Some of the distressing details about Matthew Perry that have come out in the wake of his death include a source's claim that he allegedly physically pushed Morgan Moses, his long-time sober companion, during a confrontation over his drug use, per Us Weekly. A source also alleged Perry had emotionally abused a former girlfriend, who went so far as to consider filing a lawsuit against him for it. Another unnamed source told the Daily Mail that Perry threw a coffee table at his fiance Molly Hurwitz in 2021 during an argument over the end of their relationship.
On social media, people are calling out reports of the allegations due to their timing. One person posted on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, in reply to the Daily Mail: "Why is this just coming out now? You just trying to smear his name after he died! He's not even here anymore to defend himself!"
Others just seemed to lament the overall situation. One said, "Addicts lie, abuse and do horrendous things to those they love ... Very sad." Another wrote of the allegations: "If this is true, it is common of addiction. Doesn't change a thing for me. Give some grace and chalk it up to we are all complex humans. Let it be — Let him rest in peace."
