Brittany Murphy’s widower Simon Monjack is blaming Warner Brothers for the death of his late wife Brittany Murphy.
The actress died Dec. 20 in her home.
Monjack said Warner Brothers fired Murphy from the sequel to the animated film “Happy Feet.” The firing happened two weeks before she died.
In an interview with the Daily Beast, Monjack said “She was devasted. They killed her. It’s a cruel town. You’re disposable as an actress or actor.”
Monjack says he plans to file a lawsuit against the movie studio for indirectly contributing to her death.
Murphy was too young to die. She was only 32 years old, so it’s understandable why Monjack wants to point the finger at someone. It’s part of the grieving process.
But Warner Brothers is not responsible for Murphy’s death. People get fired or laid off on a regular basis, especially with our current economy.
The Los Angeles coroner’s office has not yet released the cause of death. Unless the certificate says “death caused by Warner Brothers,” I don’t think the movie studio should be held responsible.

People are always trying to place the blame elsewhere – just be accountable for yourself and take responsibility for your actions or lack thereof!
It’s really frustrating to read this …. EVERYONE is disposable as an employee. Not just actors and actresses. We all are devastated when we lose a job, and we all feel disposable. I learned a long time ago that everyone is replaceable in the workforce. To kid yourself otherwise is just silly.
It truly is rare to locate a professional in whom you can have some trust. In the world at present, nobody genuinely cares about showing others the way out in this matter. How fortunate I am to have found a really wonderful web site as this. It is really people like you exactly who make a genuine difference currently through the thoughts they write about.
