The tragic passing of Matthew Perry, beloved actor known for his role as Chandler Bing in the iconic sitcom Friends, left fans devastated and mourning around the globe. While Perry had battled addiction and alcohol abuse throughout his life, recent rumors have emerged that could potentially tarnish his legacy.
Perry’s untimely death at the age of 54 occurred on October 28, 2023, when he was found dead in a hot tub at his Los Angeles home. This heartbreaking event led to an outpouring of grief from the entertainment industry and beyond. Perry’s final resting place, Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Los Angeles, became a site of commemoration, with his Friends co-stars in attendance to bid farewell. 
In the wake of Perry’s passing, the majority of tributes focused on his well-documented struggle with substance abuse. Despite his past challenges, Perry had claimed to be sober in the 18 months leading up to his death. The initial toxicology report revealed no presence of drugs such as fentanyl or methamphetamine. Instead, his demise was determined to be an accident resulting from the acute effects of ketamine, a powerful anesthetic found in his system.
One year prior to his death, Perry penned his memoir, Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing, which chronicled his lifelong battle with addiction. Within the book, he referred to a woman named Morgan Moses under the pseudonym Erin. Perry credited Moses as his “best friend” and recounted how she had saved his life after his colon burst.
However, explosive allegations have now emerged, challenging the perception many had of Perry. An insider revealed to the Daily Mail that Perry and Moses had parted ways a year prior to the memoir’s publication. The source went on to claim that during a moment of emotional turmoil, Perry had acted violently towards Moses, pushing her into a wall and throwing her onto a bed.
The same source also alleged that Perry’s relationship with his ex-fiancée, Molly Hurwitz, had ended in a bitter fight. It was purported that the argument had erupted when Hurwitz discovered a romantic gift Perry had purchased for someone he had met on a dating app. According to the insider, Perry responded by throwing a coffee table at Hurwitz and berating her, driven by his fear of abandonment.
These revelations, if proven true, present a contrasting image to the world and loved ones who knew Perry as a kind-hearted and talented actor. While his battle with addiction had been widely acknowledged, the extent of his alleged abusive behavior towards women could cast a shadow over his memory.
