Rehab Story is "A Lie"

Michelle Williams is fighting back against Us Weekly and their new cover story.

In this week’s issue, the mag claims that Heath Ledger used and abused alcohol, heroin, cocaine and pills.

Us also reports that Williams attempted to get the actor help, but that he refused to go to rehab. It also purports that Michelle recently refused to let Heath see their daughter, Matilda, unless he got drug tested regularly.

But that’s not true, claims Williams’ publicist.

Mara Buxbaum, who was also Ledger’s rep, just issued the following statement on Michelle’s behalf:

“Much of the tabloid reporting is inaccurate. This fabricated story of Michelle Williams attempting to bring Heath Ledger to rehab is just one lie among many. The speculation is heinous. Let this family grieve privately.”

Wonder if Michelle’s publicist will comment on Heath’s shocking drug video, which Entertainment Tonight and The Insider are planning to broadcast??
