Robin Williams' Daughter Quits Twitter Following Abuse
|

Robin Williams’ daughter Zelda Williams has quit Twitter, after being bombarded with harrowing messages following her father’s death.

The young actress had previously used the social media platform to thank fans for donating to St. Jude’s, her father’s favourite charity, after he was found to have taken his own life on Monday.

However, Zelda then found herself on the receiving end of some seriously hurtful comments - both about her and her Oscar-winning father - as well as Photoshopped images which supposedly showed her father after his death, according to Just Jared.

She publicly called for the users sending her the abuse to be reported, adding: “I’m shaking. I can’t. Please. Twitter requires a link and I won’t open it. Don’t either. Please.”

After deleting that message from her account, she later sent out another tweet where she revealed that she was going to take a break from Twitter, and it might well be a permanent one:
