Keith Morrison, the suave stepdad of the late “Friends” star Matthew Perry, is finally making some noise about the whole “who’s been arrested for what?” drama. Keith, who’s basically been the coolest step-parent since he married Matthew’s mom Suzanne in 1981, has four kids with her—so he’s practically been part of the Friends cast himself!
Here’s the scoop: On August 15th, U.S. Attorney Martin Estrada dropped a bombshell, revealing that five individuals, including Matthew’s ex-assistant and two doctors, were nabbed and slapped with federal charges related to Matthew’s death. Yes, you heard it right—a whole posse of people have been charged! It’s like a courtroom episode of “Friends,” except no one’s getting a happy ending right now.
Keith, in his infinite wisdom and charm, decided it was time to weigh in. His statement to NBC News was as heartfelt as it was diplomatic: “We were and still are heartbroken by Matthew’s death,” Keith said, probably with the gravity of a Shakespearean actor. “But it’s comforting to know that law enforcement has turned his case into a real-life whodunit.”
He went on to add, “We’re just sitting on the edge of our seats waiting for justice to waltz in.” So, basically, he’s got popcorn ready and is gearing up for the courtroom drama.
Matthew, who left us too soon at the age of 54 in October 2023, passed away from the “acute effects of ketamine.” So while Keith and the Perry clan are navigating this legal labyrinth, let’s hope justice delivers a plot twist worthy of a great sitcom episode. Stay tuned for more updates in this wild real-life drama!
