Shawn Levy, the film’s director, said that “from the moment they met, they were together, they laughed all the time.
They made jokes, and they looked happy.” However, Murphy’s personal life took a turn for the worst six months after the couple’s breakup.
She seemed to be adrift and in need of male support, as seen by her four-month engagement to Hollywood talent manager Jeff Kwatinetz.
In 2004 and her brief engagement to a production assistant she met during the Little Black Book shooting in 2005.
Murphy was in a precarious situation at the time she met Monjack in 2006. Her relationships weren’t working, and she was losing studio opportunities as a result of being reported for being late and doing drugs on set.
The unsuspecting celebrity, who never learned to drive a vehicle or manage a checkbook, fell hard because he was unaware of Monjack’s reputation as an enormous liar and scam artist.
