Brittany Murphy Has Issues

Something tells me Brittany Murphy was abused as a child. While else would she marry  her dog of a husband, Simon Monjack? Daddy must have done some sick shit to her, because she was engaged three times in three years and THIS is the guy she settled with.

Meanwhile, New York Magazine tells the tale of an insecure Brittany at NYC’s Fall 2008 Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, who dodged reporters and questions about starting a family with her rapist. I mean, her hubby. Excuse me.

At Monday evening’s Max Azria show, we caught sight of Murphy — the first celebrity to wander out from backstage after photographers waited for about 40 minutes — refusing an interview with one gossip-magazine reporter by placing her hand gently on the girl’s arm and intoning, “Not for that magazine. Your magazine HURT. MY. LIFE.” As the reporter stammered an apology, Murphy cooed, “I’m so sorry. It’s not you. Any other one, People, whatever, but not yours.”

The wan Murphy, truth be told, was both amusing and a little all-over-the-place. One minute she was cooing about wanting children since back when she was practically a baby herself; the next she dodged questions about actually starting a family — and at one point she tapped a photographer on the shoulder to beg for a retake on a photo she feared was ugly.

Of course she doesn’t want to talk about starting a family. She’s got major daddy issues to resolve before she even thinks of popping anything out of her vagina and breastfeeding it.

Brittany Spears already has that trainwreck covered.
