A “Ring” of Exploitation: Everything We Know On Matthew Perry’s Overdose Saga

[@bumberClart1000]

Evil abusers who zoomed in on his weakness. What are we to do with them?

[@Leon-k5f6i]

He was an addict not a victim he paid for it used it knew it was dangerous and illegal he was no victim

Easily the best character and actor in Friends. We all have demons, everybody.

[@Tiny-j3s]

That's right but we also have to stop making excuses, time for ppl to own up for their actions, stop being a victim, we are turning into a week, mentally ill, pathetic society.

[@laurakilleen453]

He had no chance of making it when the medical profession was against it. It's truly shocking.

[@anne-marieriamitchell1140]

He was in a very vulnerable state. It’s so sad and he was still taking blockers to stop opioids giving him a high so sad

Whatever happened to "First, do no harm."

[@rather_be_a_cat]

It's been replaced with "First, fill your bank" It is America after all.

He was a drug addict as was I. He wanted to continue to wallow in misery and never took the pain of recovery. Its his own fault, end of. If you want to blame anyone, blame the gangsters. Oh wait, they are glorified in movies, worshipped by many, they bring the misery in, as well as prostitution. BLAME THEM

[@Tiny-j3s]

Frankly said. Hollywood is evil, and we must stop worshipping it!

He was going to speak out on you no what

Maybe the doctors who clearly had disdain for MP decided to up his dose over a certain period of time, to get him more and more hooked on it, so he would pay more. That seems more likely than MP lauding over doctors and insisting on getting higher and higher doses ''or else'' he would idk, laud his celebrity hammer and off everyone or something. That whole 'power dynamic' of celebrities over doctors in this case seems very off to me. MP had been addicted to much more addictive drugs before, he would've known that with his past this would be a risky treatment for his depression and other addictions, but he put his life into the hands of doctors to keep him safe whilst on this treatment, not to repeatedly up the dose until he became a junkie again and ODed, tf. I don't think MP had any hand in this, he asked for help from doctors who took advantage of him and he was murdered by them, that's how it looks to me.

Where is the personal responsibility in this? Again it is all the victimhood on the Hollywood person who wanted the drugs and actively looked for it. We should stop having pity for drug addicts. It doesn't help them at all. On the contrary....

[@anne-marieriamitchell1140]

He did so well with his addiction yes he was an addict but he tried so hard

[@robinreed2545]

Michael Jackson had lingering pain from his head catching on fire filming a Pepsi commercial

[@JasonClark-e3f]

Don't be ridiculous

[@athenasloan146]

He was an addict. If these people didn't provide him with what he wanted, he would have getting it somewhere else.

[@lwwelding8466]

Always someone else to blame. He sign his death wish the moment he got into drugs

[@edwardcatton1047]

we told him slow down!, you'll end up like Belushi & Candy?, he said!, those guys are my Hero's that all fine & dandy? ( Adam Sandler! ) on Chris Farley?, HELP HELP!, my Brother!, is dying right out here?, at the Viper Room! ( Joaqin Phoenix! ) on his older brother!, R.I.P RF!, CF!, Heath Ledger!, Phillip Seymour Hoffman!, not 1 arrest?.
