star Brittany Murphy has not only garnered a stalker of her own, but that he's the Hollywood insider kind: A source who used to work for the perky star says she talks darkly of "a high-powered Hollywood player" who is allegedly stalking her. And when her then-boyfriend, Simon Monjack, disappeared for 10 days in April, Murphy claimed he had been kidnapped by agents of this mysterious figure, says the source. "When he came back, he had head injuries," says the former insider.
"He was pale and sometimes had trouble standing." Not only that, but the former staffer also claims Murphy said she was unable to pay him because the money had been used for ransom. However, the alleged kidnapping seems to exactly coincide with the dates reported by The National Enquirer that Monjack, a British citizen, was jailed by U.
S. immigration authorities for overstaying his visa. It's unclear what is meant by the claim that "agents" captured Monjack, but we'll assume the source doesn't mean to implicate members of Hollywood's ten-percenting class.
We find it hard to imagine that even the poach-happy CAA would go through the high-risk/low-reward trouble of taking a hostage to convince the sporadically employed Murphy to leave her reps at ICM, as the kidnapping of significant others is a tactic strictly reserved for earners.
