The National Enquirer claims that Brittany Murphy died virtually broke  and that has left her husband and mother in a bitter fight over her estate.

According to the report, Brittany owed more money than her Beverly Hills home is worth. The 8,000 square foot mansion is now occupied by her mother, Sharon, and her husband of 2 1/2 years, Simon Monjack.

“But a war has exploded over the estate, and there’s a lot of tension between them. Brittany died practically penniless. And now her husband wants to sell her possessions quickly, while her mother is shell-shocked over the death…Poor Sharon can barely function, let alone think about selling the house or getting Brittany’s finances in order… But Simon is already pushing to sell Brittany’s possessions, including jewelry, clothes and the house.

“Sharon is appalled by his insensitivity.”

I don’t think this news is a surprise to anyone. In fact, I’m shocked there hasn’t been more drama and that more skeletons haven’t jumped out a closet since she passed.
