My "Michelle Williams" letter to the editor

Last week I wrote a letter to People Magazine about Michelle Williams. However, Kim Kardashian had a baby the next day, stopping the world from reporting anything else, and my letter wasn't printed. Luckily, I am sharing it here.

Subject: Michelle Williams
To: "editor@people.com"

In the June 24th issue you praised Michelle Williams' most recent relationship with Artist Dustin Yellin.  I believe it was in PEOPLE's cover story Love Gone Wrong Over Drugs, where unknown "friends" of Michelle Williams were quoted as saying that Michelle kept Matilda away from Heath in his final months of life because of his drug abuse. You, the most trusted celebrity magazine never wrote a retraction to this when there was never any evidence, nor did you mention when you reported on the Vanity Fair article where his friends reported Heath's side that Ledger said it was incompatibility that led to the relationships demise or that he had not had so much as an alcoholic drink in months. However, what really irritates me is Williams continues to play the poor lonely widow, who wants nothing but the best for her daughter over five years later after Ledger's death.  The reality is before Ledger's death she was dating dating Spike Jonze, who admittedly
does drugs. Then last Spring she had no problem leaving her daughter with a guy she had been dating only for a few months and who is reportedly an alcoholic (Jason Segel) while she was in another city, nor did she have a problem living with him. Now after a few months post Segel, whom Matilda had reportedly become very attached to, she has introduced her daughter to yet another boyfriend, Dustin Yellin who has a rather shady history involving drugs, overdoes and even stabbing. As recently as an April 2013 interview he even freely acknowledged dropping acid to get inspiration for his art.  I'm not judging these men's lifestyles and, as a 32 year old, Michelle is free to date whomever she chooses. However, her continuing to introduce her young daughter to all of these men, who inevitably leave her life forever, is surely detrimental to the child's psychological development.
