Zelda Williams Debunks Robin Williams Monkey Myth

On the tenth anniversary of Robin Williams' death, his daughter, Zelda Williams, addressed a viral social media post claiming he owned a pet monkey, which she firmly debunked. The post featured a photo of her father with a monkey, misrepresented as taken shortly before his suicide in 2014. Zelda clarified that the monkey was Crystal, a co-star from the 'Night at the Museum' films, and emphasized her father's lack of ownership of exotic pets, urging support for local animal rescues instead. She noted that misinformation often circulates on the anniversary of her father's death and encouraged followers to disregard such posts. Zelda also reflected on her father's struggles with health issues leading up to his tragic passing, highlighting the complexity of his condition. The conversation around his legacy continues to be shaped by both fond memories and the need to correct misconceptions.
