Michelle Williams Speaks on Death of Heath Ledger
Michelle Williams has spoken out publicly for the first time since her ex-fiance, Heath Ledger, tragically passed away in his apartment January 22.
Williams and Ledger co-starred in Brokeback Mountain (2005), which is how they met. They have a daughter named Matilda Rose. The entire industry is mourning Ledger, but Michelle is taking Heath's (still unexplained) death hardest of all.
Michelle Williams, 27, issued the following statement ...
"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 continue to 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."
So sweet, and so sad that Heath Ledger is gone.

She lost the father of her child, the man who dumped her because he hadn't wanted commitment in the first place, but hell, what did she care, she just ditched the contraception anyway.....Oh and yes, she does have REAL ugly legs, and she has a pathetic middle ages attitude to men. What she did to Heath Ledger totally sucked and it needs to be said. The guy couldn't get out of there fast enough and it's so sad that when he did get out, and you could tell he was at last enjoying himself and he was even dating a supermodel, Gemma Ward, he accidently dies from too many pills.....what a tragedy that Michelle has to hog all the limelight, that way ensuring that Heath, even in death, will always be hers. Sorry, I can't stand her.

Janet,
You're an idiot. He was a mess after leaving Michelle. Physically and emotionally. Everyone saw it. Michelle isn't hogging a damn thing. She was the love of his life and you are too spiteful to see that. They loved each other dearly and it didn't work out. Michelle hates the media as much as Heath did. I can assure you she'd be happy to be left alone by the paps. A few dates with Gemma isn't going to compare in the least to the years he spent with Michelle and Matilda. It's obvious that you can't stand her, but I think your feelings are clouding your judgment. His close friends knew what was going on between he and Michelle. He couldn't stand being away from them and would do anything for Matilda. He was miserable. Your comments are really rude toward not only Michelle, but to Heath himself and Matilda. This f-ed up idea that she trapped him with the pregnancy is hilarious. Michelle never was and never will be that kind of person. Gemma trying to get attention at the memorials was really disrespectful. She's going to use her 15 minutes of fame as much as possible, but doing it this way is really sad. I've never known two more genuine humans than Michelle and Heath. What they had was real. Whether or not you could handle that, I don't know. Get over it. You would never have the grace and beauty that Michelle has. She has behaved with nothing but class. Something you aught to look into.

Beautifully said Amy and ICAM. In a few years, Michelle will probably be one of the highest paid and most respected actors in the business. She's already well on her way. Nothing but a class act.

So here it is, as I was just thumbing through the net and just thought I would look at some pics I stumbled accross this page of Michelle holding Matilda and with a post in regards to respecting her privacy to grieve and about the loss they are feeling. About how Matilda is doing and how they want him remembered and how they know he is still with them.
This is to the lovely individuals who decided to comment and have nothing but negative things to say. It is funny you say you cannot stand somebody you don't know and strange how someone speaks as if they were there when Heath and Michelle split up. Losing someone to the eternity of death is a pain that no one can understand unless you experience first hand. This I know for I have and my loves death was publicized. This world cannot fill the void of losing good people, and for those who are grieving can definitely do without those who have nothing positive or respectful to say.
Death definitely brings enlightenment especially for those who loved the person who is now gone. It is not only sad but unfortunate that some individuals feel that making comments on appearance or relationships they really know nothing about is appropriate in any way.
For the those who contributed by defending Michelle, these are the kind of people who would be missed. To those who really have only nasty things to write if this is how you would like to be remembered then continue to write as if no one has feelings and in regards to respect you can be sure no one will treat you with any only because it is a quality you so obviously lack.
When it comes to Michelle, Matilda and Heath's family and friends the loss of Heath Ledger has been felt by more than many yet know the void he left in their lives will never be filled by anyone.
It was love and strength that gave Michelle the courage to say how they will remember Heath it would be nice if you would respect his memory.

I don't think that all the hateful words towards michelle are even respectful at all. as a parent i can totally understand why you would not want any negativity in your child's life i am not saying that heath was anything but a caring father who loved his child but she was only trying to protect her child from the outside world. she is not UGLY!!!!because if michelle was ugly heath would not have been with her in the first place. just respect the fact that these were two people who loved each other but were on different paths in life and leave it at that. only michelle and heath know the love and pain that they both shared with each other.
