New Matthew Perry documentary to expose secret Hollywood drug ring’s dark truth: When and where to watch

Friends actor Matthew Perry filled countless lives with laughs and sparks of joy, all thanks to his iconic persona as the fictional Chandler Bing. His death, however, cast a dark cloud of wishful thinking and what-ifs last October. A post-mortem examination eventually determined his demise was linked to a high concentration of the drug ketamine in his blood.

In August 2024, five co-conspirators, including two doctors, were charged in connection with the actor’s fatal overdose. This notorious lot included Jasveen Sangha – “The Ketamine Queen” of North Hollywood, Dr Salvador Plasencia, Dr Mark Chavez, Erik Fleming and Perry’s longtime live-in assistant Kenneth Iwamasa. The sinister web established by the quintet ultimately cost the Hollywood star his life. Perry had been publicly candid about his substance abuse history and detailed his relationship with addiction in the memoir, “Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing.”

But with doctors involved in the elaborate scheme to exploit the actor, Perry’s case further flashed a brighter spotlight on the rampant secret Hollywood drug ring, ruining who knows how many lives.
