Brittany began her acting career as a child, debuting in the musical "Les Misérables" at the age of nine. Her acting skills attracted attention, especially after her role in "Girl, Interrupted" alongside well-known stars like Angelina Jolie. Her sudden death in 2009 made headlines worldwide, and the reason for this tragedy remains a topic of speculation.
She contracted pneumonia. Reportedly sought help too late
Her mother raised Brittany Murphy after her father left the family shortly after her birth. Sharon Murphy played a significant role in Brittany's career development, sending her to auditions for commercials and TV shows. At 18, Brittany starred in "Clueless" in 1995. This role became a breakthrough for her. Then came her part in "Girl, Interrupted," where Murphy performed alongside Angelina Jolie. Her career gained momentum. Meanwhile, the media speculated that the star had drug problems, which she denied.
The star suddenly passed away on December 20, 2009. Officially, it's stated that she died due to complications from pneumonia, which were exacerbated by severe anemia and the use of painkillers. All of this created a lethal combination. It raises the question, why did the young actress not seek medical help in time?
Toxic relationship?
One of the issues discussed in the HBO documentary is Brittany's relationship with her husband, Simon Monjack, who influenced the actress's life and decisions. Witnesses claim that he downplayed her health problems and forbade medical consultations, which led to the worsening of her health issues. After her death, Monjack established close relationships with Brittany's mother, which raises many questions. Additionally, there are allegations that Monjack hid the fact that he had two children. All these threads raise suspicions about his role in the tragic events.
Simon's strange behaviours were the subject of much speculation. There were situations in which he allegedly controlled Brittany's every move, including taking over her email, phone, and finances, thus isolating her from people who could have helped her.
