The Hollywood Gossip's readers were quick to rush to the defense of Mandy Moore's new boyfriend, Greg Laswell. Another spoke out to quash rumors of Kevin Federline going wild in Las Vegas.
Simon Monjack is not so fortunate.
Since announcing the screenwriter's surprise marriage to Brittany Murphy, we've been inundated with comments bashing this mysterious gentleman (and we use that term loosely).
Some angry celebrity gossip readers have levied pretty serious allegations against him. And not the standard (Tameka Foster-esque) "he's not good enough for her" variety.
One of the rumors floating around the Internet: Simon Monjack is a manipulative con artist. Yeah. Some think this guy is as slimy as Spencer Pratt... and a crook to boot.
Who is this Simon Monjack character? Some of our fans seem to think they know ... and maybe wish they didn't. Here's a sampling of the comments we've received.

Simon was married before has a daughter who lives in the UK with her mother.
SIMON (no relation) writes:
Simon is a con artist. He conned his last girlfriend out of her car and money. Left her with awful credit. Frequently uses different SS #'s. He left his other girlfriend in London with a $20,000 credit card bill she was unaware of until he was long gone. He is a master at lying. Brittany BEWARE!!!

Simon Monjack has been married before and has taken women for every penny they had. He is a con man and bought his last finacee a fake diamond ring! He is bad news. Good luck Britney [sic].

CHARLES writes:
Simon Monjack is a tremendous con artist, sociopath and thief. It is amazing that he is still on the loose and not in jail! He has conned women into giving him money, changed his phone number all the time (pretending he was important), he somehow lost his family's money on the truly horrific film "Two Days Nine Lives" and has been scrambling to catch a wealthy or at least connected women to open doors for him.
KATE writes:
The world is an unfortunate place because Simon Monjack is in it. He stalks J DATE (Jewish online dating service) for unsuspecting women and fools them with his charismatic personality, British accent, and pseudo wealth, in order to live off of their money. Simon's evil knows no bounds.
K writes:
Simon Monjack, still pulling a fast one. Now he has the money he has always desired. Brittany's. Didn't her people check him out? Poor thing, she is the next victim and he is smiling his usual manipulative smile. I hope she has very good attorneys. She will need them. Tragic.
Yikes. If this stuff is true, it's terrifying. We hope Grey's Anatomy / Private Practice star Kate Walsh did better recon on her new mystery fiance.

That's scary.

Sadly, it is all true and there is much more to be said about this disgusting , cruel and very sick man. Is there any way to set up a safe web-site for all that have had dealings with him to communicate all that he has done in order to warn the world? (hopefully not too late for poor Brittany). She needs to get rid of him ASAP.
I have never in my life witnessed such a manipulative con man. He has no shame and does not care whom he hurts in order to get his way. He has no talents and even his "play acting" is beginning to crack...how he got Brittany is easy...she must have been weak, he played the "strong British 007 type", he kept her far away from everyone (hence the "secret relationship). Simple - he was afraid of being found out, someone would have warned Brittany! Did he tell her all his money is tied up in Switzerland, or that his inheritance is coming (some of us have heard it all!).
If anyone has any suggestions of how to create a web-site exclusively to stop this idiot, please share with us. Monjack is dangerous and must be stopped!

Simon is a good for nothing slob that uses people to get by. Our life has been better without him. My little sister doesnt know to much about him and thats probably the best way for it to be.
May 19th, 2007 1:39 PM
What a liar! He told everyone that he financially supported his ex-wife's children and his daughter and that they all loved him. Totally dillusional! This creep will not get far. Let's hope Brittany figures it out asap and gets rid of him for good.
This will be his one-and-only claim to fame. He is a miserable director and has no talent whatsoever. Here the bbc review of his only film:

I'm concerned that so many people are trashing this man but have no proof.
I am the kind of person that doesn't believe what I'm told --- I look into it to find the facts...
hopefully other readers are doing the same.
This is a persons LIFE that we're talking about. What is your purpose in trashing it? And Please ---- give us some proof!
or shut up!!!

Monjack's Ex-wife and ex-step kid have posted actual comments on other sites on the 'man' that disrupted their lives. They know how wicked he really is. His own daughter barely knows him.

MURPHY'S MAN FACES DEPORTATION
BRITTANY MURPHY
Actress BRITTANY MURPHY's new British husband faces deportation after outstaying his work visa, according to U.S. reports. The JUST MARRIED star stunned Hollywood when she wed producer SIMON MONJACK earlier this month (May07) and now U.S. tabloid the National Enquirer has exposed the Brit as an illegal visitor. And to make matters even worse, the publication has dug up information suggesting Monjack has a civil judgment against him and a series of felony arrest warrants. A spokeswoman at U.S. Immigration + Customs Enforcement has confirmed to the Enquirer that the Brit faces a court hearing about his future in America in July (07), and could be kicked out of the country. She says, "He's accused of overstaying his visa and could be deported." The I.C.E. spokeswoman also tells the tabloid that Monjack, who was among the producers of Sienna Miller's Factory Girl film, recently spent nine days in jail after he was arrested at Murphy's home in March (07). "
WHAT A LOAD OF SH!TE. MY *PREDICTION IS*... Britt WILL LEAVE THE U.S. AND "GO (TO THE UK) WITH" *that WHORE-MONGERING MAN-SKANK/MOB-FIA/KRETIN twOt* - *THAT* WAS Her FOCKING PLAN ALL ALONG... SINGE She CAN'T GET ANY *roles* HERE IN THE U.S. ANYMORE... BEING Her "career" IS FOCKING 'DEAD'.
…*(insert "banging-head" smiley here)*…
She's NOT ONLY PATHETIC... She's FOCKING *PREDICTABLE*.

Hurrah! The truth is finally out (did not take too long).
Am thrilled for Monjack's Ex Wife (and for all the women he has abused in the past). He needs to stay in jail.

Vows For Visa?
DID Brittany Murphy marry Simon Monjack to keep him from being deported? The National Enquirer reports Monjack was arrested on expired visa charges in the middle of the night on March 27 - just over a month before the couple's rushed marriage. The tabloid also hits the actress' tubby hubby with allegations of bad debts and sleazy business schemes, which sources told Page Six the "Clueless" cutie knew nothing about. Monjack's lawyer told us the charges are being made by "disgruntled ex-girlfriends" and that immigration lawyers concluded the marriage had no bearing on his visa status. Murphy's rep had no comment.
