Perry's PA also involved?

According to police authorities, Perry's personal assistant Kenneth Iwamasa was also knee-deep in this ketamine scandal, providing drugs to Perry through Dr. Salvador Plasencia, both of whom have been arrested by the cops. Plasencia had admitted to selling ketamine to Perry even when he was spiraling into addiction, and gone too far. The doctor claimed that he continued to sell drugs even after knowing the adverse effects it could have on the Friends star, according to the prosecutors.

Therapy gone wrong

Perry had been undergoing anxiety and depression treatment for some time, and had adapted to ketamine therapy. However, he had fallen into the spiral of ketamine usage while being in therapy, and took unregulated dosages that landed him in deep trouble. The doctors kept pushing the drugs and he kept consuming them, according to the assumptions of the authorities.
