Brittany Murphy Marries Scruffy Screenwriter Simon Monjack?

Us Weekly is reporting that cutiepants Brittany Murphy has recently married scruffy screenwriter Simon Monjack. What the hell? How did that one slip by so easily, I wonder?

29-year-old Murphy was seen partying with Monjack at the Kentucky Derby Saturday, where they were both sporting wedding rings.

An insider reveals, “[Murphy and Montjack] were drinking Crown Royal, and [they] didn’t want photographers to take pictures of their rings because they were waiting to make a formal announcement on Monday.”

The insider goes on to say that, “They were dancing in the V.I.P. section and around DJ Reach’s booth. They looked very excited, happy and jovial.”

This is the very first marriage for Britt, who was engaged not just eight months ago to another fella & also dated Ashton Kutcher.

Murphy’s rep did not comment, no big surprise there.

Wow, Britt married. Who knew? And to this rather scruffy looking screenwriter? What gives with that?

Poor Brittney. She seems like a lost little girl who needs a man to define her and take care of her. She is always falling for guys she works with. How old is she 29 and has been engaged twice before, I don’t give it 6 months.

I do feel very bad for Brittany. This guy is a full con-artist. He conned his girlfriend in London out of $20,000. He convinced a casting director to buy him a car in her name promising to pay the bill and of course never did. He works under different social security numbers. He’s been married before, has a daughter in London. He tells people his millionaire business partner has just died and all his money is frozen. He is a complete sociopath. He gave his last girlfriend a fake engagement ring! Claimed it was 8 carats and he had special ordered from Switzerland. His lies are intricate and run deep. Get out while you still can Brittany!

Thank you John for revealing the true nature of the beast – pity the poor girl didn’t just phone me first for a referral. I wish her well and a speedy escape, successful career and early escape or at least a quick annulment!

By the way we are not in London, but not far off.

Simon Monjack is a con artist! He has been married before. He has a daughter in London. He uses different social security numbers. He conned his last girlfriend out of a car and her savings account. He conned the girlfriend before that out of $20,000 by stealing a credit card. He gave his last girlfriend a fake engagement ring. He ruined her credit. He convinced a casting director to buy him a car in her name and promised to pay the bill- never did. He also never paid her for her work and skipped town. He pretends he’s a millionaire and his business partner died and so his money has been frozen for the time being. Oh, and he wears his pants (that I’m sure Brittany bought him) way to tight. Like a stuffed sausage! OPEN YOUR EYES BRITTANY- see him for who he is!

Simon Monjack is has been married before and owes his ex plus many girlfriends serious amounts of money. He is a con man. Bought fake diamond rings for women in the past and wiped them out financially. Oh, Britney, you married him with your eyes closed. Good luck. Hope you have a pre-nup!

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.
He has been married before. He tried to attach himself to Alexandra Kerry at the Cannes Film Festival a few years ago (luckily the Secret Service must have checked him out asap). He was labled a “slick talking promoter with a dubious background”. He keeps claiming he has family money, a wealthy partner’s money, etc…but in reality he has nothing.

If anyone knows Brittany’s Management, they should send advice: have background check done on Monjack…his past is so ugly it is not even funny…he was also bankrupt in the UK…it goes on and on.

Simon’s Ex wife and children could contact News Of the World (The Sun, etc) and at least have a jab and get a bit of $$ out of this whilst doing the world a huge favour! They could also appeal to the many women out there willing to speak of how Monjack conned them into giving them (all) of their money. This now has the makings of a great script based on a true story!!

Good idea. In the meantime, this psychotic sociopath is living in Brittany’s house with access to her funds and connections. He can ruin her life. Hopefully it will not take years for the truth to come to light.

I am one of Brittany’s best friends. I’ve known her for years, and have spent plenty of time with her and Simon. I KNOW FOR A FACT that all of these rumors about him are completely unfounded!!!!

For one, Brittany’s security team DID do a very thorough background check on him when the two began to date (which she was not aware of at the time) and there was NOT ONE THING that came up about Simon that cause anyone concern. I HAVE SEEN THE OFFICIAL DOCUMENTATION MYSELF!!!
It showed no record of any past marriages, or any sort of financial trouble (in fact – quite the opposite). Simon is still friends with several of his ex girlfriends which wouldn’t be possible if he was such a lying, cheating, con-artist would it?

Obviously someone is trying to sabotage his reputation by posing as an “ex-wife” and “ex-stepdaughter”. It makes me absolutely sick.

Simon is one of the sweetest, most generous people I know. He has never taken any money from Brittany but actually spoils that girl rotten with gifts and flowers almost daily (paid for with his own money). He treats her like a princess and they are very much in love. She’s very lucky to have found, what I believe is truly, her soul mate. I have never seen that girl so happy.

If this was truly a friend they would have sought the truth and warned her to steer clear. An obvious one of Sly mon’s little games to try yet another dirty trick. He MUST be getting desparate for any last ditch attempt at salvaging a sure thing with a bank account attached (for his use). Nobody who knows him, past or present needs to make anything up. His truth is far stranger and more deceitful than any decent human being could imagine.

I know Simon Monjack personally and it completely breaks my heart to see all of this dirty gossip being spread around about him. I was (notice I said “was”) best friends with a girlfriend he had several years ago. The reason I am no longer friends with her is because she asked me to help spread nasty false stories about him on the internet. I liked Simon when they were dating and was sad when he broke up with her because I believed he was the best thing that ever happened to her. It seems she is somewhat bitter and jealous and she is showing her true colors with these cruel rumors. I have a conscience that I cannot ignore and feel that it is the least I can do to tell the truth in hopes to save his reputation.
Simon is a very good, honest person. The person spreading these rumors (and, by the way, they are all coming from the same ruthless person who is claiming to be his ex wife, and ex step daughter) is not by any means a good, honest person.
Don’t believe everything you hear, people. I don’t know Brittany personally, but I do know that she found herself a gem of a man, and I am very happy for them both.

