Hey OK! Substackers…
Matthew Perry has been gone for three years, but one of his most outspoken critics apparently isn’t ready to let their feud rest.
British journalist Peter Hitchens is doubling down on his controversial belief that the Friends star, who died in October 2023 at 54, might still be alive if he’d simply listened to him.
Yes, really.
The bad blood dates back to a heated 2013 appearance on BBC’s Newsnight, when Perry was campaigning for specialist drug courts to help people battling addiction.
Perry argued addiction was a disease. Hitchens insisted overcoming it came down to personal willpower.
Things got ugly fast.
