Conflicting reports have come out on the relationship between Brittany Murphy‘s mother Sharon and the late actress’ widower, screenwriter Simon Monjack. According to the Enquirer, the pair both live in Murphy’s enormous LA home, but “a war has exploded over the estate.” “There’s a lot of tension between them,” says their source. “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.”
Giving a distinctly different impression to People is Monjack’s mother, Linda. “He’s very strong, and he’s got Sharon. They’re very close, and they’re keeping each other going.” “Sharon,” who along with Monjack tried to revive Murphy after her heart attack last month, “witnessed [their] love,” said Linda. “She was so happy her daughter had found someone.” With allegations of Monjack being a “con artist” continuing to swarm, someone less biased than his mother may be needed to skirt any rumors.
