Insiders who spoke with Us Weekly have raised questions about the beloved actor’s real personality. “He was verbally, emotionally, and physically abusive,” said one source. “All he knew how to do was cause pain and play the victim.” Another person blamed Perry’s failings on his addiction, claiming that it “warped” his personality and changed him for the worse.
The piece also accused Perry of physically abusing his best friend, Morgan Moses. The alleged altercation with Moses took place after she inquired about his prescription drug use. “He threw [Moses] into a wall and threw something at her and shoved her onto a bed,” said the insider of the incident, which ultimately ended their lengthy friendship.
Perry was reportedly sued by an unnamed romantic partner, who claimed that he emotionally and psychologically abused her and introduced her to substance use. “She claimed that he was abusive and got her addicted to drugs, including oxycodone and painkillers,” said a source. Although the identity of this woman is unknown, The Daily Mail reported that Perry also got physical with his ex-girlfriend, Molly Hurwitz. In 2021, Perry reportedly became angry after Hurwitz initiated a breakup upon finding out he’d been buying gifts for another woman. “He threw a coffee table at her and told her that she was crazy,'” said a source. “He hated that she dumped him and he had terrible abandonment issues.”
