Apparently the guy from that Succession show moved in with Michelle Williams after Heath Ledger died "for the sake of her daughter"
After Ledger died in 2008, Strong moved into Williams' home in Brooklyn, which was also cohabitated by Williams' sister and a friend. In an interview with Variety published Tuesday, Williams recalled how her friend and former theater castmate helped her daughter with Ledger navigate the grief, including letting her ride on his back like a pony for hours on end.
"Jeremy was serious enough to hold the weight of a child's broken heart and sensitive enough to understand how to approach her through play and games and silliness," Williams said, adding "[Matilda] didn't grow up with her father, but she grew up with her Jeremy and we were changed by his ability to play as though his life depended upon it, because hers did."
a few years ago, this story would have made me go "that's so sweet 🥺" but now all I can think about is "why the fuck would you let some rando ass man move into your house solely for the sake of getting close to your daughter?". This story is setting off more red flags than a communist rally. How is this not a safeguarding violation?
Also why is it framed like the scrote was doing Michelle some massive ass favor when he was the one moving into HER house rent free, along with all the other benefits that come with cohabitation with three women, one of whom is providing you with unrestricted access to her small child?
I hope for the sake of that little girl that I'm being an overly paranoid misandrist bitch and this guy really was the wholesome surrogate father her mom clearly believes he was. I hope that in ten years, she won't come out with grooming/ SA allegations. But idk....
Just saying, if I had a kid, and some guy come up to me and ask if he could move in to my house so that he could get close to her, I would call 911 so fast.
What do you guys think?
You're not crazy, I think it's icky, too, and - sue me - think many single mothers are so obsessed with finding a new man that they completely forget about the safety of their children, which should be the absolute priority, even if that means that you don't let any strange men (including romantic partners) into your house for a decade or more until your children are grown. Your wish for companionship, romance and sex does not outweigh your duty to protect your child and if you think so, you are a shitty mother. Period.
Yeah, I feel the same way you do. And you're not a paranoid misandrist b*tch to think this way. Men have proofed over and over that they're not to be trusted with vulnerable people and children.
If a bio father could sexually abuse his own flesh and blood, what's stopping unrelated males from doing the same to random children they get access to?
Fingers crossed he's not a pedo and just taking advantage of the naivety to get a room and a board++.
His behavior is questionable. It seems like he moved in with her when she was at her most vulnerable.
