Brittany Murphy’s Husband Suing Warner Bros Over Death
Simon Monjack, husband of the late Brittany Murphy, has decided that Warner Brothers are to be blamed for the death of his wife and is now planning a lawsuit against them within the next few days.
Even though the L.A. County Coroner have not released the official cause of death, Monjack is putting all the blame on Warner Bros saying that two weeks before her death the studio decided to fire her from the sequel to animated movie Happy Feet (she voiced the role of penguin Gloria in the original movie).
Monjack claims that she was beyond devastated and he and Murphy’s mother, Sharon, both believe that this caused the 32-year-old to take a heart attack. One month prior to Warner Bros deciding not to bring her back the actress was also let get from a movie called The Caller, which was shooting in Puerto Rico, because Monjack had been difficult on set and showing up drunk.
To this he says, “Every story needs a villain, and everyone has decided it is me, the reports about the Puerto Rican set are fantasy. I was never, ever drunk there. It’s a cruel town, Warner Brothers relied on conjecture and hearsay about the Puerto Rico film for why they canceled Brittany’s role in Happy Feet. You’re disposable as an actress or actor.â€
The original Happy Feet grossed over $380 million but Monjak says they were lowballing his late wife by offering her $10,000 a day, with five-day minimum and maybe some box office bonuses if the movie did well.
Warner Brothers have now issued a statement to TMZ, “Any claim that Warner Bros. Pictures was somehow responsible for Brittany Murphy’s tragic death is demonstrably false, reprehensible, and defamatory. Despite press reports to the contrary, Warner Bros. Pictures and Ms. Murphy never entered into any deal for “Happy Feet 2,” and thus, there was not a contract to cancel.”
I don’t think that Simon Monjack should be suing Warner Brothers over Brittan Murphy‘s death, what do you think? Does he stand a chance?
