On the anniversary of Robin Williams' death, his daughter, Zelda Williams, addressed a persistent rumor regarding her father's supposed pet monkey. The actor, known for his roles in "Jumanji" and "Mrs. Doubtfire," passed away in 2014, and his final days were documented in "Robin's Wish," which highlighted his battle with Lewy body dementia, a condition that went undiagnosed until after his death. Zelda took to social media to refute claims circulating on X/Twitter that suggested her father owned a monkey, which was purportedly photographed shortly before his passing. The post, shared by Time Capsule Tales, misidentified the animal as Williams' pet. Zelda clarified that the monkey in question was actually part of the "Night at the Museum" franchise, a project Williams was involved in before his health declined. In her response, Zelda urged followers to be cautious of misinformation, stating, “NO ONE should” believe the viral claims. She emphasized that many posts surrounding her father's death anniversary are often inaccurate or poorly researched. Meanwhile, Williams' son, Zak, paid tribute to his father, reflecting on the love and inspiration he continues to provide. He expressed his commitment to fostering a more connected and loving world, stating, “Love you forever,” as he commemorated the ten years since his father's passing.
