Clueless Star Slams Brittany Murphys Toxic Husband

'And then Britt and I did King of the Hill together for eight years. And then I took over for a role she did - not when she passed away, before that, like the character's voice changed and I took over, but she was still Luanne on King of the Hill.' 

Murphy collapsed in her bathroom at her home on December 20, 2009 after dealing with flu-like symptoms a number of days.

She was with her mother Sharon and cried out 'Mommy I can't catch my breath, help me' and passed out in her arms and her husband Monjack's, per The Hollywood Reporter.

The coroner said her cause of death was pneumonia, combined with anemia and from 'multiple drug intoxication' that were both prescription and over the counter - including cold medicine and painkillers.

Monjack died five months later at the same home - of the same cause of death - pneumonia combined with anemia, leading to questions on how they both died of the same thing five months apart.

In 2021, a documentary from HBO Max films examined Murphy's death in a documentary called What .

Her death and her husband's death five months later has puzzled the world since her passing, with some theories including mold in their home as well as Monjack's controlling nature over her. 

Murphy and Monjack married in May 2007, and lived in her home in the Hollywood Hills, previously owned by Britney Spears.

Murphy had purchased it in 2003 for $3.9 million.

The mold theory however was dismissed in 2010 by the medical examiner's office. 

In 2013, Murphy's father Angelo Bertolotti requested a new toxicology report, in which he had suggested that she may have been poisoned.

He went on Good Morning America in November 2013 and said that 'there was definitely a murder situation here,' and added that 'it's poison,' via THR.

Her mother Sharon had disputed the claim. 

The filmmakers spoke to the coroner about her cause of death, who questioned how she became so anemic, per Rolling Stone.

'To develop an anemia of this nature, she was not eating. How did all of this develop?' the coroner had told them.

Monjack allegedly told Murphy to lose more weight and get plastic surgery during their marriage, per Rolling Stone.

He reportedly also refused to take Murphy to the hospital in her final days, which may have saved her life. 

Monjack had two secret children, which Murphy did not know about while she was alive, and he reportedly lied about his own health and said he had cancer and was cured of it from using shark cartilage, the documentary claimed.

He reportedly spent $3 million of Murphy's money in three years, and served as Murphy's agent, business manager and makeup artist. 

One month after her death, Monjack told The Hollywood Reporter that Murphy had a sense that there was something off with the home, and tried to avoid going there at all costs. 

Murphy had thought the home was unlucky, Monjack had said in January 2010 (four months before his death), per THR. 

They had been planning to move to New York in 2010 to start a new life there and have children together.

Assistant LA Coroner Ed Winter said after her death: 'She had been sick at least two weeks. Had they taken her to a doctor or hospital, it would have been treatable,' per THR.
