Why Didn’t the “Friends” Cast Participate in the Matthew Perry Documentary?

A documentary called “Matthew Perry: A Hollywood Tragedy” hit Peacock today.

If you check it out, don’t expect to see the other “Friends”.  Director Robert Palumbo says Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, and David Schwimmer “understandably” chose not to appear.

Quote, “They were reluctant to go on a documentary about Matthew at this point.  Maybe many years down the line.”

However, one person DID participate:  Morgan Fairchild, who played Chandler’s mom.  She wanted to make sure that he’s remembered for helping others with addiction issues, and not just for being on “Friends”.

FYI, there’s a joint trial next week for a doctor and a woman known as the “Ketamine Queen“, who both pleaded not guilty to contributing to Matthew’s death.
