Comparing Perry to Gerber
When Matthew Perry died, and his assistant was convicted for getting him the ketamine, Maureen quite rightly pointed out that obviously an employee of a celebrity does what the celebrity wants. She also thought that the assistant shouldn’t have been convicted for getting him the drugs.
But then with Presley Gerber, she thinks that his “sober coach” should have been responsible for him doing drugs? I’m getting whiplash. Obviously Presley Gerber was a lot younger, but he was still an adult who was responsible for his own addiction. A sober coach can only do so much (as they’re a glorified conscience) and dropping him at a sober facility is probably a last ditch attempt to get him not to do (more) drugs (as he was likely already high) and the sober coach was not being successful in stopping or preventing his drug use.
