Late star Matthew Perry’s ex-girlfriend said he “always had major drug problems.” Perry, who battled addiction to alcohol and drugs for a number of years, was found dead in his hot tub on October 28 at the age of 54.
The actor’s former flame Kayti Edwards has alleged that when they were together, his addiction was always on his mind even after he had got clean, as she recalled some of the drastic things she had done to help him. “I was at Matthew’s place in the Hollywood Hills. He was in a bad way. He had been getting high all night on a plethora of drugs, most likely crack, cocaine and other substances,” she told an international publication. “I found Matthew on the couch with his hands superglued to his legs. I had to use nail polish remover and olive oil to free him. We were literally ripping the hair from his legs and he had red, raw patches left behind. It was pretty horrific. Matthew always had major drug problems. Even when he was clean and going through rehab, he was still thinking about taking drugs.”
