ActorMatthew Perry tragically died in October 2023 at 54 years old.
One friend of Perry’s questioned during the investigationwas Brooke Mueller.

“She’s being tight-lipped about the situation.”
Mueller also reportedly was firm that she didn’t contribute to Matthew’s death.
The insider also explained how the stars met and became friendly.

“They met in rehab …
It was an unexpected friendship, but they leaned on each other,” the source said.
An insider spoke toUs Weeklyin August 2024 about what their friendship outside of rehab was reportedly like.

“Matthew was a friend who would ask her for favors.
And Matthew was relentless.
That’s what an addict is,' the source said.
“She was a pawn to Matthew.
They didn’t go to dinner or hang out.
He was isolated even from friends and family.”
However, they also said that Perry was usually the one who would contact Mueller every so often.
“People in his life tried to prevent him from reaching out to her,” they continued.
A source forTMZsaid Mueller, Perry, and Jasveen Sangha were all in rehab together once.
Sangha is nicknamed “The Ketamine Queen” and is one of the defendants in the Perry case.
Mueller was also reportedly good friends with Erik Fleming, one of the defendants who pleaded guilty.
The “Witchouse” actor was not accused of anything related to Perry’s death.
