Brittany Murphy’s husband says Warner Brothers killed his wife, plans to sue
There has been much speculation about what killed Brittany Murphy.
Simon Monjack, the actress’ much-mocked hubby, says the killer’s name starts with Holly and ends with Wood.
In an interview with The Daily Beast, Monjack says he plans to file a wrongful death claim against Warner Brothers.
“They killed her,” he said.
Murphy’s husband and mother are convinced that she died of a heart attack brought on by stress caused by the studio’s actions.
Warner Brothers canceled Murphy’s contract just two weeks before her death.
Monjack said his wife was devastated when she was fired from the sequel to “Happy Feet.” A month before she was fired from the movie “The Caller.”
Reports had it that Monjack was a drunken fool on the film’s Puerto Rican set and that’s why Murphy was fired.
Monjack denies being drunk and foolish.
“Every story needs a villain, and everyone has decided it is me,” he said in The Daily Beast article.

So,.. um,.. if he wins, I’d say quite a few people in this economy can sue for the stress caused by them being laid off or fired.. What an idiot.

His meal ticket is gone so he needs to try and hit the sue-them-with-a-ridiculous-judgement lottery.

We watched a movie of hers just he other day. Didn’t look like her legs were any bigger around than her arms. That seemed odd to us. Perhaps that is the ‘style’ in “Hollow-wood”

If you don’t like your job- quit. If you can’t get a job- re-educate. If your spouse is worthless- divorse. If you feel the need to press this issue further- get a life. And if you can’t figure out how to get a life- your a waste society.

Dear Don’tBStupid, “divorse” should be “divorce” and “your” should be “you’re.” Take your own advice, DONT BE STUPID…moron
