Matthew Perry has a new memoir coming out (Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing) and apparently he is not holding back. About, like, anything—including drama among the cast of Friends.
A source tells Us Weekly that “he wants to recount his experiences, both good and bad, to help others and set the record straight over a number of incidents that were either untold until now, taken out of context, or in some cases totally twisted the wrong way and needing complete clarification.”
“He’ll delve into his addictions, of course, plus clear up rumors about his feelings for the Friends costars,” the source continues. “Plus, he’ll discuss what went wrong in a number of his past relationships. It wasn’t always a bed of roses for Matthew on and off the Friends set, and Matt isn’t going to sugarcoat the tougher times that he went through with the cast. He’ll also discuss what it was like at the reunion, both good and bad.”
While the memoir is clearly going to be super real, it isn’t intended to be mean-spirited. The source says that “it’s not going to be salacious or mean, just totally honest. But given the nature of Matt’s life and his experiences, that guarantees this will be an incredibly juicy read!”
Matthew announced his book back on February 10, tweeting, “So much has been written about me in the past. I thought it was time people heard from me. The highs were high, the lows were low. But I have lived to tell the tale, even though at times it looked like I wouldn’t. And it’s all in here. I apologize it’s not a pop-up book.”
Deadline reports that the book will drop in fall 2022, so stay tuned!
