Michelle Williams: Please Respect Our Privacy

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.”

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.

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.

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.

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….
