Zelda Williams Taunted On Twitter After Robin Williams’ Death


Some people are just awful. Zelda Williams, the daughter of Robin Williams, has received an enormous amount of in the wake of her father’s death. Unfortunately, she’s also received a few sick messages.

Zelda decided to quit social media today after she reportedly received a few altered images of her father. It’s unclear what the images showed exactly but E! Online reports that they were taken after Robin committed suicide.

Zelda writes: “Please report @PimpStory @MrGoosebuster. I’m shaking. I can’t. Please. Twitter requires a link and I won’t open it. Don’t either. Please.”

Some people have also been criticizing Zelda Williams for not spending enough time with her father. Their evidence? Zelda only has a few photos of her father on Instagram.

Williams addressed the accusations in a post on Instagram. Zelda writes: “I will be leaving this account for a but while I heal and decide if I’ll be deleting it or not. In this difficult time, please try to be respectful of the accounts of myself, my family and my friends. Mining our accounts for photos of dad, or judging me on the number of them is cruel and unnecessary. There are a couple throughout, but the real private moments I shared with him were precious, quiet, and believe it or not, not full of photos or ‘selfies.’ I shared him with a world where everyone was taking their photo with him, but I was lucky enough to spend time with him without cameras too. That was more than enough, and I’m grateful for what little time I had. My favorite photos of family are framed in my house, not posted on social media, and they’ll remain there. They would’ve wound up on the news or blogs then, and they certainly would now. That’s not what I want for our memories together. Thank you for your respect and understanding in this difficult time. Goodbye. Xo.”

Zelda Williams left one final message on her blog before saying goodbye to social media. It’s a touching tribute to her father as well as a heartfelt thank you to all of her fans for their support.

Zelda writes: “My family has always been private about our time spent together. It was our way of keeping one thing that was ours, with a man we shared with an entire world. But now that’s gone, and I feel stripped bare. My last day with him was his birthday, and I will be forever grateful that my brothers and I got to spend that time alone with him, sharing gifts and laughter. He was always warm, even in his darkest moments. While I’ll never, ever understand how he could be loved so deeply and not find it in his heart to stay, there’s minor comfort in knowing our grief and loss, in some small way, is shared with millions. It doesn’t help the pain, but at least it’s a burden countless others now know we carry, and so many have offered to help lighten the load. Thank you for that.

“To those he touched who are sending kind words, know that one of his favorite things in the world was to make you all laugh. As for those who are sending negativity, know that some small, giggling part of him is sending a flock of pigeons to your house to poop on your car. Right after you’ve had it washed. After all, he loved to laugh too…

“Dad was, is and always will be one of the kindest, most generous, gentlest souls I’ve ever known, and while there are few things I know for certain right now, one of them is that not just my world, but the entire world is forever a little darker, less colorful and less full of laughter in his absence. We’ll just have to work twice as hard to fill it back up again.”

Let’s hope that Zelda Williams can escape some of the negativity by taking a break from social media and let’s hope that Robin Williams sends pigeon poop to all of the people who are harassing his daughter.
