The loss of Robin Williams to suicide still stings as more details of his life come to light. It’s hard to fathom why the bright star took his own life, but Robin Williams’ suicide has new secrets being revealed, including his wife, Susan Schneider, who isolated suicidal Robin while fighting to control the actor and his money.
Robin and Susan’s marriage began in 2011, and the family accepted her because it meant so much to Williams. The couple seemed to be happy, and but Radar reports Schneider began changing as the marriage went on. Initially, Susan would always come to visit him on set. Robin loved it when she took interest in him and his projects, but after he put a ring on her finger and Schneider changed. Susan would only spend time with Robin when she could parade him around in front of press.
“The children and the rest of Robin’s family wanted to make things work and put in the effort because they loved him and wanted him to be happy,” Radar’s source explained. “And they seemed like they really loved one another so everyone wanted to be a part of that. But slowly they all got shut off.” Williams wasn’t even allowed to see his kids on his birthday, and spent most of his free time alone.
It appears Susan Schneider began methodically isolating Robin. Susan definitely wasn’t all that she initially presented herself to be according to Robin’s children. “She says one thing and it turns out to be completely different. That in and of itself revealed deceitful orientation — and that theme of deceit carried on through the final year of their marriage,” the source shared.
Just a few months before Robin Williams committed suicide, Susan’s behavior was described as “odd” and the source noted Schneider managed to cut Robin’s kids completely out of the family. Essentially, Robin’s third wife isolated Robin from his own children. William’s reportedly confided in a few friends he was onto her, as the insider claims he didn’t trust her.
Schneider also allegedly “made indications” she wanted control over Robin Williams and his money. Susan reportedly indicated she should be responsible for Robin’s “well-being” and estate after he began suffering from Parkinson’s disease. Basically, Schneider used her husband’s health issues to push him into giving her control after she managed to edge out Robin’s kids. Williams seemed to be on to her according to the source, “Robin was aware of this. And unfortunately, his health was what led him to fear that he would ultimately be under the control of someone he didn’t trust. Things came to light that Susan wanted to basically put Robin away, like in a facility, where she would have absolute control and they would never see him. She is a callous, cold woman.”
Robin Williams’ kids attempted to reach out as the situation unraveled. They called him every trying to reassure Robin he would “be ok” and they would always be there for him. “And they were there up until the end because they were concerned,” the insider elaborated.
In early August, Susan Schneider seemingly abandoned Robin Williams to go on a solo vacation for a week. It seems like an odd move, but it seems clear there was trouble in their marriage. Perhaps Robin fought her attempts to isolate him and send him away to facility. One thing is clear, Robin “didn’t feel in control” and felt “he married to someone whose motives went beyond love.”
How incredibly sad. Money and power makes people do awful things. What do you think? Did Susan Schneider play a part in Robin William’s suicide?
