Spanian asked Williams about her fears of living with Carl. As he was well known for being the type of man “that would hide behind a bush, jump out, and shoot you in both the head”, Williams replied.
Williams claimed that only weak people fear her husband, and that it is weak people who kill him in prison.
Carl Williams is Australia’s most famous gangster because of his central role in Melbourne’s gangland warfare, which rocked the city in late 1990s and early 2000s. He was the subject of the hit television series Underbelly.

Williams claimed she believed that someone paid her to kill her husband. She also claimed that Carl was once surrounded by police officers who entered his cell and gave him the ‘green signal’ if they paid $20,000 per month.

Williams claimed that Williams’ children have never doubted her love for them, and that she learned to treat them with love after a difficult upbringing.
Williams stated that her mother attempted to drown her six-year-old daughter in a bathtub and tried again to inject nail polish remover into her eyes. Williams was then abandoned on the streets three years later.
She said, “The first time that I understood what love was was when he (her son) was in my arms.”
“I thought that this little boy needs me to love and care for him. I looked at him, and thought “I would kill for you.”
‘I love and look after my children that’s all that matters to me. I can live my life knowing that they will never doubt who I am.

The widow was not apologetic when she was asked if she was sorry for her life with Carl Williams.
“I don’t feel I owe anyone an explanation. That’s the story of my life and I don’t give a f**k,’ Williams said.
“It would be wrong for me to say sorry if I had been with Carl, and I don’t regret it.” Why the f**k should I be sorry? He was the one I loved with all of my heart.
In August, Roberta Williams was convicted and put on a community correction order for blackmailing television producer Ryan Naumenko and arranging for associates to assault and intimidate him in 2019.
