late actor lying on a couch with his hands superglued to his legs so he wouldn’t consume drugs. “I was at Matthew’s place in the Hollywood Hills,” Edwards, 47, told The Sun on Saturday. “He was in a bad way.” Edwards — who claims she dated the “Friends” star in 2006 before working as his assistant five years later — said Perry “had been getting high all night on a plethora of drugs, most likely crack cocaine and other substances.” “I found Matthew on the couch with his hands superglued to his legs — it was desperately sad,” Edwards continued. “I had to use nail polish remover and olive oil to free him.”“We were literally ripping the hair from his legs, and he had red, raw patches left behind,” she recalled, adding that the entire process was “pretty horrific.”According to Edwards, the “Serving Sara” star was always thinking about taking drugs. “Even when he was clean and going through rehab, he was still thinking about taking drugs,” Edwards stated. “He would say, ‘Let’s go get some cocaine.

What do you think about that? Ha, I’m just joking.’”“But I would say, ‘Let’s go get some lunch instead,’” Edwards said. This is not the first time Edwards has made the superglue claim — she shared a similar recollection in 2018 with In Touch Weekly.“I’m looking at him and he’s high out of his mind, and he hadn’t showered in like [nine] days or something and the guy has just superglued his hands to his legs,” Edwards described.“And he wants me to unstick him, and I have no idea, because I’ve never dealt with somebody whose superglued their hands to their legs,” she added.The Post reached out to Edwards and Perry’s former rep for comment.Perry, 54, was found dead at his Los Angeles home on Oct.
