And this is what a rich celebrity with a high profile had to do to get away from her husband and feel safe. Don't think you're being paranoid or overdoing your safety. Do what makes you feel safe.

Remember everyone, if you are in a relationship with someone who is on drugs, it is NEVER a good idea to tell them while they are high or drunk that you are leaving them. Do everything possible to deescalate the situation until they are sober then tell them, preferably 3000 miles away via phonecall. If you are able to do so secretly, text a good friend or family member telling them what is happening and that you intend to leave them and that you'd like their help, even if it's just to hold you accountable so you're not manipulated back to your abuser. If you are worried for your safety or your children's safety, make up some excuse like your mom is sick and leave immediately, but ONLY if you can do so without them following you. (I am NOT blaming Phil, just giving a warning to those who may face this situation.)

I escaped from an abusive relationship with a narcissist. It was very difficult to do, because I was very isolated and I was married to him and he had created a facade of him being a wonderful husband and person to the outside world. In the months before leaving, I informed several key people of my intention to leave. I agree with the advice. If you leave someone who is unstable, you must do it very quickly or end it when you have a lot of distance from that person. When they are disheveled and you are leaving them it is the most dangerous situation to be in.

From experience, if you're in a toxic/abusive relationship with an addict/manipulator... just leave. Tell them nothing, ever. You can't save them and they won't change for you. You don't need their approval, or permission, or forgiveness, and they won't give you that anyway. Even if they won't hurt you physically, any attempt of "doing things right" by talking through it to part as friends or whatever will only trap you. I could've been free years earlier if I hadn't believed I had to do that. You don't. Just leave and never go back.

So what happened with Andy Dick and Jon Lovitz was Andy Dick, who really lives up to his name, saw Jon at a restaurant and went up to him and said “I put the Phil Hartman hex on you- you’re the next to die.” Later in the year the two ran into each other and Jon asked for an apology, and Dick refused and accused Jon of blaming him for Phil’s death, and then Jon bashed his head into the bar at the Laugh Factory.

If you haven't seen anyone else comment on it, it's because it's pretty much a no-brainer. I wouldn't be surprised if there are a few commenters with their usual mission against pharmaceuticals because they had some kind of bad experience (or think they did), and think that makes them experts who should warn everyone about the evil conspiracies. Of course it doesn't help anything that pharmaceutical companies often ARE involved in evil conspiracies, LOL. But that doesn't mean their drugs are Jekyll and Hyde murder/suicide potions either. And I think most people at least have enough sense to know that much. That said, some may take lawsuit settlements (about anything) as an admission of guilt by the entity who pays the settlement, but in truth it's usually impossible to really know. It sounds like this case would have been a WIN for the Zoloft manufacturers, but the months or years of court involvement, with the 'Zoloft = Phil Hartman dead' association could have done much more harm to their repuatation than paying a few million bucks to end it immediately. Still, some will take that as 'shut up so the truth doesn't get exposed' money. It's a double edged sword. If any medical intervention (or lack thereof) was to blame, it would be HER DOCTOR, who misdiagnosed her, and just got her out of the office with a prescription that couldn't treat her narcissistic personality disorder or substance addiction.

I take 150mg of Zoloft & I can say wholeheartedly that it’s saved my life. So I agree that the excuse is bullshit.

Zoloft can be dangerous for people with bipolar disorder, schizoaffective disorder, and various other mental illnesses. A lot of people with these illnesses only seek help when they are depressed and only describe their symptoms of depression ("i can't get out of bed and i've gained 20 pounds"). Health care workers are often in a rush and don't ask enough questions. I'm not posting this comment to make excuses for Bryn Hartman, I'm posting this for anyone reading this that might find it helpful for them personally. If you are prescribed an antidepressant and find yourself acting manic, taking crazy risks, staying awake for days, engaging in any sort of behavior that scares you, stop taking the medication and go back to your doctor.

Abuse towards men isn’t taken as seriously because men shame other men who admit they are being abused by a woman. When a woman stays in an abusive relationship it’s out of fear of the man. When a man stays in an abusive relationship, it’s because he’s ashamed to get help for fear of ridicule. And the cops who you are supposed to be able to count on believing you are men. Only 18% of police in the USA are women. So if you’re a man and you want your stories of abuse to be taken seriously, take it up with the other men and this society that paints women as the weak ones.

