Matthew Perry met ‘Ketamine Queen’ Jasveen Sangha in a place that makes it more bizarre
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Charges have finally been brought in the case related to Matthew Perry’s death, with the police arresting five people including the ‘Ketamine Queen’ Jasveen Sangha.
While it has often been speculated that the Ketamine Queen, who is charged with supplying Perry with large doses of the drug, met the ‘FRIENDS’ actor while in rehab. However, recently, details related to their meeting came to the fore, which can be said unsettling in the least.
Matthew Perry and Jasveen Sangha met at rehabilitation center
On Friday, August 16, TMZ‘s Harvey Levin and Dr Drew Pinsky sat for a televised interview with Chris Cuomo for CUOMO on NewsNation.
Levin shared during the interview that they have known from their outlet’s sources that the ‘17 Again’ actor whose tragic death on October 28 was ruled to have happened due to “acute effects of ketamine” met with the drug queen during a stint at a Los Angeles rehab.
He shared that as per his sources, Sangha and Perry were in the same rehab facility not before the actor’s passing, where they met and connected.
Levin further elaborated on the horror that many susceptible rich people are getting targeted by such vicious networks of people who peddle drugs. Levin shared that these networks even include doctors who distribute drugs to rich clients to make profits.
Levin indicated during the interview, “This is not just about Matthew Perry. There is a network of doctors and others who are funneling drugs to people with means.”
He added as a caution, “A lot of these people meet in rehab!” Moreover, he hinted that often these addictions spiral out of control, resulting in tragic deaths like Perry’s.
He continued in his speech, “This is a serious problem that tragically happened to Matthew Perry, but goes way beyond him.”
Even Doctor Pinsky too shared his thoughts on the matter, while hypothesizing that the two defendants who have not pled guilty or agreed to a plea deal may try to concoct a tale that Perry’s death was unintentional and negligent, per Perez Hilton.
He explained, “Somebody may use this [as] a defense in court, which is awful, because it doesn’t make it any less outrageous that he was given extraordinary amounts of clearly dangerous drugs. This was a customer. They didn’t want him to die.”
It has also been reported that during the ill-fated rehab stay when Perry met with the “ketamine queen,” Perry’s friend and Charlie Sheen’s ex Brooke Mueller was also there.
Previously, a source revealed to TMZ that Mueller was acquainted with Sangha, who maintained a stash house in North Hollywood, and sold the drug to Perry.
