Matthew Perry, the beloved actor known for his iconic role as Chandler Bing in Friends, tragically passed away on October 28 last year. His sudden death left fans across the globe in shock. Initially, it was reported as a drug overdose, but now, a documentary titled TMZ Investigates Matthew Perry and the Secret Celebrity Drug Ring has shed light on deeper, more alarming details surrounding his demise. The documentary reveals a shocking drug racket in Hollywood, involving not just drug dealers but even doctors.
The Dark Truth Behind Matthew Perry’s Death
Matthew Perry’s death has brought to the surface a hidden, dark side of Hollywood where many celebrities fall prey to dangerous drug trades. The post-mortem report showed that Perry, who was only 54 years old, died due to a drug overdose. But what made the situation even more tragic was that it wasn’t just street drugs that killed him. The documentary reveals how doctors and personal assistants played a crucial role in fueling his addiction.
Over a period of just five days, Perry consumed a shocking 27 doses of drugs. The documentary explains how one of his personal assistants, whom he trusted, introduced him to a doctor named Salvador Plasencia. This doctor, along with another colleague, introduced Matthew to the dangerous ketamine drug, making him dependent on it. Gradually, the dosage kept increasing, until his body could no longer handle it.
The Hollywood Drug Trade: Bigger Than Expected
The documentary has exposed not just Perry’s struggle but also the widespread drug trade operating within the entertainment industry. It reveals how greedy doctors target vulnerable stars struggling with addiction. Kelly Osbourne, a famous figure in Hollywood, openly speaks about how celebrities are manipulated by these so-called medical professionals. According to Kelly, these doctors provide easy access to drugs, pretending to help while their real motive is profit.
Brandon Novak, who also appears in the documentary, discusses how drug rackets operate inside doctors’ offices. He explains how some doctors act like dealers, trading prescription drugs for large sums of money, taking advantage of people like Perry who were trying to cope with addiction.
Matthew’s Final Days and the Role of His Assistant
One of the most heartbreaking revelations is the role that Matthew Perry’s personal assistant played. Instead of helping him recover, his assistant made things worse by connecting him to doctors who pushed more drugs into his system. Perry, who was already suffering from addiction, became a victim of this cycle, as he trusted his assistant and the doctors blindly.
The documentary uncovers that on the day of his death, Perry had taken three large doses of drugs. The assistant later admitted that Matthew had taken around 27 doses over the span of just five days leading up to his death. These revelations not only point fingers at the doctors but also raise questions about the people Perry had trusted the most.
Where to Watch This Eye-Opening Documentary
The documentary TMZ Investigates Matthew Perry and the Secret Celebrity Drug Ring aired on FOX on September 16. It will also be available for streaming on Hulu, starting Tuesday. Alongside Kelly Osbourne and Brandon Novak, addiction specialist Dr. Drew also makes an appearance, discussing the unethical practices of the doctors involved in the drug racket and revealing the name of a prominent MD linked to this disturbing case.
This documentary opens up a wider conversation about the vulnerability of celebrities and the dangerous circles they sometimes find themselves in. It serves as a grim reminder of how the lure of drugs and greed can take even the brightest stars from us too soon.
