1. > “It’s been brought to my attention some probably AI written BS like this is going viral. Dad didn’t own a pet monkey, NO ONE should, and if you’re ever tempted to, support your local exotic animal rescues instead.”

3. Do you have a lye-senzz for your Min-Kee?

4. I love Zelda Williams so fucking much

5. That was Aladdin with the Monkey not the Genie.

6. If Robin Williams ever talked about petting his monkey, let me, someone who has seen his standup videos, assure you now that he was not referring to an actual literal primate but, more likely, an appendage to be named when the people who took him literally are old enough.

7. What a bizarre thing to make up

8. I hated norm and Mindy and pretty much everything he did he was phoney and coked up.

9. Haven’t you always wanted a monkey?
   And some really expensive ketchup.

10. Was this based off the image that’s been circulating of the monkey on Williams’ shoulder?

11. I feel like the source of this could have been this: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jw4cMfuW4hc](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jw4cMfuW4hc) – which is a wonderful moment caught on film.

12. All respect to the Williams family but I’m gonna keep believing in Robins secret monkey.

13. I only just learned recently that he was a gamer. And now I just learned his daughters name is Zelda. That’s so cool.

14. Everybody got something to hide ‘cept for me and my monkey!

15. While he didn’t have a pet monkey, he was 100% friends with a gorilla.

16. Of course he didnt since he finished Jumanji.

17. Young Robin definitely strikes me as someone who could have gone through a pet monkey phase.

18. My father didn’t have a pet monkey. He was just very hairy.

19. Well I heard that the monkey one time put on a wig and makeup and he looked like a little old lady and the rest is history.

20. This woman has been constantly haunted by her father’s passing thanks to idiots on the internet. She posted on Twitter some years back about how people won’t allow her to let him truly rest because they’re either asking about him or posting shit online about him or making up crazy shit.

21. Big shout-out to Zelda, who has shared her dad with us in so many ways

    If our pain is immense, I cannot imagine hers
