“I wonder how much this moron will pay”: Plasencia mocked Matthew Perry in texts while allegedly supplying him $4,500 worth of ketamine before his death

​

Matthew Perry, best known for playing Chandler Bing on Friends, died in October 2023 at the age of 54. His sudden death shocked fans around the world. At the time, many people knew that Perry had struggled with addiction in the past, but they didn’t know the full story of what may have happened in his final days.

Now, nearly two years later, disturbing details have come to light. According to prosecutors, a woman named Lisa Plasencia, a doctor’s assistant in Los Angeles, is being accused of illegally giving Perry large amounts of ketamine—a powerful drug often used for pain or depression. Not only that, but she also reportedly mocked him in private text messages just days before he died.

Matthew Perry was found unresponsive at his home in Los Angeles in October 2023. After an investigation, officials confirmed that he died from the “acute effects of ketamine.” This means that a high level of ketamine in his body caused his death. Ketamine is sometimes used in medical treatments for depression, but it can be very dangerous when misused or taken in large amounts.

Perry had reportedly received ketamine treatments in the past, as part of mental health therapy. But at the time of his death, the amount in his body was much higher than what would be expected from a medical dose. This raised serious questions about where the drug came from and how he got it.

Who is Lisa Plasencia?

Lisa Plasencia is a physician assistant based in Los Angeles. According to court documents, she is now facing federal charges. Investigators say that Plasencia was not Perry’s official doctor, yet she gave him ketamine outside of legal treatment settings. She is accused of delivering about $4,500 worth of the drug to him before he died.

Plasencia is also accused of giving ketamine to others in Hollywood and using fake patient records to cover her tracks. She is being charged with “distribution of a controlled substance resulting in death,” which is a very serious crime. If found guilty, she could face many years in prison.

The text messages that shocked investigators

One of the most upsetting parts of the case involves Plasencia’s text messages. According to prosecutors, just a few days before Perry’s death, she sent messages to someone mocking him. In one message, she wrote,

“I wonder how much this moron will pay.” In another, she added, “He can’t even tell he’s high.”

These texts suggest that she didn’t take Perry’s safety seriously and was more interested in making money.

The messages were found during the investigation, and they have become a key part of the case. They show a lack of care and responsibility, especially when dealing with someone who had a known history of addiction.

A long history of addiction and recovery

Matthew Perry was open about his struggles with addiction. He had written a memoir, Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing, where he talked in detail about his battles with alcohol and prescription drugs. He also shared how he had spent years in and out of rehab, and how hard it was to stay sober.

Despite everything, Perry often said he wanted to help others who were going through the same problems. He even opened a sober living house to support men recovering from addiction. That’s why news of his death was so heartbreaking—many believed he had made it through the worst.

What happens next?

Right now, the legal case against Lisa Plasencia is ongoing. She has not yet been convicted, but the evidence being shared by prosecutors is serious. They claim she supplied ketamine to Perry illegally and then joked about it while he was struggling. The case will likely continue to develop in the coming months.

Many fans are still mourning Perry’s loss. The new details have brought fresh pain, but they have also sparked conversations about how celebrities and others receive medical treatments for mental health and addiction. People are now calling for stricter rules and more accountability.
