A previous report about Jennifer Aniston sending her Friends co-star, Matthew Perry, to rehab has resurfaced, and gossip tabloids are teaming up to debunk this false rumor.
The report was found to be completely fictional and unsupported by any facts. However, there have been a lot of variations to this falsified report, and the details have become completely altered at some point. Here are a handful of the circulating untrue rumors.
Early this year, a questionable source reported that Aniston as well as the other Friends cast members were becoming increasingly concerned about Perry's wellbeing and his commitment to staying sober.
The report was posted and shared over and over on social media sites, just after the actor had been spotted roaming the streets of New York City with a thoroughly unkempt and disheveled appearance.
The source also added that it was no surprise that the actor's closest friends from the set of the American sitcom were intervening and pushing him to get back into rehab after he had recently took to his Twitter account to announce that he had been kicked out. Aniston is also supposedly the one leading the charge in their gang's pursuit to ensure Perry's sobriety.
Another phony source also revealed that Aniston was apparently recruiting her ex-husband, Brad Pitt, to join forces in trying to get Perry sober and back on track. This report came out just after news that Perry had been hospitalized and had allegedly gone through surgery due to gastrointestinal perforation.
Moreover, the report also claimed that the aforementioned health issue Perry had been suffering through was caused by his substance abuse, even though there was nothing that could suggest his addiction had caused it.
The source also attested that Aniston was pushing for Pitt to reach out to Perry to help him gain more sense of control over his addiction, since Pitt himself has been sober for a long time now. However, the whole scenario was proven to be entirely fabricated by the unreliable source, as per the actress' representative.
Perry's own spokesperson has already released a statement confirming that all these allegations are untrue. The actor has indeed been open about his struggle to overcome his substance abuse and his journey in rehab, but the rumors about him falling off the wagon are completely false.
As for the matter of being kicked out of rehab, the actor further tweeted in order to clarify that he was not kicked out of the institution he was checked in, just kicked out for "one session" for a day, but was now "back in therapy." Perry's rep has since branded the story "ridiculous."
