Matthew Perry’s ex and former assistant, Kayti Edwards, revealed that the late Friends alum told her and vowed that he would never use “needles” to inject drugs because of his fear of the apparatus.
Contrary to the claim, the results of a federal investigation into Perry’s death revealed that the actor had been injected with ketamine at least 21 times during the last week of his life.
“This is the weird thing to me … Matthew always, always told me that he would never, ever use needles or inject anything into his body,” Edwards told the Mirror in an interview published Friday.
“He didn’t even want to have tattoos,” she revealed.
Edwards also shared how she would “often see [Perry] very high and using lots of different drugs,” which “scared” her because she warned him about the consequences of mixing substances, and how it can kill him.
“But he was like, ‘You only die when you use needles … and I would never, ever, ever do that,’” she reiterated.
Edwards, who claims she and Perry remained friends up until his death last October at age 54, and the Whole Nine Yards star dated in 2006 and then also worked for him as an assistant in 2011.
