Zelda Williams urged fans to stop sharing AI‑generated videos of her late father, calling the content shameful and demanding respect for his memory.
Zelda Williams posted on X on September 21, 2026, condemning a circulating "private video" of her father, Robin Williams, as AI‑generated and not convincing. She told fans to "leave him out of your delusional bullshit and let him rest," urging them to have shame for using his likeness.
Williams referenced earlier pleas, noting she asked fans in October 2025 on Instagram to stop sending AI videos of her dad and described such content as "dumb, a waste of time and energy" and not what he would want. She also mentioned reviving her father's Instagram account with siblings Zak and Cody to combat what she called "rampant AI abuse" of his voice and likeness.
The piece notes that Robin Williams, who died in 2014, has become a frequent target for AI recreation as users share augmented videos of the actor. The reporting is limited to Williams' statements and the article's context.
