Brittany Murphy’s husband wants to sue Hollywood now

January 27th, 2010 // 47 Comments

So remember when Simon Monjack said not being in Happy Feet 2 is what really killed Brittany Murphy and we all had a couple laughs? He’s literally going to sue Warner Bros. for wrongful-death over it:

The Daily Beast has learned that Simon Monjack, the much-maligned husband of Brittany Murphy, is only days away from filing a wrongful-death action against Warner Brothers, claiming that the studio is responsible for the unexpected death of the 32-year-old actress last December. “They killed her,” he told me. Although the Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office hasn’t released a final cause of death, Monjack and Brittany’s mother, Sharon, who also spoke to me, are convinced that the once-promising star died of a heart attack from the stress caused by Warner Brother’s canceling of a contract just two weeks before she died. Murphy was excited to have begun production on the sequel to the animated hit Happy Feet, but when she was fired by Warner Brothers, Monjack says, “She was devastated.”

Excellent move. Because suing an entire movie studio for somehow killing his 32-year-old wife in her own shower doesn’t at all make Simon Monjack look guilty. No, really, what was the thought process here?

SIMON: I should probably get the heat off me fast… I know! I’ll eat this stick of butter. I mean, sue Warner Bros. — No, both! Nom nom nom nom.
BRITTANY’S GHOST: I switched all the butter with non-fat margarine while you were sleeping.
SIMON: What did I ever do to you?! Oh, right.

Based on actual events.

    Him and OJ should team up as a hilarious crime-fighting duo, bounded together by their restless mutual search for “the real killers”.

    I think I’d have more success suing the Fish writer for emotional distress for showing me that last pic of Jabba the Monjack’s ass. Or Donatella Versace’s breasts. Or Madonna’s anything.

    I know that Brittney was an actress, but you can really see her flinch in photo #3 when Tubbo tries to kiss her. It also looks like that little dog was lost at that moment.

    And it wasn’t too brilliant of Simon to have lots of perscrip drugs lying around the house for those special times when Brittney got really really insecure.

    But, by all means Simon, file a wrongful death lawsuit against NBC (and against Gelson’s too, while you are at it).

    Making a movie, record or even a band with a type 2 diabetic is a real pain in the ass. Its worse then a drug addict
    These people get horrible mood swings, get batshit crazy, never sleep and have to stop, bitch, eat and pee every hour.
    Its months of pure insaniety on the set or in the studio

    Look, if you’re going to sue Warner Brothers for anything, sue them for that abomination “Catwoman”. Maybe you can file a class action suit with Halle Berry.

    “Berry arrived at the ceremony to accept her Razzie in person (with her Best Actress Oscar for Monster’s Ball in hand), saying: ‘First of all, I want to thank Warner Brothers. Thank you for putting me in a piece of shit, god-awful movie . . . It was just what my career needed.’ “

    Uh, yeah. Sure. Go ahead & sue Warner Brothers, you fat tub of lard. While you’re at it, sue Nostredamus, Jesus & Santa Claus. You have a better chance of stealing money from them, you fat money grubbing piece of shit.

    Brittany murphy was an OK actress, who was WAY too highly strung. More than likely, the stress of her being an emotional wreck to begin with is what killed her. Let’s not make her out ot be someone she’s not. She definitely doesn’t deserve this handwringing & browbeating. Too bad she’s gone, but let’s move on…

    #17/19/28 The ass you’re talking out of is bigger than Monjack’s since Halle Berry, Victor Garber, Wilford Brimley, Delta Burke and Mary Tyler Moore, to name a few, are all working – so clearly they have no trouble getting hired. If you’re an undependable high-strung basket case who nods off on the set and can’t remember your lines, THAT will get you fired.
    BTW, Murphy’s mother was the one who said she had a history of diabetes, but then again she and Monjack told everyone Murphy didn’t have an eating disorder and never abused presecription drugs.

    How can you sue without the cause of death? I am confused that Murphy played a role in the movie “Spun”, which makes me skeptical of the use a methamphetamines. Did she ever like the drug?
