Regarding Munchhausen by proxy, back when Brittany first died I mentioned a trashy book I had read about Eminem that included info about Brittany Murphy and her mom. I had thought of their relationship as that of a drug user and enabler at the time, but in reading back the excerpts with the idea of Munchhausen in mind, these stories can take on different meaning.
Even though this book was trashy gossip, it had a ring of truth to it, so I tend to believe it. The part that said Brittany's mom blamed Eminem for Brittany's "seizure" and said she shouldn't have let her daughter get involved with him was interesting. What if Sharon got Brittany sick ever time she became attached to someone she feared might take her away from her? Yeah, I know. I'm about as crazy as Brittany's dad with the conspiracy theories. Are we even sure the toxicology results are real and verifiable given that Brittany's dad is the one waving them around?
a few weeks later on New Year's Eve. That gave everyone time to see how high-maintenance Brittany was on the set of 8 Mile, where she was `chaperoned' by her overbearing mother. Jennifer, who went to school with Eminem, details their relationship in an explosive new book, Cleaning Out My Closet.
She writes: "During the filming of 8 Mile, Brittany and her mother were calling a doctor to the set for everything. There were times when Brittany's mom would even call Marshall's Aunt Betty with a list of things she wanted bought for her daughter. She'd be specific with brand names and sizes and do not ever give her generic prescription drugs. That just won't do."
---------------------------------
Besides the main party area, Eminem also had a special suite in which he crammed a group of strippers. "By the time I got there," Jennifer adds in her book, "they were carrying Brittany out of the suite. "Someone went and got Brittany's mom and she started sobbing. She was yelling for someone to call a doctor. They didn't want 911 (the equivalent of our 999 emergency service). Oh God no! She wanted her own doctor to come to the Ponchatrain Hotel at 1am on New Year's Eve! "I remember her saying, `Don't use Brittany's real name. She goes by Brittany Bertaloni'." The story doing the rounds that night, adds Jennifer, was that Brittany had had a drink, then a stripper gave her a cannabis joint and she had a seizure. The following day Jennifer visited Marshall. "He was in the kitchen, chuckling in a way that told me he was angry and frustrated," she writes. "He said to me, `Last night was Brittany Murphy at her best!' "When I asked what he meant by that he said she'd faked the whole thing. I asked him how he could be so sure and he said it was because she was talking to him just fine in the room he took her to...that is, until either her mother would come in or when he confronted her about it being an act. Then he said she'd act like she was having a seizure again. "They were close to finishing 8 Mile and Marshall avoided Brittany. He said, `I don't want nothin' to do with her'."
