The tragic death of Matthew Perry has taken another twist as new revelations and legal investigations come to light. Brooke Mueller, Charlie Sheen's ex-wife, has been questioned by authorities multiple times in connection with Perry's fatal overdose. This new development brings to the forefront a history that intertwines the lives of Perry, Mueller, and Perry's former partner, Kayti Edwards.
According to Edwards, who was once Perry's assistant, she and Mueller both had romantic entanglements with the late Friends star around the same time in 2006. "Brooke dated Matthew in 2006, at around the time I first started hanging out with Matthew," Edwards revealed. They met through Alcoholics Anonymous, not in rehab as some might have thought.
"She and I were seeing him at the same time; it was kind of like this thing, like: 'Are you going out with Brooke tonight?'" Edwards described their casual dating arrangement, noting that their relationships were more about companionship than public romance.
These details come as Mueller faces intense scrutiny from law enforcement. Authorities have questioned her about Perry's death, which was attributed to the "acute effects of ketamine," with drowning being a contributing factor. Perry was undergoing ketamine infusion therapy, a treatment for depression and anxiety, at the time of his death.
"She's hired lawyers and has had multiple meetings with law enforcement since they arrived at her sober living house with a search warrant," an insider disclosed. Despite the investigations, Mueller has not been arrested and has maintained her innocence.
The relationship between Perry and Mueller, as described by Edwards, was part of a larger narrative involving Perry's battles with addiction and his attempts at recovery. Edwards, who worked closely with Perry, noted that Mueller was part of a brief but significant period in Perry's life. "It was probably a three-month thing because that's what him and I were. Him and Brooke and me and he never went out publicly and looked romantic, it was always in his house."
Mueller's connections to Perry have brought renewed attention to her past, including her struggles with substance abuse and her tumultuous marriage to Charlie Sheen. Mueller's history with Sheen, marked by allegations of domestic abuse and her own stints in rehab, adds another layer to the complex web surrounding Perry's final days.
Perry's death in October 2023 shocked fans worldwide. He was found unresponsive in his hot tub at his Los Angeles home. An autopsy revealed high levels of ketamine in his system, leading to questions about how he obtained the drug. The Los Angeles Police Department, in collaboration with the DEA and U.S. Postal Inspector, launched an investigation to trace the source of the ketamine. "There is an ongoing investigation into where Matthew got the ketamine that ended up playing a part in his death," sources told TMZ.
Mueller's involvement in the investigation has sparked speculation about her role and whether she might have provided Perry with the drug. However, she has vehemently denied any involvement. "It's tough to say or know exactly what her role is [in Perry's death], but she's adamant she had nothing to do with that," an insider stated.
Perry's history with addiction is well-documented. In his memoir, Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing, he detailed his struggles with alcohol and drugs, revealing that he spent millions on rehab and recovery efforts. Despite his claims of sobriety, sources close to Perry suggested he continued to battle his demons, relying on casual hookups and old acquaintances to procure drugs.
