Simon Monjack hasn't hesitated for a second from speaking with the media about Brittany Murphy!

Some matters are better left private, don't U think?

Monjack has given a lengthy interview with a UK tabloid, arguing against the allegations that he's a "conman" and was a bad influence on Murphy until the end.

"I know I have been called a conman," said Simon. "I am not perfect. I never said I was. But there has been so much rubbish written about me and Brittany. Most of what you read is made up."

So why, according to Monjack, has the media been so quick to point fingers at the British screenwriter???

"My problem is that I do not look like Ashton Kutcher… Nor do they like the fact that she [Brittany] married someone who was not famous. [In Hollywood], stars like stars to marry other stars," claimed Monjack.

Yeah, it had nothing to do with the accusations of owing numerous people hundreds of thousands of dollars or that he violated the terms of his American visa!

Monjack went on to describe the last few hours of Murphy's life, stating his wife was "tired and a little sad because she was sick."

And how about the bottles upon bottles of prescription meds found by Brittany's bedside after her death?

"…Addicts hide away their pills. They do not leave them on the nightstand like Brittany," said Simon. "Some of them were old and date back to when Brittany had some ailment or other. You know how people accumulate things and never throw them away."

He's got an answer for everything, doesn't he?
