Earlier this month, it was revealed that Brooke Mueller was questioned by the LAPD about her history with Matthew Perry as part of the investigation into his death on October 28th at age 54. She was not charged in connection with his ketamine overdose.
Perry reportedly met Mueller, 47, in rehab “a couple of times,” but their relationship extended beyond the treatment center, with sporadic communication to exchange the names of physicians who had access to certain prescriptions.
“Matthew was a friend who would ask her for favors. And Matthew was relentless. That’s what an addict is,” a source told Us Weekly. “She was a pawn to Matthew. They didn’t go to dinner or hang out. He was isolated even from friends and family.”
The source added that Perry and Mueller had been trading information on doctors for years, implying that these doctors were more liberal when it came to prescribing medications.
The insider suggested that Mueller “would give him names of potentially questionable doctors,” but noted that it was usually Perry who initiated contact.
“Typically, Matthew was the one to reach out to her, not the other way around. It was usually a random text or FaceTime.”
Although he was “isolated” from his loved ones leading up to his death, the relationship between the two actors became such a concern that “people in his life tried to prevent him from reaching out to her.”
