Bio
Also known as Con-jack, Simon Monjack is a British screenwriter and the husband of Brittany Murphy.
This fool is one screwed up guy from what we've heard ... and we've heard a lot about Simon Monjack.
Rumors and accounts from our readers suggest he is a "tremendous" con artist and possible criminal.
Regardless, Simon Monjack and Brittany Murphy seem happy for some reason. Hey, they lasted several years, which is like an eternity in Hollywood.
In fact, he and Brittany kept relatively quiet since news of their surprise marriage hit the celebrity news back in '07. They seem to be making it work.
Still, Simon Monjack, we've got our eye on you. Do not mess with our girl, man. You got that?
** Update: Murphy passed away in December of 2009. No matter how shady Simon may be, we'd never wish this sort of tragedy on anyone. Hang in there, man.

The Brittany Murphy Foundation started by her shady husband is giving back the money it has received to date.

Simon has no money, how would he buy BM $3 million worth of clothes and put $1 million into a "foundation". He has never worked, and never earned any money. He lost everyone's money on a disaster film years ago "Two Days Nine Lives" which never even made it to DVD (it was atrocious). The talent was never paid.
He has scammed money off of so many people in different countries it is amazing he has gotten away with it. Too many people are scared/embarrassed to come forward as he is a bad person, lies and threatens and therefore people would rather just be rid of him. Best scam he had was raising money for his "cancer treatment". He got many wealthy people to fund treatment to pay his Los Angels Hotel bills until he could find the next victim.
There will be justice and he will not get far. Look at the nonsense he is already babbling.
Someone should advice Sharon Murphy to kick him out of her life asap. He is trying to get the money!
If he is sent back to England, there are plenty of people waiting for their money. Does it make sense that he has been "hiding" in the US and needed a Visa? He does not even come back here.
Let's hope they take his Green Card away so he can finally face the music.

Simon Monjack Launches Brittany Murphy Foundation
February 2nd, 2010 2:02 PM by Free Britney Tags: Brittany Murphy, Simon Monjack
For a mere $1,000, you can attend an event honoring the late Brittany Murphy and line Simon Monjack's pockets support the Brittany Murphy Foundation.
Forgive us for being skeptical, but when the late star's husband launched the foundation last Thursday, we couldn't help but wonder what he's really up to.
Something about that dude is just shady.
Yes, the Brittany Murphy Foundation is dedicated to arts education for kids. Yes, Monjack says he started the non-profit with $1 million of his own money.
But would it surprise you if as head of the foundation, Simon Monjack paid himself a nice six-figure salary for his time? All tax-free of course? Just asking.
That's just us being skeptical. We have no proof that's true. But an Us source says "Everyone thinks it's very tacky that he's making it so much about money."
Monjack is requesting donations of $1,000 per person and $10,000 per corporation to attend the event, taking place at the Saban Theatre in Beverly Hills.
For once, Monjack has yet to comment. He has been a talk show and magazine staple since his wife's death in an effort to clear her name (and his own).
Murphy was found dead December 20 at the age of 32. The results of the toxicology report to determine the star's cause of her death are still pending.

I listened to Simon on the Larry King Show. Before that you tend to believe the tabloids and make judgements on a man you have never met and who does not look like Robert Redford.
Well, I found him and Brittany Murphy's mother to be a sincere interview. I truly think that Brittany and Simon just lived their own life their way. Who are we to tell someone how to live?
Yes, she was VERY thin, but then, hollywood dictates this. She was not a born beauty but she had her own special physical traits that one simply had to attach to. She was funny and I think if you look at all her films there was a big part of the real her in every film.
Ashton Kutcher was brave enough to say the world lost a bit of sunshine. You know, I think that says it all. He went with her, he knew her well. And after her death he had nothing but kind things to say about her. I think Ashton has proven he is a reliable man who at his young age has taken on a family that he would have had to have at age 8 and he loves them and gives of himself to them. I, myself , am going to trust this man's opinion and my judgement of Simon as I truly saw him on Larry King, If that was acting he should receive an Academy Award. I believe he had nothing to do with her death. Yes, perhaps he should have gotten her to a doctor more, but you know, my husband tries to get me to go more too, and I refuse. Who can say how two people lived together unless we were there. God Bless you Simon.

Its the same thing that happened to Anna Nicole Smith. When are these poor ladies gonna realize that these jews marry them for their money then drug them to death! And to those of you out there who love to scream "anti-semite!", you should realize that your reputation is well earned. A study into anti-semitism would be of best use to those jews who do not understand the irritations they cause.

Brittany Murphy was very a very talented role model for my age group and my children , my family just adored her. She was vey pretty and very funny to us.when i heard the news i cried it was so sad and shocking.I still can't believe it.I dont care what people said about her. she will be in my heart forever and ever.I am glad she left something her movies for every one to see.

well for starters why if he loved her so much would he let her stay home with shortness of breathe and abdominal pain for up to 10 days without going to a hospital? sounds pretty cold. especially since she has had health problems in the past. who does that? He should have taken some initiative in getting her some help.
