Conservative website, the Drudge Report, pointed to an article posted online saying that a friend blames the cross-dressing father role that Robin Williams had to reprise for the comedian's apparent suicide.
In the link that will take the readers to a story posted on The Telegraph, one of Williams' friends said that the Oscar-winning actor hated the idea of having to come up with a sequel for Mrs. Doubtfire.
According to the story, the undisclosed friend and neighbor told The Telegraph that the actor did not like working on movies like the sequel of one of his most beloved characters, but felt the need to do so because he need to keep earning money.
The actor was shooting four new projects before he committed suicide.
Based on the claims of the friend, Williams did not like to make more films because they apparently "brought out his demons," and they were not favorable to the state of his mental well-being.
"Robin had promised himself he would not do any more as he invested so much in his roles that it left him drained and particularly vulnerable to depressive episodes," the friend stated.
The friend also said, "He signed up to do them purely out of necessity. He wasn't poor, but the money wasn't rolling in any more and life is expensive when you have to pay off two ex-wives and have a family to support."
William's friend continued: "He didn't like being away from the family for too long, which was a big issue for him when he was shooting films. That's why he agreed to do the TV show (The Crazy Ones). It was filmed nearby in San Francisco and they were very flexible with him."
The anonymous friend also said that the actor was heartbroken when the show was cancelled since it helped him pay his bills.
In the article's conclusion, the friend believes that Williams took his life not because of the lack of money or work alone, but because of a "confluence" of a lot of different reasons.
