Zelda Williams has requested that fans refrain from sharing AI-generated videos of her late father, Robin Williams. In a statement posted on X on September 22, 2026, she expressed her frustration over a video that was labeled as 'private' but is clearly AI-generated. Williams stated, 'Anyone who claims to be a fan who believes it clearly listened to his movies on mute because that voice is robotic and terrible.' She urged creators to leave her father out of what she described as 'delusional' content and emphasized that his legacy should not be manipulated for entertainment.
Zelda Williams has previously addressed this issue, asking fans to stop sending her AI videos of her father in October 2025. She reiterated her feelings, stating, 'It’s dumb, it’s a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it’s NOT what he’d want.' Recently, she, along with her siblings Zak and Cody, revived Robin Williams' Instagram account to combat the misuse of his likeness and voice in AI-generated content. Robin Williams passed away in 2014 at the age of 63 and has been a frequent subject of AI recreations in recent years.
