Who is Simon Monjack?
Gawker ^ | 12.20.09 | Foster Kamer

Posted on 12/20/2009 5:34:07 PM PST by libh8er

The guy's had a past, and a substantial one at that:

Among his troubles: two warrants for his arrest in Virginia for alleged credit-card theft and fraud; an unpaid $6,087 legal bill, and a $502,910 judgment against him by a British investment firm. And Us Weekly reports in its new issue that Monjack gave his former fiancée, British film producer Taira Rafiq, an engagement ring he had told her was a diamond but was, in fact, cubic zirconia. "Taira tried to get in touch with Brittany to warn her," a Rafiq pal tells Us.

Where there's smoke, there's fire. Murphy was reportedly diabetic, and that may or may not have had something to do with the circumstances surrounding her death. But Monjack's about to enter a world of unprecedented scrutiny. The Big Yellow Taxi law couldn't be applied more, here: fans of film didn't know what they had until it was gone. Monjack can mourn, and be presumed innocent of any wrongdoing in regards to influencing Murphy's life. In all fairness, he can even be assumed to be something that made Murphy very, very happy.

But he's going to have to answer for quotes like the autopsy one, and the incident at LAX coming from Puerto Rico last month in the upcoming days. Let's hope he has the right ones, for everyone's sake. Because from the sound of it...

On whether she wants kids: "I hope to have a few. I've always loved kids and babies and always wanted to be a mom. Hopefully soon."

...Brittany Murphy had no plans of leaving this world any time soon. People are going to want to know why it happened.

Never heard of Monjack before today, but he’s certainly getting trashed around the web for his past ..... who knows, it’s gossip right now, but he’s going to receive a level of scrutiny now that he’s never had before. It could get “interesting”.....

Have to really wonder about trying to avoid an autopsy — under these circumstances one has to ask about possible drug use and was he involved etc.

Yes, his position on “no autopsy” is certainly suspicious, IMO, since his poor wife was on 32 years old!

His reputation has been talked about since the day she married him. Obviously, she didn’t care. That’s what makes a con man so good...CONFIDENCE man. They’re charming. We see a fat pig..she saw her knight in shining armor. Whatever the truth is, we’ll find it out.

A Tiffany Murphy is reported—on this very page—to have died. Same Tiffany?
