Bill Maher Rips Into Matthew Perry’s ‘Enabler’ Doctors
Bill Maher took aim at the doctors linked to Matthew Perry’s death on Friday night’s episode of Real Time With Bill Maher.
“Doctors killed Matthew Perry,” the host said during the “New Rules” segment of his talk show. “... Matthew Perry asked his doctor, ‘Is ketamine right for me?’ And his licensed and trained legitimate doctor texted another doctor and wrote, ‘I wonder how much this moron will pay… Let’s find out.’”
Hours before Maher’s show, one of the two physicians charged in the Friends star’s October 2023 death pleaded guilty to conspiring to distribute the surgical anesthetic ketamine. Dr. Mark Chavez also agreed to surrender his medical license. The other medical practitioner, Dr. Salvador Plasencia, maintains his innocence and is expected to appear in court on Sept. 4.
