It’s been a year since “Friends” star Matthew Perry was found unresponsive in the hot tub of his Los Angeles home. He died on Oct. 28, 2023, after an afternoon of playing pickleball and retreating to his house overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
His loved ones, who witnessed his drug and alcohol abuse for years, were heartbroken by what his mother later described as an unavoidable outcome.
“There was an inevitability to what was going to happen next to him,” Suzanne Perry told the “TODAY” show’s Savannah Guthrie.
His mother spoke about processing her grief and teared up when talking about how powerless one can feel against a loved one’s struggles with addiction.
“You’ve got to stop blaming yourself, because it tears you up,” she said.
