While there are a lot of things that friends would do for other friends, there aren’t a lot of friends that would do this for this particular ‘Friend.’ There’s a new report that says Friends star Matthew Perry apparently paid his pregnant ex-girlfriend to score drugs at the height of his addiction and abuse nearly a decade ago. Here’s what you need to know.
According to Page Six, Kayti Edwards, who was Matthew Perry’s girlfriend back in the early 2000s, told The Sun that the television actor had a particular rough patch back in 2011. As many fans can recall, he had two stints in rehab, both in 2007 and 2011.
Matthew Perry’s Addiction And Abuse Was So Bad He Had His Pregnant Ex Score Drugs For Him
She told the site, “I was like five months pregnant going down and getting stuff for him. He [would say], ‘No one’s going to pull over a pregnant girl. Don’t worry.’”
She went on to say that her very famous ex-boyfriend would set up drug deals for her to pick up his stash.
“We’d open the bag, sometimes it was pills, cocaine, sometimes it would be heroin and crack, it was just like a smorgasbord, you never knew what you were going to get,” Kayti Edwards told the paper.
Kayti went on to say that at the time she thought she was doing Matthew a favor as she didn’t want him being seen roaming around the streets or worse, getting caught by the paparazzi buying drugs.
“I look back and think, ‘What kind of friend was I?’ [But] I wanted to help him,” she said. “He’d give me this guilt trip like, ‘If you don’t get me this I’m just gonna go there myself and walk downtown’. I was like, ‘No, no, no, I’ll just do it for you’ because I didn’t want him in his state of mind to A, be driving, and B, be wandering around the streets… It was kind of weird, our relationship turned toxic. I couldn’t say no.”
If that weren’t enough, Matthew was paying Kayti for her work, too.
“I was making all this money,” she told the Sun. “I just had to drive, pick it up, bring it to him, boom, sometimes three times a day, sometimes I made like $3,000-$4,000 a day. He would always say to me, ‘Money is no object’. I was like, ‘Oh my God.’”
