Friends Say Brittany Had "A Lot Of Inner Demons"

Poor girl! We still haven't escaped the shock of this and the more her close friends come out and talk about her, the more we wonder how much the world really didn't know about Brittany Murphy.

Rumors of troubles with eating disorders and drug abuse aren't really news to us, but they seem to the leading theories behind her demise. Her close friends say that she suffered from "a lot of inner demons."

Clueless director Amy Heckerling believes that the root of her problems came from her poor body image, which many have originated from the set of their film. Amy says:

"She seemed to go through a change on Clueless. Maybe she felt like she was not the, like, skinny, pretty girl, you know? And then the next few movies she was, you know, thinner, blonde … going out with Eminem and Ashton Kutcher."

Another close friend and source agreed, saying:

"A lot of her problems were due to poor self image. She wore extraordinary amounts of makeup, tons of fake eyelashes, got her teeth capped, dyed her hair blonde, lost weight – she wanted to be a beauty. She didn't want to be the fat girl from Clueless. She didn't eat a lot. She would drink copious amounts of coffee."

Doesn't sound like much of a life, does it?

The worst of it was that in the end, she was only hurting herself and her career as other sources claimed she was "unfocused" on the set of her films and one insider on her most recent indie flick, Something Wicked, claimed that Murphy "was barely there … She'd go in and out of consciousness in the middle of takes."

Wow. How very sad.

Much, much too young to have gone this way, but it just goes to show how hard the Hollywood life is for some!

      Perez, go fuck yourself.

      Seriously.

      You're a fat sack of shit who sucks cocks and rips apart others, yet you KNOW if it was someone saying something about YOUR fat ass you'd be on it with a lawyer pushing hate charges because "it's because you're gay." and "it's slander".
      Wawawa.

      You rip apart this poor woman, and countless others behind that computer screen of yours, no doubt with a bag of cheetos in your lap, and then when they die it's "OMG HOW TRAGICCCCCC POOR GIRL"

      FUCK YOU.

      No one likes you perez.
      Seriously.
      Sorry you got stood up at the prom and no one wants you.
      But, get a freaking hobby.

      yet you're the first person to call out anyone whose gained weight? keep pushing…maybe you will kill "mushy" at some point. don't be a hypocrite and don't think there is no blood on your hands…



    3. 103

      Sounds like a latter day Karen Carpenter. I think famous women are especially vulnerable to the pressure to be thin.



    4. 104

      OK, so here you have an actress who loses a little weight, gets her teeth capped, dyes her hair blonde, and dates hot movie hunks.Umm…that sounds like half the starlets in tinsel town if you ask me! I don't exactly call that having "inner demons." There was nothing abnormal about what Brittany did. Lets not label the girl a psyche case before the autopsy even comes out.



    5. 105

      you are a fat fuck. you wanted this to happen and now you're reaping the benefits. you make me sick. go to hell



    6. 106

      Just spoke to Sylvia Browne for an interview and she said that her death is related to anarexia just like Karen Carpenter.



    7. 107

      and you were so sympathetic toward her during those rough times. you should be very proud, mario.



    8. 108

      perezite you are one of the many people who makes a difference in a celebrity's life

      God knows what effect you had on her



    9. 109

      YOU'RE SUCH A HYPOCRITE PEREZ. USUALLY I DON'T SAY ANYTHING>
      BUT YOU FED INTO HER POOR SELF-IMAGE.
      sorry to have gone all kanye west.
      but you made fun of the way she looked as well. don't act like it's all sad when you yourself contributed to her demise.



    10. 110

      very sad. I loved her in clueless and girl, interrupted. Such a sad loss, may she rest in peace away from her poor self image issues :(

    11. @v@ says – reply to this


      111

      Really? This is the latest issued by the Associated Press. 'Authorities said Monday it appeared actress Brittany Murphy died of natural causes after becoming ill with flulike symptoms in the days before she collapsed in the bathroom of her Hollywood Hills home. Winter said Murphy's family reported she had been ill and that could have contributed to her death.'



    12. 112

      Who you going to help kill next Perez?



    13. 113

      And I'm sure your constant criticism and mocking didn't help her feel better about herself, ASS!



