Matthew Perry, widely known for his role in Friends, passed away at the age of 54 last month. In his bestselling memoir released in 2022, Perry shared that he had relied on a female personal assistant, who he referred to as "Erin", to help him through his struggles with drug addiction and recovery. Upon Perry's untimely death, speculation arose about whether his glamorous assistant, Briana Brancato, was the mysterious "Erin".
However, it has now been revealed that Morgan Moses, a 37-year-old sober companion, was the person Perry had credited with saving his life. Moses, who Perry described as the kindest person in the world, had sat by his bedside for five months during his recovery from an exploded colon. Moses, who has been working as a full-time sober companion since 2018, possesses various skills such as therapeutic crisis intervention, mental health first aid, behavioral intervention, and nutritional counseling.
Previously, she worked as a website designer and graduated from Full Sail University in Florida.
Her social media presence indicates that she has also experienced her own struggles with addiction and journeyed towards sobriety. Evidence of Moses' close relationship with Perry is seen in their joint purchase of a puppy named Alfred before Perry's split from his ex-fiancée, Molly Hurwitz, in 2021. Perry detailed their meeting in rehab and his subsequent admiration for Moses in his memoir, revealing that he eventually convinced her to join him as his personal assistant.
Initially, Moses stayed in the same room as Perry during his stay at a sober living house in Southern California. They later lived together at Perry's $22 million penthouse condo in Century City. Moses was so dedicated to Perry's recovery that she even quit smoking to aid his progress.
Contrary to initial assumptions, Perry's relationship with his personal assistant, Briana Brancato, was purely professional.
According to a friend, Brancato primarily took care of logistical tasks such as ordering food for Perry. Brancato expressed her grief over Perry's passing on social media, stating that she is focusing on cherishing their memories. Following his breakup with Hurwitz, Perry was linked to several younger women. However, these relationships were reportedly mentorships, including his encounter with Athenna Crosby, a former Miss California, whom Perry was seen dining with at Hotel Bel-Air before his death.
Perry experienced personal turmoil due to a fear of abandonment and revealed in his memoir that he had sabotaged multiple relationships, including one with Julia Roberts.
It was also disclosed that Perry followed adult film star Kylie Rocket on Instagram, but Rocket clarified that they did not have a personal connection. The revelations surrounding Perry's personal life have drawn attention to his platonic relationship with Morgan Moses, which seemed to be a consistent and stable presence in his life.
Their deep bond was documented in the initial and final chapters of Perry's memoir. In one poignant scene, Moses defied rehab staff and rushed Perry to the hospital when they tried to prevent him from seeking treatment for his exploded colon. Perry emphasized that their relationship was strictly platonic but incredibly close, stating that he couldn't imagine his life without her
