A former employee of Murphy's told the New York Daily News that the Clueless star believes she is being pursued by "a high-powered Hollywood player." In April, Murphy's husband Simon Monjack disappeared for 10 days. Murphy attributed the disappearance to a kidnapping that was carried out by associated of the "Hollywood player."

"When [Monjack] came back, he had head injuries. He was pale and sometimes had trouble standing," says the actress' ex-employee. Topping off the bizarre tale, Murphy told her staffer that she would not be able to pay him because she had used her money for ransom for Monjack.

The National Enquirer contradicts Brittany's kidnapping tale, claiming instead that British citizen Monjack had overstayed his visa and had been jailed by immigration during those days in April.
