Don’t Even Think About Publishing Photos of Matilda Ledger Without Michelle Williams’s Permission

Earlier this week, Michelle Williams (the actress) took her daughter, Matilda Ledger, out for a night on the town. They saw Finding Neverland on Broadway, and even had a chance to meet its star, Matthew Morrison, backstage!

A photograph of that happy moment was taken, and published on plenty of websites the next day:

But soon after that photo made the rounds, everyone who published it apparently got a call from Ms. Williams, who probably said something like, “Hello. This is Michelle Williams. Take. That. Photo. Down.” Then, about 20 seconds later, she probably called back and said, “By the way, this is Michelle Williams, the actress,” and hung up.

The Daily Mail, The Huffington Post, E! Online, and Too Fab are just a few of the sites that have since removed the photo. In its place, they’ve added updates like:

UPDATE: This post originally included a photo of Matilda that was not approved by Michelle. It has since been removed at her request.

Other websites—like Just Jared, Perez Hilton, and InStyle—just took their posts down.
