Just one day after the passing of his wife, Simon Monjack decided to talk to — who else? — Access Hollywood. Ummm, I’m going to go ahead and assume he’s doing this as a knee-jerk reaction to all the gossip rags speculating about how he was a bad influence on Brittany, and because these damn reporters will not leave him alone until he hands out a quote, and not because he’s that insane of a famewhore. Honestly. I’m giving him that credit here.
“My world was destroyed yesterday,” an emotional Monjack told Access Hollywood on Monday afternoon. …
As far as what happened inside the actress’ home early Sunday, when Murphy was found unresponsive in the shower, Monjack said up to that point, it had just been “a regular day.”
“[Her mother] Sharon went into the bathroom because she had been in there a long time. Her mom screamed for me and I ran. Then called 911,” he revealed. …
With regards to the coroner noting she may have suffered from flu-like symptoms in the days leading up to her death, Monjack admitted Murphy had been sick – but it did not seem like it was anything serious.
“She had laryngitis,” he said, noting she had seen a doctor. “She had been tired at the end of the year. She had made a couple movies.”
In his interview with Access, Monjack – who married Murphy in 2007 — took exception to the idea that his wife may have been linked to people who were bad influences on her.
“I don’t know why anyone would think that,” he said. “She found love. We found love. Brittany didn’t get to where Brittany was with anyone controlling her… Brittany was Brittany.”
Authorities do not suspect foul play in Brittany’s death, but they did find “a lot” of prescription medicine in the house. Her autopsy was “normal” and the cause of death has been deferred pending the results of the toxicology report. The Coroner says he’s interested to see what drugs were in her system at her time of death.
These idiots dont know what else to invent. Lets see. She had anorexia, drug problems, flu (symptoms), diabetes, whats next? Its foul play and her husband is in it up to his head. Why he refused her autopsy from the start? Fuckers…
it wouldn’t occur to you that on the day your wife dies suddenly, you might not be comfortable with the idea of her body being subjected to an autopsy? no?
Why can’t you people just let him grieve without insinuating that he’s guilty or a famewhore? The man’s wife just suddenly died and he’s upset. Imagine that suddenly your spouse/mother/significant other just suddenly died. Would you want someone cutting them open and taking out parts of their naked body and waiting around for all that to be finished to even begin thinking about the idea of closure? All you bloggers are the same. It’s so easy to sit and judge someone from behind your computer screen. I might as well go to Perezhilton.com.
that’s what i just said
I took Topamax for close to a month. It helps prevent migraines which I’ve has Chronic Migraine Disease for 32 years. I had major shortness of breath. I ended up in the hospital for five days. I was having a major allergic reaction. The thing is, every health care person we asked, all said it wasn’t a side effect! Since then, I’ve had two heart surgeries in the span of 7 weeks and I’m still short of breath. No one knows why I still can’t catch my breath!
A bit off topic but I have been a migraine sufferer since the age of 12. I’m an old bat now and I rarely get them anymore but I always have a pill called “Amerge” in my purse no matter what. For example, I was sitting in the dentist waiting room the other day and got the familiar aura – my 10 minute warning. I popped the Amerge & it did the trick for me. (I cannot take Imitrex due to heart palpatations.) If taken during the aura, Amerge takes away the God awful pain. I get a tingly sensation on my scalp & it does make you slightly loopy. I thought I’d throw this out there to you in case this info might be of some help. Amerge gave me control of my life back. I am hyper sensitive to most meds but this one did not give me any side effects. It doesn’t PREVENT migraines but at least for me it controlled the pain immediately so that I did not end up in the ER asking for somebody to kill me!
And now back to your regular programming….
I took topamax too! My insane neurologist prescribed it to me when i was only 12, It really messed with my body but thankfully I’m on a combination of migrelief and petadolex. They’re both herbal supplements with butterbur and magnesium and they’ve worked better than any other migraine medication I’ve had. I’ve gone from a migraine about every week to not having one in months.
Did you see how he said she was trying to gain weight b/c of her naturally high metabolism…um she looked fine until a few years ago. Your body doesn’t suddenly look sickly thin without cause.
Crazy as it may seem, maybe she just DIED. It happens. I have seen many news reports around town where some kid just keeled over during gym class or whatever. Not always did they have some heart condition or drug issue. Sometimes people just die. If she was not taking care of herself and if she were depriving herself of nutrients, well, maybe that contributed. Say she did have diabetes and add to that the stress of Hollywood pressures to be “perfect” — then some super nasty virus hits her on top of it all. Plus all the legal RXs around the house…I can’t tell you how many “safe” RX meds I have been given that were TOXIC in the extreme to my body. Hell, I’m actually allergic to Claritin (the allergy medicine) and had to be given an injection of Benadryl to open my windpipe again!
Maybe we should all sit back, relax and wait for the final test results. In the meantime, it’s almost a new year — we could even all make an Evil Beet pact to take better care of ourselves in 2010.
God…her poor mother — to find her baby in such a condition! At Christmas/Holiday time at that. Sad, sad, sad. No mother should have to go through what must be agony beyond anything we can imagine.
She wanted a family and this guy used that to his advantage. She could’ve done so much better.
If you take a quick look around, most chicks could do so much better!
that’s right, ugly people are evil, that’s all the insight you need to make a personal comment about someone you have no personal affiliation with
It’s not that ugly people are evil, but people who are known con-artists certainly are.
When I look at this picture I’m sort of sickened. He looks like a creepy middle-aged man with his child-bride.
evil might be a little strong if we’re talking fraud
and aren’t we talking about only a 7 year age-gap, so again who gives a shit if he’s not pretty?
Omg, it had nothing to do with appearance dumbass.
i know it’s not, i’m refering to the people who assume he must be at fault purely because he’s not pretty, and there’s lots of them
If he just said or did one strange thing, it would be different, but this guy hops from one odd reaction to another. Find your wife unresponsive? Throw her in the shower. She dies? No, no, I don’t want to know why — no autopsy. Let’s book an interview tomorrow. I’m not saying he had anything to do with it, but there is more going on here than the man would like us to believe. Just a normal day? It sure didn’t sound anything like the normal I know.
He didn’t “throw her in the shower.” Her mother checked on her after she was sick in the bathroom for a while and her MOTHER found her lying in the shower amidst vomit because that was where she ended up. Vomiting is bad enough; I’m sure if she was also experiencing cardiac arrest she did not realize WHERE she was at, only struggling for some kind of relief. Do you know this man? Did you know Brittany Murphy? Maybe you could call up her mother and get the facts since you are so well aware of what her husband would and would not “like us to believe.”
A lot of people do not want autopsies on their loved ones. Perhaps you should volunteer to watch one sometime and you will have more empathy for those who are left behind suddenly and unexpectedly.
