Let’s forget for a moment this man was one of the biggest celebrities of the 1990s. He is a human being. Someone’s son. Someone’s brother. For anyone to be used like this is sickening. People took advantage of this man’s weakness to line their pockets. Sickening! Rest In Peace Matt. No one can hurt you anymore. 🙏🏻 🕊 ❤

It’s more of a shame that doctors were behind this and I work in the medical field. Sad and pathetic

[stacyscooby]

So Sad they choose Money and Greed over what's best for Mathew as a patient .

[ron]

so much effort since he was a celeb but they dont do this for the everyday people, sad

[nycava]

This is very upsetting. How low can you be to take advantage of such a vulnerable person? I hope they all rot in jail. RIP dear Matthew 🕊️

Why would you be proud to call yourself “the ketamine queen” ?? 🤦🏼‍♀️

[Littlething]

Sounds like Michael Jackson. Absolutely horrible that people just don't have a conscience.

[helenfong]

BLOOD $$$! It's unbelievable that the assistant of 30 years betrayed Matthew in such a way! If found guilty, 15 years in prison is not long enough.

[Heyyouhello]

All these 5 people MUST be held accountable… This is why it is extremely hard to trust.. Even friends

[stacyfabiszewski]

Justice Must be Served For our Friend Matty Perry I'm still so Sad over this

[malley]

But, if they had refused his requests he would have found another group of willing providers. How can an educated doctor throw away one’s whole career for an addict. Such a shame.

[katevans]

That’s just so sad and unbelievable 😔😔😔

[deborahvillanueva]

What makes his overdose any different than any of the other drug over doeses here in the United States.

[salinaspride]

Horrible. Rip mathew. He was apart of my childhood and adult hood 😢

[GoldiLoxxxxx]

The personal assistance should NOT be held liable. The power dynamic ought to be considered. That guy would’ve been fired otherwise for sure. It’s a complete imbalance of power.

Embarrassment to the medical profession, GREED.

[andytrieu]

If he were poor, he would most likely be here today, but money has killed him

[bYtealiEnSzen]

Greed and self-enrichment are common behavioral drivers

[solannyandrea]

Ummmmb I'm sorry but he definitely made the choice to put that stuff in his body.

[AvtarSingh-nnbr]

Government should have medication price rules so they don't have to sell the medication from $12 to $2000.
