Wunmi Obe Attacks Robin Williams’ Widow In Scathing and Heartless Open Letter
Wunmi Obe has used the further news that have come to light since his death by apparent suicide to pluck what she says are gaping holes in the statement released by the widow of late American comedian Robin Williams.
Susan Schneider wrote of her grief, and heartbreak at the loss of her husband and best friend, and asked for privacy. Read full statement HERE.
But Wunmi Obe, married to husband Tunde Obe for 16 years - and I'm sure she has seen her fair share of the ups and downs of marriage, including bad health, bad finances, infidelity, etc - is not granting Susan Schneider that privacy. Wunmi is not even extending a hand of sympathy or understanding as someone who has experienced celebrity death in the family.
A seemingly very pissed off Wunmi Obe took to Facebook to comment:

After police confirmed yesterday that Robin Williams died by hanging himself with a belt, new reports about the 63-year-old have revealed the true state of affairs for the well loved actor and comedian.
His wife Susan Schneider last saw him when she went to bed at 10pm Sunday. He went to a different bedroom and she believed he was still asleep when she left the house the next morning about 10.30am.
An assistant, worried when he couldn't be roused at 11.45am, and broke into the bedroom. The assistant called 911 at 11:55am, emergency personnel arrived at noon, and at 12:02 he was pronounced dead.
In addition to hanging himself, he had superficial cuts on his body and his wrists. Police found a pocketknife with what appeared to be dried blood nearby. Toxicology reports are pending and will take two to six weeks.

#RIPRobin Williams - Talks On Battling Alcohol Addiction And Being Famous
Robin Williams revealed in a 2010 interview via [Mirror UK] how he succumbed to his alcohol addiction in 2006 after 20 years of being sober. That period of his life coincided the end of his second marriage.
After this interview, Robin Williams continued working and even got married for the third time to wife Susan Schneider. However he passed away yesterday of an apparent suicide after a bout of depression.
May his soul rest in peace. Amen.
"I was filming in Alaska. I was away from everything, I was kind of isolated from things I normally get to do, like ride my bike, seeing friends and family.
All of a sudden I thought, 'I've been 20 years sober, I can drink a little'. It's like, 'I can be somewhat circumcised'. It's that idea that you can have one drink - and no you can't.
