Simon Monjack, the husband of the late Brittany Murphy has granted an interview to The Daily Beast. In it, he bristles at the suggestion he’s a litigious opportunist. He’s also suing Warner Brothers because his wife died.
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 L.A. 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 cancelling of a contract just two weeks before she died.
Later, in the same interview, Simon says that Brittany suffered from “mitral valve prolapse, a common heart condition in which the valve doesn’t close completely.” Come on, Simon, whose side are you on?! You’re making this too easy for the defense. This might be the first lawsuit where the opposing side’s council calls a blog post as an expert witness.
