Rowena Chiu, who assisted Harvey Weinstein in 1998, says an “inherent power imbalance” has placed Matthew Perry's assistant in the legal system's crosshairs.
According to a statement from the US Attorney’s Office, Central District of California, Perry’s 59-year-old, live-in assistant has “admitted to repeatedly injecting Perry with ketamine without medical training, including performing multiple injections on Perry on October 28, 2023 – the day Perry died” at age 54. According to a plea agreement Iwamasa made with prosecutors, Perry had instructed him to secure illicit doses of the powerful anesthetic in late September.
“As a personal assistant, if you’re ever asked to do anything ethically dubious, you’re immediately reassured, as I was: Oh, don’t worry, you’ll never get into trouble,” after all, she writes, people powerful enough to hire a crew of assistants also have a legal team to step in in the assistant’s behalf. That supposed safety net went away for Iwamasa when Perry died, Chiu argues, as “Mr. Perry are no longer around to protect the assistant.