    14. 114

      Perez….you are awful. Think back to how many times you slammed her and her husband. I love you and your incredible personality, but you must feel some pang of remorse when an actress to whom you have been ruthless dies of such mysterious and preventable causes. You just might have contributed to her anguish…whether it be drugs or an eating disorder. Please consider hanging up your gossip blog….instead, speak of fashion and music…..you are brilliant in that arena, and no one gets hurt.



    15. 115

      This is sooo sad….. I thought she was a great actress. Hollywood can really suck the confidence and self-esteem out of someone.

      Sad that the people who claim to be her good friends, would sell her out to the media just a few days after her death.



    16. 116

      They should lay her to rest next to Kutcher's career



    17. 117

      Can someone help me understand why her mother is the one that found her and not her husband??? Did her mother live with them? Seems funny that he didn't find her.



    18. 118

      She had poor body image? Imagine that. She was perfect just the way she was and yet she felt a need to live up to a media generated standard of beauty. No wonder why eating disorders and BDD are more common in modern times. Women are having more pressure put on them than ever. We are expected to always look sexy and young and thin because these things are what give us our "worth" or "value" as a human being, right? Right? We are all slaves to fleeting externals.



    19. 119

      everyone is coming out now? who was her support when she was still on earth??? easy to comment when she is dead



    20. 120

      She wasn't fat in "Clueless".
      Re: Poindexter-X

      In Hollyweird anything above a size 2 is fat. Word is even Drew Barrymore was ridiculed because she was a size 8. A fucking size 8 is fat to Hollywooders. Unbelievable.



    21. 121

      I loved her!! Its so sad she felt that way about herself i wish the people around her tho would have stepped in and tried to help her!!



    22. 122

      Perez, you're disgusting.

      "Poor girl" "How very sad" seriously? For months all you did was insult the girl for being a disgusting mess and now you're saying how sad it is she had problems.

      You can't just go changing your opinions of someone because they're dead.

      You're part of the reason this girl probably had a poor image of herself. Kudos.

      Perhaps you should make a public apology for being such a douchbag to the Murph before you make a statement about how sad this all is. Seriously dude, you're so FAKE!



    23. 123

      How is that news?? EVERYONE wants to be beautiful. Brittany WAS beautiful InSIDE and OUT too. She is no different than any other girl, woman, child. even Suri Cruise wants to be beautiful. Angelina was overweight in some of her movies to where she didn't even have a waist. Now look at her…she wanted to be so beautiful she lasered her skin of tats, lost copious amounts of weight and has become the poster child for everything glamour. Really this isn't news that a woman would want to dawn fake eyelashes, lose weight, and fix their teeth. You make it sound like she was doing something so dirty. She was a very pretty girl she just internalized her role on Clueless. Angie does the same thing she became mrs. smith and has taken on the roles of many of her movie's characters. So what, no news here.



    24. 124

      I see a pattern when some1 famous passes, people can't let them rest in peace!! Every1 wants to talk about drug habits and inner demons but @ the end of the day we all have problems and should b remembered for the good not the bad…so let those who pass b already!!!



    25. 125

      Well Perez no half way decent posting on beloved brit, and you know this very well can take away the abusive, heartless things you have written about her. I actually cried, my nite was ruined when I heard yesterday. Don't go living in denial alike TIGER WOODS IN THAT U DIDNT CONTRIBUTED TO HER DEATH. U REALLY HATE YOURSELF DON'T YA?[r. e=4612292]Re: adneauseum[/re]



    26. 126

      You know what I think. They should start arresting these damn psychiatrists that are prescribing all sorts of meds not caring about the patient but the money they make. How many people need to die for people to see this? DJ AM, Heath Ledger, MJ ect. We just lost a talented actress because of stupid meds, I guarantee you this was an OD. This is frustrating!

      No shit, if u still live on those crappy ass over priced Polazio apts near off Beverly//Fairfax in Los Angeles I hope your ass gets beat where you can't blog anymore. Re: TripFontaine



    28. 128

      Where the fuck was that swine husband of hers? Why do I sense he enabled her and had part. That fucking scumb bag. Wtf is really going on now a days!? What does this mother fucker have to say bout this. Fishy ass bs. Don't think ur off the hook either Mario. U talk about so called gay using baby making fudge packers as role models when u tear down girls/women. U fucking whore for fame spineless ignorant idiot! U obviously don't believe in God.



