Sources Say Matthew Perry’s Life Was ‘Overtaken By Addiction’ While ‘Hollywood Is Full of Enablers’
In the Matthew Perry: A Hollywood Tragedy preview, sources tell the Peacock documentary interviewers about how the actor’s life was overtaken by addiction because “Hollywood is full of enablers.”
“They really preyed on somebody vulnerable,” one source says. “He was doing so well. Everyone thought he was clean and sober. That’s when we knew that there’s way more to this story.”
Martin Estrada, U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California, who is investigating Perry’s death, made an appearance in the documentary.
“He had died as a result of ketamine,” Estrada explained. “The defendants have all been charged. Three of them have pled guilty and will be cooperating. Two remain.”
Estrada then added, “The allegations show a trained doctor is injecting Mr. Perry in parking lots. We used to blame [the] victim. We don’t do that anymore.”
