HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Michelle Williams is shooting down a report that she's skipping out on "The Dark Knight" premiere because of a feud with the family of her late husband, Heath Ledger.
"The presumption that Michelle ever intended to attend 'The Dark Knight' premiere is unfounded, but to say she is 'boycotting' due to a rift with Heath's family is absurd," Williams's rep, Mara Buxbaum, said in a statement.
"It is time to allow this family to go about their lives without this continued scrutiny and speculation," she added.
The New York Post recently reported that Williams, 27, was planning to skip the premiere in order to avoid seeing Ledger's family, who are flying in from Perth, Western Australia to attend the July 14 premiere in New York City. A source said she was still "furious" with them because she "has seen nothing" from Ledger's will.
Ledger died on Jan. 22 of a prescription drug overdose in New York City at the age of 28.
