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 ├óΓé¼┬ª 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 ├óΓé¼ΓÇ£ 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 ├óΓé¼┬ª 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!
