at this point, all sorts of speculation bears no significance as the Ledgers & Williamses should be left to grieve in peace, and rightfully so.
There’s no earthly way of knowing. What was in your heart?! When it stopped going. The whole world shook. A storm was blowing through you. Waiting for God to stop this. And up to your neck in darkness. Everything around you was corrupted. Saying something. There’s no dignity in death. To sell the world your last breath. We’re still fighting over. Everything you left over. I saw you staying at the gates. When Marlon Brando passed away. You had that look upon your face. Advertising space. No one learned from your mistakes. We let our profits go to waste. All that’s left in any case is advertising space. Through your eyes the world was burning. Please be gentle. I’m still learning. You seemed to say as you kept turning up. They poisoned you with compromise. At what point did you realize. Everybody loves your life but you. A special agent for the man. Through Watergate and Vietnam. No one really gave a damn. Did you think the CIA did? I’ve seen your daughter. Man, she is cute. I was scared but I wanted to. Boy, she looks a lot like you!
R.I.P. HEAT!!! WE LOVE YOU!
I really do hope the public respects her wishes its such a heart breaking situation she is going through at this time in her life. I know from personal experience of losing a loved one and having a child left behind. She needs her privacy and space. She needs to re connect with herself and sanity for her little girls sake especially. its such a huge heart break for her and matilda.
R.i.P Heath Ledger.
i know she will raise Matilda the best she can possibly be…may God be with them always…
i know wherever Heath is he will be very happy and contented seeing them both move on with their life…
