Late movie star’s daughter begs fans to stop sending her AI videos of her dad

Robin Williams’ daughter, Zelda Williams, has a special request for fans of her late father: Stop sending her AI videos of him.

Zelda, 36, took to her Instagram Stories on Monday, Oct. 9, to make it clear that she doesn’t want to see the deepfake videos and believes people should stop creating them entirely.

“Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad,” Zelda said in the now-expired social media post, per BBC.

“Stop believing I wanna see it or that I’ll understand, I don’t and I won’t. If you’re just trying to troll me, I’ve seen way worse, I’ll restrict and move on.”

Zelda continued: “But please, if you’ve got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It’s dumb, it’s a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it’s NOT what he’d want.”

Zelda, who works as an actor and director, is best known for directing the 2024 movie “Lisa Frankenstein” and voicing Kuvira in the Nickelodeon series “The Legend of Korra.”

She rarely posts about her late father, who died by suicide on August 11, 2014, indicating that this was really bothering her.

Zelda is one of Robin’s three kids. Robin had Zelda and her brother Cody with his second wife, Marsha Garces Williams. Robin is also the father of Zak Williams, who he shared with his first wife, Valerie Velardi. At the time of his death, he was married to Susan Schneider Williams.

In July, Zak marked what would have been their father’s 74th birthday in an emotional Instagram post.

“My father lived to make people feel seen. He gave permission to feel deeply and to laugh through the pain. In his absence, that mission continues,” Zak wrote of the “Mrs. Doubtfire” star.

Robin’s acting career spanned nearly four decades, with him rising to fame on the sitcom “Mork & Mindy,” before going on to star in a wide range of films like “Dead Poets Society” and “Good Will Hunting.” Of the 86 awards he was nominated for, he won 66. He worked up until his death in 2014.
