Matthew Perry’s Ex Discloses a ‘Horrific’ Incident While the Actor Battled Drug Addiction


Kayti Edwards, Matthew Perry’s ex-wife, revealed sad steps the late actor made to stop using drugs.

Edwards, 47, began dating the Friends star in 2006 after meeting him at an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, but they remained pals and Edwards even worked as his assistant in 2011.

In an interview with The UK Sun, Edwards revealed that he once superglued his hands so he wouldn’t take narcotics.

“I was at Matthew’s place in the Hollywood Hills. He was in a bad way,” she remembered. “He had been getting high all night on a plethora of drugs, most likely crack cocaine and other substances.”

“I found Matthew on the couch with his hands superglued to his legs — it was desperately sad. I had to use nail polish remover and olive oil to free him,” she continued.

Edwards described how she had to “literally rip the hair from his legs and he had red, raw patches left behind, it was pretty horrific.”

In October, the 17 Again actor, 54, was discovered dead in his California home’s hot tub. According to the autopsy report, he died as a result of the “acute effects” of ketamine.
