Matthew Perry's ex says 'things aren't adding up' about his death
The ex-girlfriend of Friends actor Matthew Perry has claimed things are not “adding up” about his death. Perry’s ex Kayti Edwards is a former model and the step-granddaughter of iconic British actress Julie Andrews. She and Perry reportedly dated in 2006 and in a recent interview, she opened up about the star’s untimely death after the 54-year-old was found unresponsive in a hot tub at his home in Los Angeles on 28 October. Edwards pointed to Perry’s most recent Instagram post before his death, referencing a hot tub, which could suggest he was “not sober” when he died because he “had a thing with water” when he was on drugs. Perry had been very open about his struggle with addiction and, in a BBC Radio 2 interview revealed there were several whole seasons of the show he has no recollection of filming because he was “out of it”. The actor estimated that he’d spent $9 million on sobriety and said in 2021 that he was sober. But, Edwards claimed that “things aren’t adding up” with the circumstances surrounding Perry’s death. Speaking to The Sun, she said: “I know Matthew and I know that he wouldn’t have just drowned. I think he might have taken pills in the week leading up to this.” Initial toxicology reports found there was no meth or fentanyl in Perry’s system at the time of his death and only prescription drugs were found at his home. Edwards added: “He was paranoid and would take them all, so there wasn’t any evidence, and then go out for more when he was ready to.” In his last Instagram post, Perry referred to himself as “Mattman” – a clue that Edwards believes suggests he wasn’t sober. “That Mattman thing was not something he did when he was sober. Mattman would come out when he was not sober and he felt kind of invincible,” Edwards said. “I was around when he was getting high, although I was not getting high with him, and when I would say maybe he should cool it a little bit with the drugs, he would say, ‘No, I’m Mattman.’” Perry’s funeral took place on 8 November and was attended by all of his Friends co-stars who paid tribute to him.

Jennifer Lawrence shares horrific aftermath of viral Hot Ones interview
Jennifer Lawrence has shared the rather grim aftermath of her Hot Ones interview that went viral for all the wrong reasons. The actor was almost reduced to tears as she fought her way through the rounds of spicy chicken wings - but even when the cameras stopped rolling, the effects didn't. “I passionately threw up after. Violently,” Lawrence told Andy Cohen. “I made it upstairs to my suite. My holding suite. We shot at the Four Seasons downstairs." She added: “My stomach gave me, like, eight minutes to get upstairs and then she… She… [vomited].” Click here to sign up for our newsletters.

Caroline Flack’s mum gives poignant message to Phillip Schofield in Newsnight interview
The mother of the late ITV presenter Caroline Flack has given her thoughts on the ongoing scandal surrounding the former This Morning host Phillip Schofield, after the broadcaster said he understood “how [she] felt” amid “relentless” media criticism of his affair with a younger male colleague. Schofield quit the popular ITV daytime show in May, before releasing a statement in which he confirmed he had a “consensual on-off relationship” which was “unwise, but not illegal”. In his first broadcast interview since issuing these comments, carried out by the BBC’s media editor Amol Rajan, the broadcaster said he has “lost everything”. “My girls saved my life… Last week, they haven’t left me for a moment. They’ve been by my side every moment, because they’re scared to let me out of their sight," Schofield said. “They said to me, ‘don’t you dare do this on our watch. We’re supposed to be looking after you.’ “If my girls hadn’t been there, I wouldn’t be here, because I don’t see a future. And so how much do you want a man to take? “And this is how Caroline Flack felt, and it didn’t stop.” Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Flack quit ITV2’s reality show Love Island in December 2019 after facing an assault charge over an altercation with her boyfriend. She died by suicide two months later amid intense criticism online and in the press. Now, after Schofield referenced her daughter’s experience in his BBC interview, Caroline Flack’s mother Christine spoke to Newsnight and confirmed she does “feel worried for him” amid the “relentless” comments around the scandal. After presenter Victoria Derbyshire read Schofield’s remarks to Ms Flack, she replied: “That’s exactly how she felt. Everyday, she’d try and be a little bit stronger, which I imagine Phillip is, and you get more and more thrown at you. “He knew Caroline, and I must say when she died he was very upset, and I think he’s now realising even more what she went through. But until it happens to you, you feel sad, but you don’t understand.” Asked what her message to Schofield would be, Ms Flack added: “I hope they’ll get over this, and they will. They will. “Don’t do anything silly. You’ve got your daughters, you’ve got your friends.“ Ms Flack has since been commended online for her comments on social media. In his lengthy interview with the BBC, Schofield also said the fact the scandal has become “so massive” is “predominantly homophobic”, and that he is a “victim of hate”.
