Michelle Williams On Her Breakup With Heath Ledger

March 7th, 2008 // 19 Comments

Michelle Williams gave an interview to “Elle” magazine on the set of her new film in Sweden just two weeks prior to his death. Ouch. In it she discusses how their break-up affected her. She said “I didn’t know where to go. I couldn’t imagine any place in the world that was gonna feel good to me.” The couple allegedly broke up due to Heath’s on-again/off-again issues with drugs. A video of him doing lines at a party was released shortly after his death. Michelle says that she buried herself in work to cope with the breakup and it’s when she wasn’t working that “things start to get a little messy”. Keep in mind that this interview was conducted prior to his death so, again, ouch.

More photos from Michelle Williams’ Elle magazine photo shoot are after the jump.

    holy crap, that stings. It’s obvious she was still in love with him. Some comments on other sites were so cruel. People thought that since they broke up, why would she be devestated by his death?? I cannot imagine what she is going through, but my heart goes out to her & Matilda.

    I saw her a couple of weeks ago via webcam. I was contacted by her first on a celeb site called ‘SearchingMillionaire.com’! I also got several of her pix.

    Since when was it confirmed that he was doing lines in a video? Please don’t report such fallacious rumors about this sensitive subject, especially when you claim to respect him and sympathize with Michelle and his family.

    If I were to “correct” someone publicly on the use of a word, I think I would want to take a minute and look it up first…

    I think “confused” knew exactly what she/he wanted to say.

    You’re an idiot. Just because you can’t deal with the fact that Heath was in love with Michelle, don’t come whining and hoping the worst for her. Jealousy is really disgusting. Michelle never stopped loving him and vice versa. Get over it. It never would have been you. It never would have been anyone else you’d hoped it would be. Stings doesn’t it? He loved her and it pisses you off. Grow up.

    Why do people on here talk and act like they know the celebrities? You’re all insane.

    There is no video of him ‘doing lines’ at a party. Please get your facts straight.

  11. kendall

    I agree. Get your facts straight. NO WHERE on that stupid clip did it show him doing ANYTHING but drinking a beer, And “anon”, F*** YOU… she didn’t kill him, an OD of perscript’s did… jack ass.

    I loved heath ledger, amazing talent, the problem of drugs got worse. Yes she should’ve helped him through it but what if she already tried, a drugged father is no way for a child to be raised. Michelle did what every responsible adult should have. An addiction is only to blame :( I miss you so much heath you were my idol.

    “Your all insane” you are a jackass, people are commenting on the issue that has been reported to them, no we may not have met michelle williams but god we hear so much about her we might as well!

    they had their issues, & it obviously didn’t work out. that doesn’t mean michelle quit caring about him, or vice versa. they might not have still loved eachother the same way they once did, but they still had love for eachother, that’s just the way it was. she was VERY lucky to have him in my opinion.

    hah michelle’s a bitch, if u love someone, u don’t just leave b/c things r a little hard to deal w. i think she is trying to look like the victum in all of this. i think she likes the attention she has gotton from all this, & she is going to spin the stories however she wants now, cause there is no way provin’ she is lyin. i think she is a very selfish person, & a fake person too, i may not know her personaly, & i may be all wrong, but sometimes you can just read people & i read her.

    Alexa, it’s “victim”, “proving”, “lying”,and

    “personally”. You do wish to be taken seriously, correct?