    29. 129

      Re: @v@ – I realize people want to believe what they want to believe. Some are wanting to say that she died of "natural causes," others want to say it was drugs, but no one will not the truth until drug and toxicology tests are concluded.
      The County of Los Angeles’ Department of Coroner said after autopsy was conducted that the cause of death was “deferred” for more tests.

      Toxicology tests and tissue studies will now be performed on the body. Results will be back in approximately 4-6 weeks or more, according to Lt. Fred Corral, a spokesperson for the Department of Coroner.
      If it was drugs it doesn't matter whether they were legal or illegal if she was using (abusing) them to get high.
      We'll know in due time.
      I can't see how anyone can read the accounts of her behavior: "going in and out of consciousness in the middle of taping scenes" and still be in denial.
      Nobody would be doing this as a symptom of illness and not be rushed to the hospital - instead of fired.
      Some of you will make excuses for her death no matter what.



    30. 130

      REALLY PEREZ? You really got to start apologizing for some of the things you post on here. This is your last post PRE-DEATH of this an actress who had her own shit to deal with:

      PEREZ HILTON WRITES:

      Is Brittany Murphy all hopped up on the crazy happy pills???

      You be the judge!

      Miz Murphy attended the premiere of her new horror flick, Across the Hall, on Monday night at the Laemmle 3 in Beverly Hills.

      And Brit was lookin' a little Abdrool-y, if U catch our drift!

      Maybe she was just tired from all the drama surrounding her getting fired leaving her latest flick.

      ———————————-

      Really? I guess your opinion does change rather quick. Now that she's passed, she's probably one of your good friends and you cannot believe it happened to you…woops, cross that out, i mean, HER!

      Oh and pass a message to your "Wifey" for me. Her music's Golden…but her Pompous Attitude which, by the way, is the sign of a Coke'd induced hoe (shouldn't you be helping her or is the mere fact that she's your "wifey" reason enough for you to support her WINO ways acceptable) is an annoying POSER who should simply rely on her musical talent to continue giving her cred instead of annoying us with her bullshit arrogant I'm Andy Warhol for Music persona, which is ALL that it is!

      Rest in Peace Brittany: You're just a virgin, who can't drive!



    31. 131

      This is just soo sad. I watched a clip of a recent interview w/Brittnay, where she's talking about how her and her hubby were going to start trying for children after the new year. In the interview she crosses her fingers and looks up to the sky and saids something like "god willing, please". Just so unfair, she seemed like such a nice person.



    32. 132

      Re: YataYataYata – Her mom always lived with Brittany. I remember seeing Brittany's MTV crib eppy a long tme ago, and she mentioned that she and her mom still lived together. They were super close, I feel so sad for her mom.



    33. 133

      I really have to call you out on this one Mario, you are the biggest fucking hypocrite on the planet. Your posts continually ridicule people for their looks and weight and you have the nerve to act like you're remotely concerned when you are just as responsible as anyone. You use your words like weapons and I cannot wait for the day for you to start gaining weight back so people can write cruel things about you like you do to anyone else who is isn't physically perfect in your eye. You are pathetic Mario.



    34. 134

      Re: DaisyHalt – She's right Perez. It's time you took a look at your own actions. These cause eating disorders as well. Is it worth it?



    35. 135

      Where WERE THOSE friends when she was ALIVE?? It's always the same. Someone s dying and then everybody says, "oh yeah she was so talented and bla bla". Where have those friends been in her darkest hours?? Saying she was great after her death is really lame. I guess most of the "friends" magazines are writing about are just people who met her once or twice on a film set



    36. 136

      I don't think she had drug problems or something like that, she didn't acted this way. She seemed very smart, nice and clear in her interviews and it's sad she died so young. May people try to make money with her dead with upcoming stories. Maybe she really battled with an eating disorder, we don't know, maybe the autopsy will bring some light into the questions

    41. 141

      Re: Pepa – IF SOMEONE DID KILL PEREZ , U WOULD BE ON HERE WRITI NG"i,m so shocked , i loved commenting on his brilliant website……
      SO SHUT UP LOSER!!