I was 12 when Phil Hartman was murdered. My parents regularly watched "NewsRadio," the sitcom on which Phil was a main cast member, and I would watch the show with them. We all loved Phil. I remember my parents telling me when the news broke he had been shot to death by his wife. The tribute episode NewsRadio did for him was heart wrenching; it was obvious all his fellow cast members genuinely loved him. It's truly a shame Phil was taken before his time, and especially by someone as hatefully narcissistic as his wife.

Borderline Personality Disorder is no joke for the loved ones of people who have it. Brynn most definitely had it.

I remember the horrid feeling I had when the tragedy happened. It is so sad and I am still angry at her for robbing the world of Phil, despite knowing she had issues.

I was 13 when he died, and I remember thinking it was just so sad, that his wife was the one to murder him. Years later, when I first watched Kiki's Delivery Service and realized it had been his last role, I had an extra layer of appreciation for it. I hope that his children are able to receive some small comfort from the fact that there is just so much footage out there of Phil, and so, in a way, he can't be forgotten.

Love this ❤️

All of the early SNL cast member deaths were tragic, but this one was definitely the most disturbing. What's just as horrific as his murder and abuse he suffered beforehand was the fact that his children were still in the house. I can't imagine growing up having to live with that. Poor Phil. He was such a talent, and it says a lot that he was willing to do what he was afraid of (leaving her) for the sake of his children.

Wow, props to covering this long-overdue story. I was a big Hartman fan back in the 90s as a young adult that loved SNL and I remember hearing his wife killed him and me thinking that was so crazy, so hard to believe but it was all true. I never heard anymore about the story, except that she shot him and that was it. So thank you for covering this story. It was long overdue for those of us that loved and grew up with SNL when it was actually funny.

Phil Hartmann was one of the ten best SNL ever gave the world.

I remember being at work when I learned that he’d been murdered. I was horrified. His murder was my “John Lennon” or “JFK”. Thoughts of the inexcusable taking of his life still raises a lump in my throat and makes me catch my breath. Thank you, Phil, for every second of joy you brought to us. You are missed beyond measure.

I loved him. He was my favorite SNL actor. I remember hearing about his death while driving to work. I had to pull over to cry. He was so versatile. I loved him.

His voice alone is iconic. There are very few people who have a voice that just mesmerises the listener. Although not a voice actor, Michael Jackson's speaking voice is incredibly soothing. Iconic. Phil's role's in The Simpsons always make me laugh, he doesn't even to have a funny line. His voice alone makes me picture him in the booth.

Phil Hartman was starring in the sitcom "Radio News" when he was killed. My family and I watched the show every week. It was such a shock and even today Phil Hartman is sorely missed. I'm lucky that I never heard any of the salacious rumors. I only heard the truth about his wife's struggles and that he was trying to leave her.

As someone who has experience with the medication Zoloft, I was surprised to hear that her doctor had prescribed it to her. It seems like she had narcissistic tendencies, maybe even some form of ASPD, and although Zoloft is effective for depression (mostly anxiety, if you ask me) I fail to see how it could have helped her in any way. Honestly, she sounds like a nightmare of a person. Self-centered, conniving, jealous and miserable. Not to mention delusional...

I can actually see how it happened in that she probably only told the doctor “her side” of the experience. Narcissistic and abusive people are indeed deeply depressed.

In the end, I feel for the children of them. I feel bad that these stories are out there and available for them to read and understand in the ways they probably wish were never heard and never told.

I remember that day vividly. I was heavily pregnant with my first child and watching the news with one of my soon-to-be inlaws. I think it might have been the first time I spent the night with them, and we were going to pick my fiance up from the bus station the next day. He was returning home from Florida after hearing that I had a benign cyst on my ovary. Anyway, when I heard about it, I was shocked and deeply saddened. I loved Phil Hartman since I was a little girl watching SNL. What I remember most was footage of the cops carrying their babies out of the house. I placed my hand protectively over my pregnant belly and watched the news coverage in disbelief. He's still deeply missed and he deserved so much better. May he R.I.P.

This still haunts me. I was teaching school and it hit me so hard. I always thing positive thoughts for their children. They didn’t deserve this.

But is WIFE WAS SO CRAZYYYYYY AND DAMERIOUSS VERY Dangerous as h*** dangerous.

I remember Phil Hartman in the 90’s when I was a teenager. He was so funny and such a great actor. It was really sad when he died.

