Desperate Housewives actress Teri Hatcher recently shared a surprising story about her and the late actor Matthew Perry being removed from the same dating app, Hinge. The two former co-stars from the sitcom The Odd Couple were kicked off the app due to suspicions that their accounts were not authentic.
In a candid interview with The Telegraph, Hatcher, 59, disclosed that she and Perry had kept in touch over the years through occasional text messages. She recounted the incident when both of them were banned from Hinge and how Perry reached out to her in response to her Twitter post about it. The actress reflected on their friendship and questioned why they were even on a dating app in the first place.
Hatcher, who had previously expressed her frustration with being removed from Hinge, shared that she had ultimately decided to give up on dating apps altogether. She emphasized that she was content with her busy life, filled with good friends and her beloved cat, and didn’t feel the need to seek a romantic relationship.
Following Perry’s untimely passing last year at the age of 54, Hatcher revisited the popular show Friends in which he starred. She praised Perry’s comedic talent and remembered him as a wonderful colleague. The actress acknowledged their supportive relationship off-screen and expressed her hope that Perry had known she was always there for him.
In a tragic turn of events, Perry’s death was attributed to the acute effects of ketamine, a powerful anesthetic. Reports indicated that multiple individuals might face charges related to his passing, which occurred when he was found unresponsive in a hot tub at his Pacific Palisades residence.
Perry had battled addiction for many years, with his struggles intensifying after a serious jet ski accident in 1997 led to an addiction to Vicodin, a potent painkiller. In his memoir titled Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing, Perry detailed his extensive efforts to achieve sobriety, including spending millions of dollars, attending thousands of Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, and undergoing rehab on multiple occasions.
The revelations shared by Teri Hatcher shed light on the personal challenges faced by both herself and Matthew Perry, highlighting the complexities of fame, friendship, and the devastating impact of addiction. The actress’s candid remarks serve as a reminder of the importance of supporting one another through difficult times and cherishing the memories of those we have lost.