    42. 142

    43. 143

      this is so sad!! poor thing RIP



    44. 144

      stop writing about her. period. you piece of shit, you have always bashed and trashed her and now all of the sudden you're describing her death as 'tragic' and 'how very sad' it is. you are so full of shit. just shut the fuck up and let us *real* fans mourn.
      you're such a wannabe who think you *are* somebody. you're nothing, you're not worth anything. stupid fuckin tard!

      145

      Hey Perez, How does it feel to accuse someone of something that they didn't do????? It is now confirmed that there was NO FOUL PLAY! and that both MOTHER and HUSBAND frantically tried to save brittnay….. NOT ONLY THAT, but there is no SUSPICION for foul play considering so far there is no EVIDENCE that the HUSBAND was even in HER WILL!!!

      SOOO TAKE your ACCUSATIONS and shove them up your big fat asshole!!!!!!!!



    46. 146

      let this be a warning to you perez. you are a nasty backstabbing, unprofessional fool. these are people's lives you mess with. this girl needed help. you were aware of it, yet you used your "celebrity" status to trash talk her and make a mockery of her situation. your haters are made from your own poor decisions. take the new year to ponder this and make the much needed changes. this is not funny anymore. your comments, in retrospect, were sick. you must live with the conscience that you may well have added to brittany's negative body image and insecurities. only god can forgive you now.



    47. 147

      Daisy Halt is spot on.



    48. 148

      Hooray for HOLLYWOOD!



    49. 149

      what? she was gorgeous. who said anything about fat? oh comon now this weight thing has gone too far. all these pro anorexic sites and people that say everyone should be thinner should be shot.



    50. 150

      she should have been with me, i'm notorious for making girls gain weight. lol, but i stay slim!



    51. 151

      that's really sad, she was a wonderful girl.

      but blogs like these contribute to the hollywoodlife celebrities feel they should live up to. it's quite disgusting. i hope one day you do realize this.



    52. 152

      Once again,you're a hypocritical asshole! You put people down,then if something like this happens,you say nice things about them!
      WTF is your problem,Mario? You're just a back-stabbing fucktard!



    53. 153

      you guys u hate perez and i totally agree
      each time he pust down so many ppl, notices their every weakness and laughs at it meanly although he is nothing not better than anyone
      BUT THE THING IS WE ARE GUILTY TOO- we come hera and we read all this stuff and we buy it and we love it too
      so dont u say anything bout him if u still come here and contribute to such assholes ike he
      make a difference- stop visiting such sites, stop buying press where celebs are put down (or glorified too becoz both are bad) stop bein into all this shizz
      we live in a cruel world and many of us have not learned how to love themselves enouf to do what they want and not be influenced by media
      just look at kristen stewart - she is like the ONLY person who doesnt give a shit about fame and permits to be herself (not an always happy person who has different feelings) - well what he did? HE PUT AND PUTS HER DOWN
      and when girls try hard to win love like brittany - HE PUTS THEM DOWN TOO

      and btw fyi there are millions of girls out there who hate themselves for not bein perfect and dont see anything in themselves- so its nothin about hollywood, this is real life since a long time



    54. 154

      Re: Anon1001 – You are one sick bastard.



    55. 155

      Poor girl??? Why the eff is it "poor girl" now but when she was alive all you did was feed those demons? One day you'll be judged and for your sake, I hope not as harshly as you judge others. I doubt you'll take this as yet another lesson about how words can hurt and why you should watch what you say. Sadly, you don't care. As long as we keep clicking, right? I should have stopped after what you said about MJ. Your mother must be so proud!



    56. 156

      Gosh what a shame. She was a beautiful woman with a bright future. Wish she could have gotten the help she needed. Rest In Peace Brittany!



    57. 157

      Re: DaisyHalt – i agree.



    58. 158

      ouch…RIP



    59. 159

      The reality is MOST of the "pretty girls" in Hollywood have the exact same habbits ;p Look at people like Megan Fox and Jessica Alba. Tons of makeup? Check. Dyed head? Check. Teeth fixed? Check. Constantly getting thinner? Check. They need to get help before they reach Brittany's demise.



    60. 160

      she was so beautiful and an amazing actress the films she made always made me smile and she always made me happy i shall miss her . so sad .
