Zelda Williams, daughter of the later Robin Williams, has returned to social media after removing Twitter and Instagram from her devices.
The 25-year-old removed the apps following her dad’s suicide after cyber trolls bombarded her with mean comments and even sending her images Photoshopped to look like her dad’s corpse.
“I’m sorry. I should’ve risen above. Deleting this from my devices for a good long time, maybe forever. Time will tell. Goodbye,” she Tweeted on August 12 (Robin died on August 11).
On Monday, Zelda returned to Twitter, Tweeting a link to her Tumblr page.
The Tumblr post she shared was an anti-bullying quote (which she first posted on Tumblr on January 28, 2012).
“Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one’s definition of your life; define yourself,” the quote read.
The quote was attributed to actor Harvey Fierstein.
