Mourning in Brooklyn

Michelle Williams' friends and family were in Brooklyn yesterday to comfort her.


Her mother, Carla, arrived to Williams' Brooklyn residence early in the morning, joined later by Busy Philipps, Williams' co-star on "Dawson's Creek" and godmother of Michelle and Heath Ledger's daughter Matilda. "Felicity" star Keri Russell, a neighbor and friend, walked by the house, but didn't stop in.

Williams arrived with Matilda Wednesday evening after flying back from Sweden.

1.

So much for respecting Heath's father's wishes and affording these grieving people some privacy.

2. of course these people are grieving - it's a normal human emotion - not that TMZ would know or care!

3. I'm pretty sure the correct name is Bijou Phillips, not "Busy" as you keep reporting. So much for accuracy. I think it would be wonderful if you would just leave this poor, grieving family alone.

5. I'm with the lady on the video... LEAVE THEM ALONE! You are all pigs! It is one thing to cover all the stars doing daily things... but this is a funeral man! What jerks! TMZ is the lowest of lows! After your awful coverage of this tradgedy... I am no longer visiting your site! Even Perez Hilton isn't this low!

6. WHY WOULD KERI WALK BY THE HOUSE AND NOT GO IN? THAT'S STUPID!

7. It's moments like this that makes you wonder how many other talented potential stars are out there but will never pursue greatness because they don't want to deal with the paparazzi. And I am just as guilty for looking so as of today I'm done. Thank you tmz for showing what filthy people you are and to show me what I was supporting.

8. Can't the stalkers...I mean paps.....lay off for just a FEW days & let Heath's family & close friends grieve in private??? Come on, Harvey, how much biz would you really sacrifice if you showed the world some class & set an example for all the other vultures. Heath hated publicity & it's so unfitting that there is no peace for him even in his death.

9. Leave them the hill alone! We don't need a blow by blow description of this family's grief. I see Reverend a**hole is going to demonstrate at the funeral as he did at the fallen Iraq soldier's funerals who were gay. I can just see his bunch of lowlifes and TMZ's lowlifes trying to shove each other aside.

10. My goodness, I am having a hard time wrapping my brain around this and struck with sadness. I can not even imagine what his family and the people who loved and knew him are feeling. Please, give them space at this time of mourning. Michelle must be having a terrible time, and their daughter oh my ......
I am speechless, and terribly sadden.
Media circus needs to pause for this family and let them grieve.
Prayers and love I am sending to the family and his loved ones at this time.

12. Loved the woman shouting for the paps to leave them alone! Bravo to who ever it was.

Why don't you guys go follow Britney instead? I'm sure it's only a matter of time before she does another stupid thing.

13. TMZ- I find it absolutly sickning that you are following the Williams/Ledger family around like animals!
Leave them alone---- do you not have ANY respect!!!! Your ethics in journalism is a far cry from respect. I don't think I want to read your site again- after this...

Posted at 12:28PM on Jan 24th 2008 by Candice

14. I think you should leave them alone also! I am glad to see that you took the live steam of the funeral home off from this morning! Don't get me wrong I do love TMZ but that is just LOW!! Photographing people that are greiving the loss of someone very dear to them!!!!!! That is just wrong!!

Oh btw...her name is Busy Phillips....if you watched Dawson Creek at all you would know that is her correct name!

15. So TMZ posts the statement from the Ledger family about respecting privacy during a terrible time, and then they stalk the mourners. You may get extra traffic on your website right now, but ultimately you are shooting yourself in the foot because you are alienating people with your heartlessness. Not only that but you posted all sorts of falsehoods regarding Ledger's death because you were too eager to be the first to report. You've made huge asses of yourselves.
