Matthew Perry, the beloved actor known for his role as Chandler Bing in the hit sitcom Friends, tragically passed away on Saturday, October 28th.
The cause of his death, which occurred in his Los Angeles home, is yet to be determined following an autopsy.
As news of his passing spread, fellow stars including Gwyneth Paltrow, Robin Lively, Elizabeth Hurley, Maggie Wheeler, Selma Blair, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Lisa Ann Walter, Christina Ricci, and many others paid tribute to the late actor.
However, amidst the mourning and remembrance, a Twitter source reported that the talent agency WME (William Morris Endeavor) made an appalling attempt to invite Meghan Markle and Prince Harry to Perry’s funeral.
The source claimed that Meghan was using the funeral as a publicity stunt, comparing it to her previous controversial appearances.
This news shocked many, as Hollywood celebrities are typically ruthless when it comes to money and business opportunities.
Meghan’s actions have further tarnished her reputation within the industry, sinking her lower with each desperate attempt to stay in the public eye.
Matthew’s close friends, Courtney Cox and Jennifer Aniston, who also starred in Friends, would reportedly not tolerate Meghan’s presence at the funeral if she were to turn it into a PR circus.
Hollywood is repulsed by her audacity to believe that her attendance would be seen as a positive thing.
The world does not want to witness Meghan’s attempt to steal the spotlight with her own agenda.
The responsibility falls on WME to act professionally and control their client, or else they will face severe backlash across all social media platforms.
However, it is highly unlikely that Meghan will be allowed to attend the funeral.
Matthew Perry had a strong support system, including his family and close friends, who would undoubtedly prevent her from turning the solemn occasion into a spectacle.
WME lacks the influence and favors necessary to secure her attendance, and even if they did, it would only worsen Meghan’s already tarnished image.
Her self-centered nature prevents her from feeling any embarrassment or remorse for attempting to network and gain attention at such a tragic event.
In the wake of Matthew Perry’s death, Sussex PR, the public relations team representing Meghan and Harry, seized the opportunity to release a statement.
They highlighted Harry’s connection to the late actor, stating that he identified with Perry’s character, Chandler Bing, in Friends.
Harry revealed that he turned to binge-watching the sitcom in 2013 to cope with his debilitating panic attacks.
In his memoir Spare, Harry described himself as a “Chandler,” while also confessing his crush on Monica, played by Courtney Cox.
He even shared a humorous anecdote about crashing at Cox’s house in 2016, jokingly referring to it as “crashing at Monica’s.”
Despite Harry’s claim, there are no real similarities between him and Chandler Bing.
While Chandler was known for his humor and lovable nature, Matthew Perry himself was recognized for his talent and kind-heartedness.
In contrast, Harry’s actions have often been met with criticism, leading many to question his intentions and sincerity.
As the world mourns the loss of Matthew Perry, it is disheartening to witness the exploitation of his funeral for personal gain.
Meghan Markle’s potential presence at the service has drawn widespread condemnation, and rightfully so.
The world sees through her motives, and her attendance would only further damage her already tarnished reputation.
Matthew Perry deserves a respectful farewell, free from any distractions or self-centered agendas.
