When Heath Ledger died, his family promised to help Michelle Williams care for the daughter that she and Heath had, little Matilda. Turns out they aren't doing any of that.
The family has been fighting like dogs over Heath's estate since his death in January of this year. His uncles wanted his father removed as executor of the estate because he screwed up being executor of his own father's (Heath's grandfather's) estate 15 years ago. The uncles claimed it isn't because they would gain anything finiancially, they just wanted to make sure Heath's daughter was well cared for.
Now Michelle is threatening not to show up for the premiere of The Dark Knight which unless you've been living in a cave for the past six months, you should know was Heath's final film.
According to Page Six: An insider said, "Michelle is furious with Heath's family and threatening to boycott the premiere. Matilda is supposed to be the beneficiary of the will, but Michelle has seen nothing from them. Heath didn't have much in cash, but there was a big house in LA and a back-end deal for 'Dark Knight' [that] could reap millions."
This would be all well and good, except that Heath's will was written in 2003 before he met Michelle Williams and thusly, before Matilda was even born.
I can understand her frusterations, but I'm trying to figure out why not showing up for a movie premiere is gonna get her anywhere. I do think his daughter is entitled to something, I just think there are more effective ways of getting it accomplished.
