Michelle Williams will not be attending the Batman premiere
Michelle Williams has confirmed she will not be attending the premiere of her late boyfriend Heath Ledger’s final complete film The Dark Knight – because there is no reason for her to be there.
The actress has been at the centre of recent reports claiming she is snubbing the much-hyped event due to a feud between herself and the tragic actor’s family over the handling of his estate.
But the star’s representative Mara Buxbaum is keen to put the rumours to rest once and for all, insisting the actress is not feuding with the Ledgers – and insisting Williams never intended to walk the premiere’s red carpet.
She says, “There is misinformation all over the place. (The premiere) was never on her calendar and she’s not in the movie. This isn’t a press event for her. She’s not going, there is no reason.”
Ledger’s parents and sister are expected to jet to New York from their home in Perth, Australia, to attend the premiere on July 14th – six months after Ledger took an accidental overdose at his Manhattan apartment.

Does she have to have a reason to attend this premiere? It is after all the father of her daughters last finished film. She went all the way to Australia for his funeral even though there were two memorials here in the states for him. Now she can’t make it to Heath’s last movie premiere here in her own state of New York? Odd!!

Good, as his ex who he dumped for a reason no doubt, she has no right to be there. If anything, Gemma Ward who was his current girlfriend at the time of dying and had been far longer than what people realize, should be there, not that she will attend because their relationship was so precious to her she doesn’t want the press asking her questions about Heath, who she’s still grieving for.
