Robin Williams’ daughter Zelda quits social media after harassment

Kevin Winter/Getty Images Zelda Williams (L) has decided to quit social media after harassment in the wake of her father’s death.

Zelda Williams is abandoning her social media accounts after online bullying in the wake of her father’s death has proved to be too much.

The 25-year-ancient daughter of Robin Williams said she’s taking some time away from her Twitter and Instagram pages, saying the hurtful messages about her dad and judgment about her photos have been “cruel and unnecessary.”

“I will be leaving this account for a while (while) I heal and choose if I’ll be deleting it or not,” she wrote in a lengthy Instagram message.

“In this hard time, please try to be respectful of the accounts of myself, my family and my friends. Mining our accounts for photos of dad, or judging me on the number of them is cruel and unnecessary. There are a couple throughout, but the real private moments I shared with him were precious, silent, and believe it or not, not full of photos or ‘selfies.’”

zeldawilliams via Instagram Williams posted a lengthy message to Instagram in response to evaluation about her lack of photos of her dad.

The actress apparently received evaluation for not posting enough photos with her well-known dad, who committed suicide Monday. Additional anonymous users went as far as criticizing Robin Williams, and his career, by leaving messages on his daughter’s page.

“I shared him with a world where everyone was taking their photo with him, but I was lucky enough to spend time with him without cameras too,” her message continued.

“That was more than enough, and I’m grateful for what little time I had. My favorite photos of family are framed in my household, not posted on social media, and they’ll remain there. They would’ve wound up on the news or blogs then, and they certainly would now. That’s not what I want for our memories together. Thank you for your respect and understanding in this hard time. Goodbye. Xo”

On Twitter, Williams spent time Tuesday fighting online bullies. She encouraged people to report the anonymous users who were sending her mean comments and apparently horrific Photoshopped pictures of her dad, Us Weekly reports.

Later she deleted her request, and decided to give up her account all together.

“I’m sorry. I should’ve risen above,” the “Nine Months” actress wrote. “Deleting this from my devices for a good long time, maybe forever. Time will tell. Goodbye.”
