Matthew Perry's Mom Suzanne Morrison Condemns His Assistant’s Actions in Gut-Wrenching Letter
Suzanne Morrison said her family trusted a man without a conscience as federal prosecutors said five people were charged in the ketamine conspiracy.
- On Wednesday, Suzanne Morrison delivered an emotional victim impact statement at Kenneth Iwamasa's sentencing hearing, condemning her son Matthew Perry's former assistant for his role in the fatal ketamine supply that killed the actor in October 2023.
- Suzanne Morrison insisted her family "trusted a man without a conscience" for 25 years, claiming Iwamasa betrayed his role as a "companion and guardian in his fight against addiction" by injecting the actor with drugs.
- Seeking to maintain closeness after Matthew's death, Iwamasa allegedly acted as a "good guy" by drawing maps to the cemetery and sending songs, while secretly enabling the illegal drug use that killed him.
- Prosecutors recommended a 41-month prison term for Iwamasa, who pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute ketamine, with his formal sentencing hearing scheduled for May 27 in Los Angeles.
- While the investigation led to multiple convictions including "Ketamine Queen" Jasveen Sangha, Suzanne Morrison concluded that "nothing takes this pain away, nor will it, for as long as I live.
