Matthew Perry ‘assaulted women’ including ex-fiancée: Friends actor ‘hurled table’ at Molly Hurwitz after she confronted him about cheating – and ‘threw live-in sober companion against wall’
Friends star Matthew Perry physically abused several women – including his ex-fiancée Molly Hurwitz – in the years leading up to his death, sources close to the star have sensationally revealed.
Explosive new allegations detail how the late star ‘threw a coffee table’ at Hurwitz after she confronted him about cheating in 2021.
He is also said to have pushed his live-in sober companion Morgan Moses against a wall and “threw her onto a bed” during an angry “meltdown” in March 2022.
These claims now threaten to tarnish Perry’s legacy, following his death at age 54 in October from a ketamine overdose while in the hot tub of his Pacific Palisades home.
They also paint the darkest picture yet of the star’s difficult final years.
Explosive new allegations detail how Perry ‘threw a coffee table’ at Molly Hurwitz (pictured) after she confronted him about cheating in 2021.

These claims now threaten to tarnish Perry’s legacy, following his death at age 54 in October from a ketamine overdose while in the hot tub of his Pacific Palisades home.
In Perry’s 2022 memoir Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing, he claimed he was finally sober, after multiple failed attempts to get clean and at a personal cost of $9 million.
But as I reported last month, we now know that’s not true and that he was “never clean.”
Despite a live-in nursing team, Perry met young girls on dating apps and had medications (often Oxycontin) delivered to his $6 million mansion.
The amount of ketamine found in his body by researchers was comparable to the levels used to sedate patients in the hospital.
Perry has since been variously described as “incredibly withdrawn” and “angry and mean” before his death.
In his memoir, Perry used the pseudonym “Erin” to refer to Morgan Moses – whose true identity I revealed in November.
He said she was his “best friend” and credited her with saving his life after his colon burst. However, sources now say that this, like the matter-of-fact claims, was a lie.
In reality, after Perry attacked Moses, now 37, she quit her job as his sober companion and cut off all contact with him a year before the memoir was published.
Morgan declined to comment when contacted by The Mail.
“Morgan was no longer working with Matthew. He had a terrible breakdown and in the heat of the moment he couldn’t control his emotions. He was afraid he would be abandoned,” a source explains. ‘He pushed Morgan against a wall and threw her on a bed. She left.’
The source added: ‘The man close to him and the man who saw the world were two very different people.’
Perry also allegedly abused his former fiancée Molly Hurwitz, a literary talent manager whom Perry began dating in 2018.
The pair publicly announced the end of their engagement after it emerged in the summer of 2021 that Perry had flirted with 19-year-old Kate Haralson on the dating app Raya.
But – according to sources with knowledge of their relationship – Hurwitz actually ended the relationship in February, after a huge fight on Valentine’s Day.
She allegedly confronted him after discovering he had bought a romantic gift for someone he met, also on a dating app.
“He threw a coffee table at her and told her she was crazy,” the sources said. ‘He hated that she dumped him and he had terrible abandonment issues.’
Hurwitz also declined to comment.
In his memoir, Perry claimed he proposed to Hurwitz in November 2020 while he was on drugs and in the hospital.
“I was high on 1,800 milligrams of hydrocodone when I asked her to marry me… high as a kite,” he wrote. “I slowly started to realize that I was engaged, living with a woman and two dogs… I wasn’t ready for this… Needless to say, we broke up.”
Sources say this was untrue – and written with the intention of hurting Hurwitz. Perry was not in the hospital or high when he proposed.
Representatives for Perry did not respond to requests for comment.
