@@LizaB486Am talking about the guy who asked for a big one. He also had large amounts of opiods and benzodiazepines in his system and these 2 were the top contributors to his demise. Ketamine was the least contributing factor
To be honest, I'd have to say that when someone is addicted to anything it's the addiction usually talking, not the person who is addicted. So, while he was an adult making a decision, because he has an addiction the duty of the people around him would have to have been to deter him from that direction rather than bringing him to it. So, it's still their fault because Matthew was not thinking properly at the time. Grown adult or not.
He absolutely definitely did NOT say that, especially as someone who desperately wanted to get sober and struggled with that. That assistant lied and deceived Matthew, and he thinks people are actually going to believe him?? It’s disgusting that he’d resort to that knowing how people view addicts. Thinking it’ll stick because “they were a piece of sh*t junky, I’m sure he said it.” Fuck those people. They need to be under the damn prison.
Thinking about how my brother died on a relapse because the heroin was laced with fentanyl smh. Glad they are holding them accountable but what about every doctor over prescribing to addicts every day in the non famous American community
Yeah unfortunately at the point of his death his addiction was a run away train. And those doctors knew what they were doing and what they did and what would eventually happen. They should be charged no one should abuse their power of any kind to hurt and kill in any way period. He was suffering this is awful 😢 rip Matthew Perry
(1) Mr. Perry was a sick human being. His addiction (as all addictions) is considered "sickness". As such, he was incapacitated to make sound choices. So his care takers hold a vicarious responsibility for the well being of the sick person, in this case Mr. Perry. (2) Mr. Perry is dead, so what you say doesn't really apply.
@Ultorvindex I'm not saying those people who gave him ketamine are not to blame. But he knew he was addicted ..had the money to go to rehab. Wrote a book about it so he was aware of the issues he faced. It's a shame that people Don t see drug users in L.A street life as victims!! If they have to be held accountable so should of Matthew Perry
What a sadly ignorant and cruel comment. He was a human being who suffered from addiction that he tried to stop. It is know that addiction is a brain chemistry disease. No one starts out wanting to be an addict.
What you all say is truth, but there are plenty of us out here that have lost a loved one to drugs. Nobody was arrested in a lot of their deaths. I guess it only matters if you are a rich celebrity!!!!!! ENOUGH!

Addiction falls under mental health, it’s not a punitive sentence, and no one “deserves” any illness. Yes, people make choices around responses to illness everyday. If you look into the latest research, say the work of Dr Gabor Mate, you’d learn it’s a trauma response. We’re all collectively supposed to be helping to eradicate the stigma of all mental health issues. It’s all our responsibilities to learn more and advocate more strongly. We are on the cusp of understanding a lot more about mental health than modern psychiatry has led us to believe. May you and all your loved ones be spared from suffering and ill health. (BTW KCAL CBS Los Angeles dropped an excellent report on the arrests here on RUclips yesterday I believe).
I’m wondering if he were more easily coaxed in there, to make this seem like a freak accident. Idk, I’m probably way wrong lol. But to make it look liked he OD’ed and drowned seems like it would take some “heat” off of them. Even though they’re all dumbasses Lmao.
I always wonder why celebrities are so drawn into drugs. It is an honest, genuine curiosity. The other day I watched Bill Burr talk about male celebrities and cheating. Even though it was a comedy show, he made good points, and it sheds a light on situations regular people don´t experience.... ¨ a platoon of whxxres that is going to form on the horizon... when you get famous¨. As a man, I can imagine the daily temptations that aflict these celebrities, and it makes you go: I see why he cheated. But the drug side of the issue... still don´t understand. Some say pressure, stress, etc.. working class regular citizens have even more pressure, stress. Though different, I think normal people have worse stress because if you don´t have the money to pay the bills, you can risk becoming homeless... that is not the main issue with celebrities... I heard a friend say once that these people have done everything possible in life, and are just bored out of their minds, so they resort to drugs... maybe... idk.. would like to see the opinion of a celebrity that has been through this..
