Brittany Murphy husband blames studio

Brittany Murphy’s grieving husband says he’s suing Warner Bros. over her death, claiming: “They killed her.” Simon Monjack alleges that Murphy died from stress just two weeks after the studio fired her from the “Happy Feet” sequel. Monjack told The Daily Beast’s Gerald Posner, “She was devastated . . . You’re disposable as an actress or actor.” While the cause of Murphy’s death has still not been confirmed, Monjack insists it was not due to drugs. He also described the moment she was found unconscious in the bathroom of his Hollywood Hills house in December. “I came running in,” he told Posner. “I immediately started doing CPR. I felt a tiny heartbeat. I was pushing with the heel of my hand. And every second I pushed, I felt my hand become stronger and her heart weaker. And then it stopped. And I kept pushing. She died in my arms. I knew she was dead.” Warner Bros. did not immediately respond.