Awh this video made me want to cry for poor, poor tragic Phil. I grew up in the late 90s as a kid knowing of his voice Troy Mcclure off the Simpsons and I sincerely adored his character so much... One thing I noticed even as a kid was his voice stood out the most. It was so distinguished and funny because it sold the cheap used car salesman sleeze in such a brilliant way. His voice always stuck out in my head. Years later growing up, I found out one day to my utter disbelief that this voice actor I found so funny, who was a staple sound to my childhood, was murdered when I was 5 years old. Of course my parents never ever would've thought to share this information with me. It haunted me to think that this funny man had been shot in the head by his wife it haunted me. As I got older and read about the circumstances it became so clear how viciously his abuser ruined him. He was a victim of domestic abuse surrounded in a sea of like minded comedians, pals, coworkers, fans. And he was stuck on a small island that whole time. So close to support and support, but so far away from them all. To know deeper his childhood and the invisibility and fragility he faced within his personal identity and self esteem and how tender that sort of pain is, propelled then by an undercurrent of comedic talent that seems to be a drug whereby the user can never quite reach the quintessential and perfect hit... I feel he was always a lost boy constantly striving for the missing puzzle pieces he needed to make him feel whole again, which were his parents. So all of the talent and loveability and sincere natural charm and endearment he oozed due to his nature... He couldn't seem to recognise truly how deeply he was adored. He kept chasing that praise from the wrong people when so many already thought that he was enough. I am so sad now to fully know the deeper aspects of this tragedy.

Thank you for telling us the story with care and respect for Phil. I unfortunately remember hearing the news the day it happened. I can say I was saddened and hurt. I have a hard time to this day watching SNL still. He was one of my absolute favorites on there and I truly think this is a person that was taken too soon, but he did leave his mark on the world. This I am truly honored to have seen. RIP Phil

As a child growing up, my favorite comedians were George Carlin, Sam Kinison, and other comedians who fell under that umbrella. However, my favorite comedian who always brought a smile to my face with his humor (without the curse words and bitterness towards society) was Phil Hartman. I loved him in SNL, Talk Radio, and the Simpsons. I was very familiar with his work and say what you will about Small Soldiers, I liked him in that movie, and I was utterly devastated when I first heard the news about his death. I remember sobbing uncontrollably. I didn't know him but it felt like I had lost a beloved uncle from my life. Even now tears well up in my eyes just thinking about him. I find it eerie that Phil's friends never truly accepted Brynn and am very surprised to know that Elvira (looooooooooved loooved loved her as a child, I even enjoyed her movie) was repulsed with the idea that Phil was going to marry her. I know they say that hindsight is 20/20 but I find it interesting that they were so wary of her.

I can actually relate to Phil. Emotionally neglected and shuts down when dealing with stress. Unfortunately this makes us easy targets for people who abusive. Such a sad situation.

I just discovered your channel. I watched The Jared Fogel story and now this one. You do a very thorough job And I really appreciate the tasteful job you did with Phil Hartman because all that extra sensationalized and unnecessary BS that was spread by the media before was just as senseless as his death. He didn't deserve that and his family didn't need that on top of their tragic loss.

Thanks for your efforts to shine a light on lives that have had challenges. Helpful to understand the world around us.

News Radio is one of the best sitcoms ever and greatly bc of Phil. The episode they say goodbye to Bill (Phil's character) is absolutely heartbreaking. Thank you for covering this case and dispelling the lies so many today still believe about him. He didn't deserve such an end

Phil was such a prolific creative force that his death felt like the end of an era in my life. He was the front man on SNL when I was in high school and was central to the Simpsons early success and best years. He would pop up in films and television with his personality anchoring News Radio. He had decades of his career and outsized influence still ahead. It was tragic what happened and it still reverberates today. Andy Dick’s slow spiral into oblivion is impacted by it. Jon Lovitz was his best friend and it deeply effected him. Joe Rogan has talked about it repeatedly because of his relationship with Phil from News Radio. His murder changed a lot of lives.

What happened to Phil Hartman breaks my heart. Out of alot of the individuals who came out of his SNL class, he had such potential to be a mega star. Heck, I could have seen him breaking out of comedies and doing dramas. If his wife had gotten help, he'd still be with us. Such a shame.

I always appreciate how responsible and respectful you are in telling these stories.