Where was his family to protect him and keep eye on his condition, they just show off to collect his money after death.? The family should be shame of themselves to abandon him.
The things fans will say when they see their heroes for who they are. He did it to himself like ALL addicts do. How many times had this dude claimed to be sober? Quit being star stuck 🙄
The difference is he didn’t just buy off of someone who’s out selling drugs on a regular Tuesday. These people were conspiring against him, with complete malicious intent in the hopes this would happen. I dare you to go say that to people at an AA meeting or anywhere else recovering addicts have resided who have been addicts for decades but are now also clean and will never go back. You can get clean and stay clean, recovery is 100% possible. And it’s horrifically sad that he wanted to get clean and stay clean and had these shitty people conspiring against him. He was probably well on his way, it can take a long time. He was over a year sober. I’m not even a fan of Friends, I fucking hate that show lol. But this is tragic and shouldn’t be chalked up to “well it was always bound to happen.” And those people need to be under the ground so they don’t do this to anyone else.
I get the doctors and drug dealers culpability but I do feel sorry for the assistant. He probably wanted to keep his job and there are so many stories about celebs pressuring staff to help facilitate their drug habits. Probably got paid well and relied on guidance of licensed professionals. But even soldiers get prosecuted for executing bad orders. Raw deal for him.
Maybe I’m thinking too much into this, but do we know if Matthew himself even wanted to buy? Like is there evidence that he did? I’m sure that he did because of the texts stating “wonder how much this idiot will buy” or whatever. But I was going to say what if he was just chillin in the hot tub one night and his assistant got him from behind and he didn’t even see it coming?? Idk, something still just seems odd to me.
@@mbg140897 Nooooo we don’t have a lot of info so there’s just all kinds of theories, but if he was getting injected by a doctor we and it should only be used in a hospital setting then it’s via his veins. The doctor had to teach the assistant which means he was teaching him how to find veins with a good supply of water in them.
What kind of assistant shoots up his boss? Unless you are trying to kill someone? Why would you even think or attempt to do to this to this guy after he wrote a book about doctors selling him valium and running out of his room after seeing an empty Vodka bottle? He had a death wish. He did not want to be here in reality.
@@highflyingduck You're the kind of person who makes excuses for drug addicts and enables them even more. Excuses won't solve these addicts' problems, so people need to stop making excuses for them. An enabler is usually a friend or family member of an addict who passively allows or permits their addictive behavior. It can be by lending them money for drugs or by ignoring problematic behavior from the addict, and also by making excuses for them. An enabler does nothing to prevent substance abuse and instead provides excuses that make it easier for that behavior to continue. The addict will have no problem spending your money on drugs, yet has a problem when the money is reallocated to treatment centers or addiction professionals. Saying it is too expensive is not a good excuse. Addiction unfortunately involves dishonesty. Addiction cannot persist without the addict lying to themselves and others around them. It becomes routine to lie to others once you become comfortable with lying to yourself. Your drug of choice is making decisions for you, and it is your top priority. It doesn't matter what it takes to get and use more. When addicts lie, it is to avoid the painful truth that their drinking or drug abuse is no longer in their control. Nobody likes admitting they have lost their willpower or that their willpower isn't enough to stop their addiction, but that's exactly what happens. A lie that addicts often tell themselves is that their behavior isn’t hurting anyone. They don’t want to believe their need to get drunk or high has hurt their children or other loved ones when they aren’t there for them after school, or for other events. They don’t see that their inability to be present with family and friends is hurting others. But no one exists in complete isolation. An individual’s behavior impacts people around them, whether they like it or not. Drug and alcohol abuse hurt family, friends, and coworkers.
Give us a break! The guy was a drug addict. That's the choice he made. It's nobody else's fault but his own. Quit blaming other people for poor choices that these stupid celebrities make on their own. 😡
