What are people saying about Perry’s assistant?

Iwamasa’s involvement has spurred discourse questioning whether he’s a victim of some sort. One insider told Vanity Fair, “When I heard Perry’s assistant was arrested, I thought, But that guy was following the orders of his boss … To be honest, I might have done the same thing.” One assistant described the extreme pressures that they faced in their jobs and said following Perry’s death, they asked themselves what they would do in the same position. “There were seven of us at dinner. Four of us said we would have probably done it. Three said they hoped they would have established a boundary earlier, before it got to that point,” this source said. Some in the assistant world didn’t feel torn about the situation at all, however. Brian Daniel, who coordinates celebrity assistant jobs, described the situation as the “deepest betrayal that I can possibly think of.”

The use of the nickname “Ketamine Queen” to refer to the woman charged in connection to Matthew Perry’s ketamine overdose has sparked a legal debate.

While the move was “strategic,” the inclusion of the nickname “risks unfairly prejudicing the jury,” Duncan Levin, Harvey Weinstein’s former defense attorney, told Fox News Digital.

Jasveen Sangha, referred to as the “Ketamine Queen” in multiple court documents related to the case, was charged with one count of conspiracy to distribute ketamine. She was also charged with one count of maintaining a drug-involved premises, one count of possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine, one count of possession with intent to distribute ketamine and five counts of distribution of ketamine.

“My client never met Matthew Perry, has nothing to do with Matthew Perry and all the supposed rumors otherwise are just that, urban legend,” Mark Geragos, Sangha’s lawyer, told ABC7.

Geragos criticized the U.S. Attorney’s Office for using “Ketamine Queen” to refer to Sangha in the indictment.

“I admire the cleverness of it,” he said. “I don’t think it has any place in an indictment.”
