Brooklyn Neighbors Comment on the Paparazzi:

"Former Boerum Hill resident Heath Ledger was mourned during the ceremony, and several actors demanded that the media allow Ledger’s family and the mother of his child, Michelle Williams, to grieve in private. Photographers and reporters have camped out in front of William’s Boerum Hill home since last Tuesday, when Ledger was discovered unconscious in his Soho apartment and pronounced dead at the scene.
Neighbors seem to agree with the actors. “Having people stand on your street, clearly trying to spy on your neighbors doesn’t happen in Brooklyn. And it is, frankly, unnerving,” wrote Huffington Post’s Theresa Rebeck."

Michelle's statement is heart breaking and powerful and classy. It makes me respect her even more than I did before.....
As for that video - I have also watched it - and in some ways I wish they would show it in full on the TV - to prove how they manipulated the film to get those sensational quotes. And to also explain the whole pap trying to create a ting that didn't work angle. Do you think that many people will in the end here that he in fact was up to nothing - or just hear about the video.

again we see what respect he commanded

what would be even better is if they had filmed Heath discovering he had been lured into a room prepared to seduce him into making incriminating statements to show that he was being set up. What a trial the press has put this family through!
serious crayons:
It's so outrageous. Part of me almost wishes they WOULD show the video because it's not incriminating to anyone but the paparazzi.
I keep hoping that some good will come out of all this in the form of a public backlash against scummy tabs and paps. But then I remember that paparazzi literally drove the beloved Princess Diana to her death, and even THAT didn't make a difference.
Sleazy as the tab reporters and paps are, it's the public appetite for this sort of thing that keeps them in business.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if she just put the place up for sale and never went back. First, it has to be filled with memories (not all of them good), and second, she won't get a moment's peace--nor will Matilda as she's growing up--if she stays there. If it were me, I'd cut my losses and go.
