VIDEO: Brittany Murphy's Husband: Hollywood Has "Blood On Its Hands"
Posted on Jan 21, 2010 @ 06:57AM
Hollywood power brokers "have blood on their hands," Brittany Murphy's widower, Simon Monjack told The Today Show Thursday, saying a pulled offer to the actress to star in Happy Feet 2 -- based on rumors surrounding the late starlet’s drug abuse -- broke her heart, ultimately leading to her untimely death.
"I hope they wash them with very hot water because of the way they treated Brittany Murphy while she was alive," Monjack told Matt Lauer of the show business crowd he says made his late wife an outsider in Tinseltown.

Monjack, along with Murphy's mother, Sharon Murphy, talked about 8 Mile star's final weeks just more than a month after the actress was found in her Los Angeles home on December 20.
"Let's set the record straight once and for all," Monjack said. "Brittany was not taking any medication for her mood, for anorexia, -- it's utterly ridiculous that these rumors have perpetuated."
Murphy's mother, Sharon Murphy, said the whole family had been overtaken by winter-related sickness, though Monjack said the late actress was the healthiest of the bunch. Monjack said many of the medications found at the couple’s home were his.

While the toxicology reports of the 32-year-old’s death have yet to be made public, a report taken as the death scene indicated that "no alcohol containers, paraphernalia or illegal drugs were discovered," but ten different medications were found present at the scene, including Klonopin, Carbamazepine, Ativan, Vicoprofen, Hydrocodone, Topamax, Propranolol, Biaxin, Methylprednisolone, Fluoxetine and miscellaneous vitamins.

@Amagod121 - Klonopin is actually only used to treat the anxiety portion that comes along with bipolar, and also people with alpha intrusion in their sleep and also restless leg syndrome.

Some of those drugs are very heavy duty. Klonopin is used by bipolar people. Why would they have it around?

Brittany forgot that Hollywood is a place for movie making, it is not who you are and is not real life. It is just an industry creating illusions on film for the purpose of entertaiment ,

HAVE YOU NOTICED EVERY TIME THE MOTHER GOES TO SAY WHAT SHE THINKS CAUSED THE DEATH THAT SHE LOOKS AT SIMON. AND SIMON DONATED A MILLION TO THIS FOUNDATION, DOESN'T HE MEAN BRITTANY'S MONEY

This guy was not good enough for her, period

It's freaky scary that the very thing she feared the most -- death and heart failure -- was the very thing that came true. Did she know something subconsciously?

Those two are very close, but I suppose living in the same house does that. You can hear the mom call him (Monjack) "honey" and "sweetie" in the 911 call.

There is something really fishy about these two. I think the police need to take a closer look at this whole situation. Something is wrong with this picture cant put my finger on it but something isnt right.

I know. Something about the mother's reactions seem off. And Monjack might or might not be hiding stuff. Such as why they had meds for antidepression and bipolar disorder around if no one had these issues.

REALLY??? Do these Hollywood idiots really think people are going to buy the crap they say? And yet they keep on trying...those drugs were mine, not hers. Our whole family was sick...right. It's getting old!
