Michelle Williams Snubs Heath Ledger's Family

Heath Ledger’s parents Kim and Emma are expected to fly to America for the Dark Knight premiere next month, but the late actor’s ex Michelle Williams won’t be in attendance following a feud with her daughter’s grandparents over inheritance according to reports.

The first screening of the new Batman movie is expected to be in New York on July 14th, and some are speculating it will be a tribute to Heath, who plays The Joker in the new film.

The Brokeback Mountain star’s family are believed to be flying in from Australia to honour their lost son, but Williams will be avoiding them at all costs, claims Page Six.

An insider said: "Michelle is furious with Heath's family and threatening to boycott the premiere. Matilda is supposed to be the beneficiary of the will, but Michelle has seen nothing from them. Heath didn't have much in cash, but there was a big house in LA and a back-end deal for 'Dark Knight' [that] could reap millions."

Ledger's will, filled out in 2003 before Matilda was born, left everything to his father, mother and sisters. But Matilda is now considered the beneficiary, and Kim is the executor. Williams is said to be scared that by the time Matilda is able to inherit the money at 18, nothing will be left.
