As the world continues to ponder the death of Brittany Murphy, many are curious as to exactly who her husband Simon Monjack is. While there's still absolutely no evidence to suggest he played a part in her death, many people and media outlets both past and present are raising a suspicious eye towards the British screenwriter.
Monjack -- who penned and produced 2006's 'Factory Girl' -- wed Murphy in 2007 in a small, private ceremony at their house that seemed to come out of nowhere. The couple never announced their engagement, and hardly ever made public appearances together.
Their nuptials came amid a swirl of controversy. According to an Us Weekly report (which has since been taken off of their Web site), Monjack -- who is British -- was on the verge of being deported because he overstayed his visa. He split from his ex-wife just months before marrying Murphy.
He also had felony warrants out for his arrest, as well as a massive lawsuit from a British investment firm demanding he pay them more than $500,000. In Virginia, Monjack was wanted for credit card theft and fraud, Us reported.
Responding to the report, Monjack denied any wrongdoing, saying: "It is a real tragedy that success, greed, envy and celebrity are the motivation for attacking my family and character."
Monjack is also now being linked to Murphy's latest departure from the movie 'The Caller,' which Brittany was let go from just two weeks before her death. According to Showbiz411's Roger Friedman, it wasn't Murphy's behavior that pushed the actress out of the film set -- it was Monjack's.

I just learned something. Only handsome people are innocent. He has to be guilty since he is not good looking and the most damning thing of all is he is the husband.
Some of the best people I have known are considered to be ugly. Some of the worst people I have ever known were considered to be beautiful. Beauty is only skin deep.
