Expressing his love for Brittany's family and disgust at the rumors that his wife had used illegal drugs, Simon left no doubt about his ongoing love for Brittany and thanked everyone who supported him through this difficult time. It was a highly emotional day for Simon, who said he and Brittany's mother both cried.
The autopsy report showed that Brittany did not have illegal drugs in her system and had pneumonia at the time of her passing.
Simon told RadarOnline.com:
"Although Brittany's autopsy report was incredibly shocking and sad to the family, to me, Sharon and I both shed tears. We are vindicated in that we always said Brittany never did any kind of illegal substances and that the medication she was taking was the medication found in her system and we hope now that people will understand the legacy of Brittany Murphy and the incredible body of work of Brittany Murphy.
"As the most maligned man in America, I hope people realize that they shouldn't believe anything they hear and read and I love my wife as much today as I did on the day I married her.

"I am so sad that we are living in a culture of rumor and I just wish that people would understand that sometimes out of every tragedy can come some good. I know Brittany would want to feel the vindication. She never took a drug or a drink and that's been shown. I love her family; the rumors can stop as we grieve our dead loved one and we can get on to grieve.
"I personally thank the thousands of people who have emailed me with condolences; people I've never met, people who have never met me, the people who don't jump to rush decisions. I hope people realize what an incredible mother and friend Sharon is. The rest of the family are so, so devastated but at least the truth was outted, as it always does, and the truth is, unfortunately, Brittany died of pneumonia and the drug intoxication turned out to be Vicks inhaler combined with the menstrual cramp medication that we never denied she took.

"I think it's time for everybody to realize that Brittany was just an incredibly happy, precious angel that lives on through her fans and in our hearts."

Before we absolve Simon, lets look at how he handled Brits passing from the get go. He was blaming Hollywood? As a hubby, isn he her protector and confidante? The drugs destroyed her immune system and led to her demise. RIP

When I looked into his eyes in the Larry King interview, along with his mother in law; He looked so deceitful and conniving! He was very manipulative of the conversation!

These are the drugs that were found: prevacid, clonazepam, propranolol, vicoprofen, zolpidem, carbamazepine, klonopin, Ativan, hydorocodone. Twenty four bottles for pneumonia & cramps?

Don't believe a word he says. She was a drug addict.

This is sad. This girl had so much talent and to die at such a young age with all those drugs is pitiful

although i dont trust him completely and i think i read somewhere that there are arrest reports for him in the past on fraud, i think pple demonize him even more b/c he is so unattractive and question how could brittany have loved him so?

you just summed up my thoughts about him very well. I don't demonize him but I don't understand why Brittany would marry someone like him. He is overweight and falls somewhere between plain and ugly.

Everyone that thinks Simon is a nice sane guy take a big wiff of strong coffee. The guy blamed Warner Bros for her death...LOL. Also scammed her foundation and hasn't had a memorial.

when you're in pain your first reaction is to blame. He returned all the foundation money as he opened it before knowing how. They already had a funeral.
