Well, it may be true, every last word, for all I know.... but that still doesn't mean Gilliam or anyone else has any business dishing this dirt on a man who has passed away and his ex who very obviously won't come foward to comment no matter what slander or "truth" these people level at her and her relationship with her daughter's father.
Even if every word is true it reflects extremely poorly on Gilliam that he doesn't just keep his mouth shut - the main thing he risks is hurting Matilda, and whatever went on in Heath's life that was the last thing he'd ever have wanted.
I agree with everything you've written in your posts, Mikaela. It's appalling that Terry Gilliam said those things in public.
Back in the last century, when I was a lass, I used to love watching Monty Python. I felt warmly toward Michael Palin, and John Cleese, and Eric Idle, and Graham Chapman, they gave off good vibes to me, but Terry Gilliam always creeped me out, and I avoided skits and episodes with him in them.
Heath admired him mightily though.