Amen, these must be very new “best friends” indeed. Keep a close eye on those funds and credit cards. The truth is the only thing that matters so seek it out. Sounds like desperate measures. Perhaps there should be a global questioning of women who have been conned by Monjack to step forward? I think you will change your mind.

I am the best friend of Simons daughter. We have been best friends since we were 5. I know that Simon is a good dad because my freind tells me that he is. He loves her very much and calls her al most every day. Sometimes when he takes her on vacations or to do fun things he takes me too, and he is very nice. And I asked her mom and she told me that her and Simon werent ever married so I think you guys are lying. I think that you shouldn’t say mean things about him because it’s not true and he doesnt have ex step kids either so that is a lie too. Dont make things up about other people because what if someone did it to you. You would be angry.
Dark Angel

May 22nd, 2007 at 2:32 pm

EMMA GET REAL! Which daughter are you friends with? He has no contact with anyone who cannot help him financially and his ex-wife has all the proof and ex-step children as witnesses.

If you have an honest bone in your body you will leave this young girl’s name out of your nonsense and not speak of things you obviously have no knowledge of.

Angel 2 has truth on her side and it will all be revealed soon to anyone who has been fooled in the past. The only one who is a monster is the slyman himself and everyone he has used in the past has good reason to be bitter, but they all seem to rise above it.

Simon Monjack has NO talent and has been waiting to con the “big fish” for years…now he has Brittany. Hope she checks him out well. Why she could even consider doing a feature film with him and risking her career and reputation is beyond all reason.

Here is his ONLY work as a feature director, he BBC simply stated “what a mess”. Don’t be clueless girl! What has he been doing for the past 15 or so years? He’s a total failure and knows it.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/films/2001/03/22/two_days_nine_lives_2001_review.shtml

Monjack needed to con an actress and marry her…there is no way he was going to attach any talent to a project based on his own merits and track record. Spooky that he managed it, and hope he has not already blackmailed Brittany and/or threatened her family.

He tried with Alexandra Kerry a few years back in Cannes, but the Secret Service caught on and got rid of him quickly and efficiently, and she denied ever knowing him although he tried to convince the world of the contrary.

http://www1.excite.com/home/entertainment/celeb/page_six_article/0,13907,06_24_2004_9_-3,00.html

” PRESIDENTIAL hopeful John Kerry’s kids are downplaying rumors of potentially embarrassing romances. Daughter Alexandra Kerry, who’s about to go on the campaign trail for her dad, insists she’s not dating Brit producer Simon Monjack, a wheeler-dealer who was seen chatting her up at the Cannes Film Festival.”

There were numerous articles on this – Just goole it…A. Kerry had protection, Brittany obviously did not.

Save yourself Brittany and really assess the situation. You did not know this man at all when you married him.

Hurray – Monjack the con artist has been nabbed! What a happy day! This guy needs to be off the streets. Am thrilled for his ex-wife and children and all the women he has conned and those people whose lives he has ruined.

May 24, 2007 — 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.

Murphy’s man faces deportation
BY: WENN | Thursday, May 24, 2007
ADVERTISEMENT
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).

Looks like Simon’s chiming in again. Trying to stick up for himself because no one else will. -Prefer Not To State- That is such a name Simon would use. Oh. prefer not to state. hm hm I’m so intellegent and talented. LOL! Sorry. I had to state the obvious. And look at the comment, once again threatening people. Wow, will you ever stop? You, Simon, are truely a sociopath.
You know what commenters, I am a bit bitter. This guy came into my life, tried to ruin my friend, wasted MY time, threatened my friends life, stole money and flat out lied to my face over and over again. He shouldn’t be out there. So ya, you get mad when someone screws you over. If you would just open yourself up to the posibility that these things may be true, wouldn’t you find yourself a bit bitter too?

The past has caught up with Simon Monjack. As the press become aware of just how rotten and evil he is, his future as a Con Artist will be over. All it takes now is some proper research, digging and collaboration. All in the know to keep story alive so he cannot just get by once again.

I cannot even imagine how many bitter people there are out there. This guy is criminally insane.

If people really want to expose this con man, be assured that the National Enquirer will protect your identity if you insist on it. But if there are enough people who will go on record, Lowjack can’t sue everyone. How long will he be able to fight especially since he has NO DEFENSE?

As for anyone sticking up for Fuckjack/Hijack, purporting to be his friend… these posts are ALL written by HIM. HE HAS NO FRIENDS. HE HAS HURT, BURNED, DEVOURED, SCREWED, LAID WASTE EVERYONE HE’S EVER MET!!!

EVERYONE!! INCLUDING HIS OWN MOTHER.

He hopped in bed with Brittany while still engaged (with a fake diamond) to his fiancee. She was devastated. This is awful, but the least of his heinous sins. His business deals are all fraudulant… and we have personal knowledge of several producers and backers who lost millions. Line up and be counted. The sheer number of suits will take him down. Now that he’s married to deep pockets, his victims have a chance of getting their money back. Chip, chip away, and the Gross One will fall. All it takes to sue the bastard is a decent atty… and a few bucks. If he ripped you off, go for it!!!!!!!
