According to Us Weekly, Michelle Williams attempted to coax Heath Ledger into rehab in 2006, but he refused to get out of the car. Michelle was reportedly disturbed by Heath’s constant use of alcohol and drugs, which included cocaine, heroin and “a variety of pills,” said a source close to the couple.

In March 2006, just weeks after the couple walked the Oscars red carpet and when daughter Matilda was only five months old, Williams drove Ledger to Promises Treatment Center in Malibu, California, the confidant tells Us Weekly.

Ledger refused to check in, instead swaying her with a pledge to clean up.

Even after the couple realized “they were in way over their heads,” according to a source, and split in September 2007, two sources tell Us that Williams demanded Ledger be drug-tested before his visitations with Matilda.

Despite the end of their relationship, Michelle was inconsolable after hearing news of Heath’s death last week. “She cried and screamed as soon as she heard,” said a source on the set of her latest film, “Mammoth.”
