Michelle Williams: The Nightline Interview Was 'Devastating'

 

Michelle Williams is a pretty private person, so the people at 'Nightline' have to be patting each other on the back for getting her to open up so much about her life and the death of Heath Ledger. They can follow that pat on the back with a slap in the face from Michelle because she's ticked with the amount of editing they did to sell the story.

"It was a three-hour interview that was edited in such a way that was devastating to me. I am still such the-good-girl. I want everybody to like me ... So that desire in the moment overrode that 'me' that is on top of myself, that 'me' that is on top of a situation."

In the clip, Nightline host Cynthia McFadden asks Michelle about how she dealt with Heath Ledger's untimely death back in 2008.

"In a strange way, I miss that year, because all those possibilities that existed are gone," Williams tells McFadden in the interview. "It didn't seem unlikely to me that he could walk through a door or he could appear from behind a bush. It was a year of magical thinking."

"And in a way, I'm sad to be moving further and further away from that."

Regarding the interview, Michelle says, "They used those quotes and the way they edited the piece to sell the interview, and it appeared as if I were breaking some kind of silence and sitting down with the express purpose to discuss something that is very private to me. It all becomes rather tricky because I don't want to say something without resonance but then I don't want to go too far. Just recently I felt as if I did cross a line about all this."

Great job Nightline, Michelle will probably never speak publicly about his death again after your f-up. She has every right to be upset if she's going to finally speak about certain things in her life and they crap on it for their own ratings.

    Michelle is overreacting because she was asked about an extremely sensitive topic, one that she may have vowed not to ever speak upon, but she became comfortable and she opened up a bit.

    Nightline did absolutely nothing wrong.

    Interviewees will never like how an interview is edited, for the most part.

    This is extremely unfortunate because Nightline did a great job and Michelle honored Heath with her comments. It is shocking that she doesn't like the finished product. The piece was well done.
