Matthew Perry has a tell-all coming out, and he is telling all in Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing. He talks about his drug use, getting clean, and his torrid affairs with legendary actresses like Julia Roberts.
However, one of them was an affair because the actress was married at the time that they got together for one night.
Perry and Valerie Bertinelli starred in the failed sitcom Sydney, and the actor wanted to be more than friends with his co-star, who was married to Eddie Van Halen at the time.
According to an excerpt that Page Six got their hands on, Perry fantasized about her leaving her husband for him.
Then one night, he was at the Van Halens, and the guitarist drank too much, so he passed out. Perry decided to seize the night, and the two had a makeout session while her husband lay passed out 10 feet away from them.
That was their one and only encounter, and the show was cancelled four weeks after that fateful night.
Is this story true? Bertinelli posted a video on TikTok and wrote, “Anyone misbehave in their 20’s and 30’s. Are you mortified?” The actress seems embarrassed by what happened that night.
I say, “It happens. We all misbehave.” Even when we get older. I know I am still a bad girl! It is human nature to be bad because it feels so good.
The important thing is that we learn from our mistakes.
