Here's Who Inherited Brittany Murphy's Money After She Died

Perhaps the most intriguing details of the 2021 Brittany Murphy documentary had to do with just how much of a weirdo Simon Monjack was. He was a serial liar, and of the worst kind, as well. There must a special ring in Hell for people who lie about having cancer, and if so, Monjack (pictured above with Sharon Murphy) is most certainly boiling in a coffin full of his own blood there right now (he mysteriously died of similar causes — notably not cancer — just six months after his wife's death). But as Rolling Stone has pointed out, that's merely the tip of Monjack's iceberg of creepiness.

After her daughter's death, Sharon Murphy had a very strange relationship with Monjack. They reportedly slept in the same bed together and were photographed holding hands and looking into each other's eyes in a way we don't normally associate with sons- and mothers-in-law. But Sharon didn't know the truth about Simon until after his mysterious death, when she tried to pawn some of the jewelry he had given to Brittany during their marriage. Jewelers found the pieces to be total fakes, worth diddly squat. Sharon discovered that Monjack had pilfered Brittany's bank accounts to the tune of $3 million in the three years of their marriage. He just mooched off of her while controlling every aspect of her life, and ultimately created the toxic conditions that led to her death.
