Brooke Mueller, Charlie Sheen’s ex, played a part in the investigation into Matthew Perry’s death. The probe led to arrests on August 15, 2024, involving individuals connected to Perry’s drug use. Mueller, although implicated, was not charged. Details of their relationship have now come to light, revealing that their connection was more transactional than friendly.
Sources told Us Weekly that Perry and Mueller had a history but only reconnected in rehab. Perry would ask Mueller for favors related to his drug use, portraying her as a mere pawn in his endeavors. They were not social companions and mainly exchanged information on obtaining prescriptions for narcotics, with Perry initiating most of the interactions.
A search of Mueller’s residence in June by authorities raised suspicions, but her involvement in Perry’s death was not as significant as initially assumed.
Differences in Drug Use Between Matthew Perry and Brooke Mueller
Mueller’s questioning by authorities led to public scrutiny, but Sheen’s attorney defended her, stating she was not facing any charges related to Perry’s death. Mueller, known for her past substance abuse issues, had a long-standing friendship with Perry but was not involved in his preferred drug, ketamine.
Reports indicated Perry and Mueller’s friendship spanned over two decades, and while Perry had a preference for ketamine, Mueller did not use the same drugs. Mueller’s past struggles with substance abuse were made public in 2019, but she took steps to address her issues by seeking treatment. Her focus was on recovery and wellness during that time.
