When the Brian Williams catastrophe exploded several weeks ago, Brian’s daughter Allison Williams went dark. This is unusual for her, mostly because she’s a young actress on a trendy HBO show and Allison tends to love to be seen and discussed. She’s trying to be a “real actress” and a Fashion Girl. But Allison’s silence could not go on forever. So she came out to some Michael Kors events during NYFW on Tuesday and Wednesday. These are photos from the Kors eyeglasses launch yesterday, and I’m also including some of Allison’s Instagram photos. With the IG pic of Allison and Kate Hudson, Allison wrote “Back at it. Thank you all for the love and support.” But that’s not all! Allison also did a Q&A with Seth Meyers last night and they ended up talking about her dad. Some highlights:

Brian Williams’ suspension: “This has been a really hard time. We have also been very lucky, counting our blessings. We have our health, we have each other. It’s been incredible to experience the outreach from people you love, family, friends, and then people we don’t even know, strangers, just reaching out saying we want him back on TV. It’s been tough, though. Obviously, toughest on my dad, who bears the full burden of responsibility for it, but my mom has been so strong and my brother has been amazing. My dad has always been there for us a 100-percent of the time… so to be here for him is the least we can do.”

She still thinks her dad is trustworthy: “One thing the experience has not done is shake my trust and belief in him as a man. He’s a really good man. He’s an honest man. He’s a truthful man. He has so much integrity. He cares so much about journalism. And yes, he’s a really good dad. I know you can trust him because, as any good daughter does, I’ve tested him on that.”

In 2003, she worried that her dad wouldn’t come back from Iraq in time for a father-daughter dance: “As that date was coming, it didn’t seem like he was going to make it like he had promised. And then a couple days before the dance I was so upset and I got a surprise call from Iraq from my dad and he asked me if I had a date to the dance. So, that’s the kind of man he is and I can’t wait for him to be back on TV and I know many of you guys feel that way.”

Her wedding plans are on hold: “It’s been a very full year. You sort of think, ‘What could possibly come along that would make me not think about this?’ And then I get Peter Pan and I think, ‘Okay, I will think only about Neverland and then we’ll go back to planning our wedding’ and then current events started happening and so that derailed it a little bit, but it has been this really beautiful throughline in our lives. It’s just something we haven’t focused on, but, spoiler alert, we are excited!”

Well, I mean… what’s she going to say? We were in such a rush to hear from Allison, but she didn’t say anything new or controversial. She supports her dad. And she wants to believe that he’s always told the truth. Even when it’s pretty obvious he was (and is?) a liar and a fantasist. I feel sorry for Allison a little bit, but I do think this is funny: “Obviously, toughest on my dad, who bears the full burden of responsibility for it…” She supports her dad but she just wants to stress that: it’s HIS issue. Her dad was awesome when nepotism was helping her career, but now that he’s persona non grata, even Allison wants to stress that it’s HIS issue.
