Matthew Perry Used Pregnant Ex-Girlfriend Score Cocaine, Heroin For Him

Matthew Perry's ex-girlfriend claims she picked up cocaine, heroin, and crack for him while she was five months pregnant.

Perry, who struggled with addiction for most of his life, was found unresponsive in his hot tub two months ago. An autopsy revealed that the 'Friends' actor died from acute effects of the drug Ketamine. 

The autopsy also states that Perry was utilizing Ketamine therapy at the time of his death for anxiety and depression, however, his last known treatment overseen by a medical professional was over one week before he passed, meaning the Ketamine found in his system could not have been from therapy as the drug’s half-life is only three to four hours.

In an interview, Kayti Edwards, who dated Matthew Perry in 2006 after meeting him at an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, alleged that the actor used her to pick up “cocaine, heroin, and crack” for him while she was five months pregnant.

“I was like five months pregnant, going down and getting stuff for him. He [would say], ‘No one’s going to pull over a pregnant girl. Don’t worry,’” she said at the time.

She also recalled one time she went to Perry's house and found him with his hands superglued to his legs so that he wouldn't keep taking drugs.

“I was at Matthew’s place in the Hollywood Hills. He was in a bad way,” she told The UK Sun. “He had been getting high all night on a plethora of drugs, most likely crack cocaine and other substances," she added.

“I found Matthew on the couch with his hands superglued to his legs — it was desperately sad. I had to use nail polish remover and olive oil to free him," Perry's ex recalled.

Edwards then added, “We were literally ripping the hair from his legs and he had red, raw patches left behind, it was pretty horrific."

The 54-year-old actor had struggled with addiction for a long time, though it wasn’t until he released his memoir that he opened up and let down his walls about that time in his life.

Last year, when getting ready for the ‘Friends’ reunion, Perry stated he had been clean for 18 months at the time, even, spending “$9 million or something trying to get sober.”

Although Perry claimed he was sober, the actor died from the acute effects of the drug Ketamine, according to the autopsy report. The actor had utilized Ketamine therapy for anxiety and depression, however, his last known treatment overseen by a medical professional was over one week before he passed. Because the drug’s half-life is only three to four hours, the Ketamine found in his system could not have been from therapy.

Per the autopsy report, “drowning contributes due to the likelihood of submersion into the pool as he lapsed into unconsciousness; coronary artery disease contributes due to exacerbation of ketamine-induced myocardial effects on the heart. Buprenorphine effects are listed as contributory, even though not at toxic levels, due to the additive respiratory effects when present with high levels of ketamine.”

Ketamine is approved for use at high doses as an anesthetic in the operating room. Even though ketamine has been FDA-approved and legalized for use as a general anesthetic since the 1970s, it can be abused as a recreational drug.
