Court Schedules Sentencing For Woman Who Sold Drugs To Matthew Perry
‘Ketamine Queen’ faces sentencing for Matthew Perry’s drug death.
A Los Angeles woman known as the “Ketamine Queen” is set to face sentencing after pleading guilty to selling the drugs that ultimately contributed to the death of actor Matthew Perry. Authorities confirmed that the substances provided included ketamine, a powerful anesthetic with hallucinogenic properties, which played a role in the medical complications leading to Perry’s demise.
The case has drawn significant attention due to Perry’s high-profile status and ongoing public conversations about substance abuse among celebrities. Prosecutors argued that the defendant knowingly supplied illegal drugs, fully aware of the potential harm to her client. Court documents revealed that the actor had a history of struggles with addiction, which investigators said made him particularly vulnerable.
Defense attorneys indicated that the woman cooperated with law enforcement during the investigation and had no prior felony convictions. They asked the court to consider her willingness to provide information as a mitigating factor during sentencing. Still, the gravity of her actions is expected to influence the final judgment significantly.

Legal experts note that this case highlights the broader issue of illegal drug distribution and its lethal consequences, particularly when targeting individuals with known substance abuse histories. The sentencing phase will determine whether she faces a lengthy prison term, fines, or other penalties under California law.
Friends and colleagues of Perry have publicly expressed sorrow and emphasized the importance of addiction awareness. Many advocates hope the outcome of the trial will underscore the risks associated with illicit drug use and reinforce the need for stronger safeguards and education.
The court is scheduled to deliver its sentence later this month, marking a significant moment in a case that has resonated across Hollywood and the public at large. The case also serves as a sobering reminder of the legal and human consequences tied to the distribution of dangerous substances.
