Hollywood A-listers ‘should be trembling in their boots’ over fears Ketamine Queen whose drugs ‘killed Friends icon Matthew Perry’ could ‘reveal who else she dealt to’
Hollywood stars should be concerned as the ‘Ketamine Queen’ arrested in connection with the death of Matthew Perry continues to be questioned, a former prosecutor has warned.
Jasveen Sangha, 41, was charged last week with 18 counts relating to supplying ketamine to the Friends star in the weeks before he died in October 2023 at the age of 54.
Sangha, who was reportedly known throughout North Hollywood as a celebrity dealer, was nicknamed the “Ketamine Queen” for her allegedly prolific activities.
Former federal prosecutor Neama Rahmani says A-listers should be concerned because she could name names and receive a lighter sentence if found guilty.
He told The Sun: ‘She can name anyone who is connected to her, anyone who has supplied her or anyone who has supplied her.
“Hollywood stars should be trembling with fear. Anyone who has anything to do with Jasveen Sangha should be seriously worried.”

Sangha is charged with conspiracy to distribute ketamine, maintaining a drug house, possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine, possession with intent to distribute ketamine and five counts of distribution of ketamine. She has denied nine charges and is on trial.
Rahmani said Sangha could face life imprisonment if found guilty.
Just hours before she was arrested by Los Angeles police on August 15, Jasveen Sangha bragged about her new haircut and hair color on social media.
Sangha shared her extravagant lifestyle, which she reportedly financed through her drug dealing, on Instagram, posting snaps of her vacations to Mexico and Japan.
The alleged dealer of the rich and famous often posted photos of herself wearing Van Cleef & Arpels jewelry, Louis Vuitton sneakers and Chanel clothing, as well as snaps of herself eating caviar in private jet lounges at LAX.
The 41-year-old ‘queen’ who reportedly acted and holds dual British and American citizenship, also threw lavish parties for her friends in Hollywood, exclaiming that ‘family is everything’.
In February 2024, four months after Perry’s death, Sangha, whose mother is from Essex, posted selfies grinning as she sunbathed during a trip to Playa del Carmen, Mexico, showing off her beachside home while sipping cocktails by the pool.
She also boasted about her health and wellness journey, getting IVs after nights out and advocating “sound healing,” which she called “absolutely uplifting and cleansing for the heart and soul.”
Just two weeks after Perry’s death from a ketamine overdose, Sangha flew to Tokyo, where she drank lychee martinis at the Mandarin Oriental hotel, where suites cost £1,426 a night.

Sangha is just one of five others arrested on August 15 in connection with the actor’s tragic death, which shocked the world on October 28, 2023.
In a criminal complaint, the texts between the suspects alleged that Sangha was known in the community only for “dealing[ing] with high-end and celebrities in her drug trade.
She is accused of using her North Hollywood home, referred to in the indictment as the “Sangha Stash House,” for the storage, packaging and distribution of narcotics, including ketamine and methamphetamine.
The indictment alleges that Sangha “knew that the unsupervised and improper use of ketamine could be fatal” and that she sold the drug in 2019 to another customer, Cody McLaury, who died of a drug overdose.
After a relative of McLaury texted Sangha saying her ketamine had killed McLaury, Sangha allegedly conducted a Google search for “can ketamine be listed as cause of death”[?]’
It is alleged that she also played a major role in the drug-induced death of Matthew Perry.
On October 11, 2023, Sangha allegedly used Signal to message suspect Eric Fleming, saying her ketamine was “high quality” and offering Perry a sample. She said: “It’s not branded but it’s amazing – he’ll take one and try it and I’ve got more if he wants it.”
According to the indictment, on October 24, he purchased 25 vials of ketamine from Sangha to give to Perry. “As part of the transaction, defendant Sangha included ketamine lollipops as a ‘perk’ to his large ketamine order.”

When “Ketamine Queen” Sangha discovered Perry had died on October 28, she reportedly called one of the alleged accomplices and asked him to erase all digital evidence from their cellphones.
When her home was searched in March 2024, police reportedly found a wealth of evidence related to her drug trafficking, including a warehouse of narcotics and 1,978 grams of methamphetamine.
An affidavit filed in a Los Angeles federal court on March 20 by DEA agent Tyler Abrego detailed the previous day’s raid on Sangha’s home.
“During the search, officers seized significant quantities of illegal drugs including approximately 1.978 grams of orange pills that tested positive for methamphetamine, 79 vials of clear liquid that tested positive for ketamine, and various other suspected narcotics,” Officer Abrego wrote.
The photo of the seized drugs that accompanied Abrego’s statement showed a firearm.
The complaint alleged that Sangha was a “major drug dealer” who had previously been identified by the DEA, LAPD investigators and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service.
Officers seized her cell phone, which contained “conversations regarding the sale of pressed methamphetamine pills and ketamine.”
In a text message conversation about selling the drug, she requested payment of “958.51” through her PayPal account and said, “I think you’ll like these, but remember they’re double strength.”
Video footage found on her phone shows her “cooking ketamine,” the officer wrote.
Also charged are doctors Salvador Plascencia, 42, and Mark Chavez, 54, Perry’s assistant Kenneth Iwamasa, 59, and drug dealer Erik Fleming, 54.