Out of this whole tragedy, the biggest thing that makes me upset is that brynn has been humanized by her family. There was a documentary about Phil, his life and career and they go so deep about how brynn was a fun loving girl and they brought some of her friends to talk and her brother. Completely forgetting the fact that she murdered her own husband and then herself when their kids were in the house and even before that, she would mistreat Phil, get temper tantrums when he got fan mail, threatened to hurt one of his ex wives in a letter, overall jealous of her husband’s success because she couldn’t find any herself: the list goes on and on. I’ve nothing but anger toward that woman; so sad that domestic abuse in men and husbands isn’t really taken that seriously. Hopefully, the depp/heard trial helped to change all that. Brynn was high on Zoloft and cocaine at the time she killed Phil. She was in and out of rehab, got sober and then fell of the wagon again and was abusing drugs and antidepressants and her brother then had the gall to sue the company Pfizer for his sister being under the influence of the anti depressant 🤦‍♀️ Rest In Peace, Phil. We miss you 💔

The moment the admitting dr. saw zoloft on his prescription sheet, he took him off it. And this family member wasn't even taking any other drugs or alcohol like Brynn was.

I just don't know if he would be able to get information that not already on the hundreds of deep dives into the case. I think that woman needs to be in an insane asylum. She did everything she could to get help! All the people around her failed her. Now, add those facts to the fact she had a tape of her preacher (cult leader?)

In fact, he took her home AMA, when the doctors warned him not to leave her alone with the kids. Her husband was privy to all of it. She isn't crazy. She was though. When you have certain mental health issues, you must take medicine, because nothing else helps and it just grows to be worse and worse. When she did this we didn't have HALF the antidepressants to treat women that we do now. Postpartum wasn't even really something anyone knew or understood, they called them pregnancy blues and were told it's "normal" for people to feel that. But because of they religion, he preferred for her not to take medicine. Andrea Yates tried HARD to kill herself, all the time. I believe she even told a doctor she was afriad she was going to hurt her kids. I meant, you can say that he had nothing to do with it, but you're wrong. He was negligent. She was in NO PLACE to even care for HERSELF, MUCH LESS LIKE 5 KIDS... Or was it 6?, but you get the point. The man neglected his way to loosing his whole family. She needed help and she didn't everything to try to get it. It was always her husband and their religion... That pulled her out of getting that help. Their church had extreme views.. nobody made her do anything. But literally every single person in her life failed her over and over again. What makes this all worse, has she gone to court without taking her meds (which she didn't have a choice but to take) the judge would have never let her go to trial. In fact, her trial was postponed because OF THIS! she wasn't fit to sit for trial. But don't worry, after a year (or was it two years?) She is an educated girl and she let them postpone the trial. She has the right to a speedy trial. When she was finally on the correct combo of medicine that stabilized her, the judge rules her competent. The jury first meets her and she's just a normal lady. The point of the insanity plea is their state of mind. She would ramble about delusional things. Like, I can't stress this enough.. A DOCTOR TOLD HIM THAT ITS NOT SAFE TO THE LEAVE THE KIDS WITH HER, ALONE! yeah, he was absolutely complicit. He watched her go on a downward spiral when he told her to stay home and take care of the kids. She loved her job. Listen, is it okay that she murdered her kids? Absolutely not!! She wasn't given a fair trial. If anyone should have been given the insanity plea, it SHOULD HAVE BEEN HER! it was obvious that she didn't live in the same world the rest of us do. She actually WAS INSANE! and she had no fucking idea what she was doing. She believed that they are doomed for hell and she believed it was because SHE was their mom. She was openly delusional. WHY WOULD ANYONE LEAVE KIDS WITH SOMEONE LIKE THAT??? The whole system failed her and those kids. The extremist cults pounded in her head that her delusions were god leading her into the light to save her. The guys that did this... Got in a whole lot trouble because he was a fraud. I feel bad for her, I don't think she should ever really be free. But I do think she should be spending her life in a hospital instead, in fact other people murdered and tortured and STILL got out. Casey Anthony...Robert durst...I mean, it goes on and on and and on. Yates WAS literally insane! And they intentionally waited until she was stable so that the jury would believe she wasn't sick. Not one person in her life was on her side. And I understand that. It's a heinous act. Her delusions won! And all of it was preventable!

