According to reports, The late actor Perry was still smoking drugs when he wrote his sobriety memoir, “Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing.”
The “Friends” star has claimed in the book that he realized after spending several million dollars over the years, trying to kick the habit.
However, it turns out Perry was lying about his sobriety and had a special way of getting drugs into his $6 million Pacific Palisades home despite having both a 24/7 team of nurses and a sober life companion on hand.
“He would meet girls on dating apps and ask them to come over. There were a lot of 21 to 25-year-olds he would meet on Raya. They would bring drugs with them,” a source said of Perry’s alleged antics.
They added, “It’s mostly Oxycontin [a powerful opioid pain killer]. He would also get illicit drugs from old girlfriends, there was some sort of network.”

As for how the women were able to sneak in the drugs, insiders shared that they were able to do so because they were not harassed before entering the actor’s house.
“When a nurse or friend is in someone’s home, they don’t have the same permission as inside [rehab] institution. They cannot stop visitors for drugs,” an insider revealed to Dailymail.
It’s also claimed that Perry would tell the girls that he “needs drugs to treat his pain” as a way to reassure them, and when he “fired” her, he just moved on to the next person.
According to the source, Perry has never “never been able to maintain any kind of long-term sobriety,” as examples of her being “put together and fine” are “followed by moments of weakness and consumption.”

Eventually, an overdose of one of the drugs he took led to his death. The actor was found unresponsive in his hot tub on October 28, which initially led to speculation that he had died of drowning.
However, after the autopsy was released, it was confirmed that drowning was only a secondary factor, as he had very high levels of ketamine in his body at the time of his death.
The amount of ketamine detected “would be enough to render him unconscious and lose his posture and his ability to keep himself above water,” said medical toxicologist Andrew Stolbach in an interview with The Associated Press, per ABC.
He added, “Using sedatives in a pool or hot tub, especially when you’re alone, is very risky, and, unfortunately, here, it’s deadly.”

Perry’s autopsy revealed that he eventually developed an addiction to ketamine despite initially using it for therapeutic purposes.
According to documents obtained by Explosion, the actor’s last recommended use of ketamine was 1.5 weeks before his death. It was also mentioned that the amount found at the time of his death could not have been obtained from the treatment because ketamine’s half-life is usually under four hours.
The exact method by which he continued to use his substance beyond the recommended therapeutic dose to treat depression remains unclear.
According to sources, Perry never intended to lie about her sobriety in her memoir when she wrote it. They claim that he did so to convince himself that he could overcome his demons.
An insider shared: “I think with [his memoir]Matthew thought it would help him get to where he was describing.”
“He writes about what he expects to be the situation as if he were already there. He’s writing the script he wants.”
