"Heart Broken" Michelle Releases Statement

Michelle WilliamsTen days after the death of Heath Ledger, former fianceé and baby mama Michelle Williams released a statement. It reads:

"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."

122. How are you going to protect your daughter from the truth when she is older that her father was just another Hollywood Drug Head LOSER?

123. Garrett, when are you going to accept that the total loser is you. Yes, he used drugs. He stopped. The video that is being shown has been proven to be a fake. Get over yourself.

124. Ferris, I'm sorry your family has mostly died. Maybe that's why you are what you are. A total a**hole. Yes, people die. It will happen to everyone. That doesn't mean we don't grieve. Grief is one of the things that makes us human. What does it make you?

128. 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.

129. 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.

130. Michelle,
May God Bless you and keep you strong.
I cannot even find the proper words to express my sadness for you and Matilda.
I am so sorry and sad that she will miss knowing the beautful man and person her dad was...may she know him through the memories that you share with her...and all of the films that made all of us fall in love with Heath too!
Peace & Love,
Cydney

131. What's with the bad picture? There are so many good ones I don't understand why this one was posted...

132. Baby mama? How disrespectful. Are you that jaded? That picture? What a lowdown insult to Ms. Williams. Who are you people?

133. #121 he said in the video "i'm gonna get s#it off m girlfiend for this, we just had a baby 3 months ago" Never did he say about being stopped from seeing her. People need to stop believing every piece of crap they read. Nobody apart from Heath and Michelle know the truth so stop speculating. She just lost the man she loved and her daughters daddy she deserves time to grieve privately. That will be the reason she even released the statement in the hope that now they might back off. Not so jacka##es like you and the rest who berate her can have reason talk crap about her. RIP Heath and my condolences to his family and loved ones

134. MIchelle William's statement is genuine and comes from the heart, which makes her pain that much more obvious and sad to me. You can tell the woman understood and loved this man. Her statement is truly moving. May the angels watch over them.

135. To all the people who are saying hateful things about Michelle because they believe she should have done something to stop his drug use:

That has nothing to do with her grief.
When someone dies, all you can think of are the things you didn't do and the things you'll never be able to do:
The time you didn't return his call
The visit you didn't make
The email you didn't write

All the things you won't be able to share like a child's first step, her first words. her first day of school, her first date, her first big breakup, her prom, her graduation, her wedding day and, worst of all, growing old together.

You never stop grieving.