Phil lived an unusual life even before he ever went on to Saturday Night Live . An accurate miniseries needs to be made about his unique life . Really ashamed about his sad demise ... a shame for his children and I think they were raised by Martin Short ... ?

As a late diagnosed high functioning Autistic Adult, the description of him becoming overwhelmed and detaching from emotional situations and taking extended periods of time to process them feels VERY familiar.

i always watch Dreading when other True Crime youtubers start to weigh too heavy on me. the care with which every case is taken on and the fact that you guys do everything to respect and show the the lives of those affected really helps tell the facts without being cold or too speculative

You did Phil justice with this video. RIP Phil Hartman. You might remember him as the guy who made everyone laugh.

Underrated obscure Phil Hartman project is the voice of titular voice of Blasto! for the PS1.

Very respectful and informative episode. I have listened to almost all of your shows but have avoided this one as it’s just so damned sad, but decided to listen to it this morning. I had no idea about the CSN logo being done by him, among other things. He was such a talent. I loved him on News Radio! What a shame - he would have gone on to do great things. R.I.P.

Imagine how Phil’s family and friends felt after such a wonderful, talented man who they loved was murdered and then the scummy media lied about him and tried to absolutely ruin his legacy! Absolutely disgusting and what a horror Bren was, Phil deserved better!

@@brianlacroix822 No. They were reporting rumors. None of the bad things the tabloids said about him were true. This was in the 90s when the world still refused to believe that men could, and often are, abused by their spouse. Spousal abuse is almost never talked about when it’s the female that is doing the abusing. Even now, In 2022, it’s still not treated with the same seriousness as when the male is the abuser. I am not a feminist in any way whatsoever, but I feel very strongly about this topic. This case is one of the best examples of how female abusers are almost never held to the same standard male abusers. Not only that, but the public and law enforcement both have a way of making men feel embarrassed and not comfortable speaking out against their abusers. There were numerous accounts of Phil showing up to work with noticeable physical injuries from Brin attacking Phil. He would laugh it off or try to minimize the seriousness of it, but people still took notice. She also would blatantly belittle and emotionally and verbally abuse Phil infront of others just to embarrass him. If the tables were turned and it was Phil being the abuser, he would have been arrested, charged, and shunned from the entertainment industry without a second thought. After she killed him and then herself the tabloids were trying so hard to find any dirt they could on Phil because people couldn’t, and wouldn’t, allow themselves to believe that Brin was nothing more than a psychotic, violent, hateful and drug addicted witch who had a history of bullying and harassing anyone who dared to tell her no or do something to set her off. Phil tried relentlessly to get her some help because he was a good person and wanted his kids to have a good mother. And unfortunately it got him killed. People refused to believe that she was a terrible person who murdered her husband and then took the cowardly route and killed herself instead of facing the consequences to her actions. The tabloids tried to find some sort of dirt on him that would somehow explain why she did what she did. At the end of the day Phil’s only mistake was giving her the benefit of the doubt and trying to get her some help because he was a good man and didn’t want his kids to be without their mom. Sadly his refusal to take his kids and kick that spiteful demon witch to the curb where she belonged cost him his life.

@@nadiadelphi6850 Lol men get away with abuse 100000x more than women what are you on about.. and they don't have to commit suicide Weinstein, Chris Brown, Polanski and i could go on Two people can be terrible at the same time Phil could've been a horrific person while Brynn was an abusive bitch to him you don't know these people so quit defending them it's weird (although most rich people are terrible so i'm saying he was probably not a good guy)

I was a child when Phil Hartman passed. I watched his stuff mainly through The Simpsons, Jingle All the Way, and Kiki’s Delivery Service (his final role). He was the best part of the English dub so when later DVD editions took out his singsongy meow at the end, I was pretty upset. Thankfully I still have the OG VHS. Rest In Peace Phil. I hope the Hartman family is having a peaceful life too. 💜

No "The Houseguest"? (Sinbad, with Phil as the 'straightman' dad / familyman, whose family a McDonalds loving conartist, Sinbad, moves in & creates havoc for, while they both teach each other things. Its probably the best Phil Hartman movie)

@@uui219 that’s so true. I really should get a DVD backup of the VHS! I know a few peeps @ work that can help I’ve also heard the ‘05 edition of the DVD is another way you can get the original dub back. Tbh I wish streaming services gave dub options instead of preferring one dub over the other. Nostalgia is a thing after all!
