Matthew Perry’s mystery woman that he was seen out with a day before his shocking death has been identified as entertainment reporter Athenna Crosby.
After pictures started surfacing of the mystery woman who was out on lunch with the Friends star a day before his untimely death, the 25-year-old model and entertainment reporter identified herself in a tribute to Perry posted to Instagram Tuesday.
“Rest in Peace my friend,” Crosby wrote on her stories over a black-and-white picture of Perry.
Noting that she initially felt it “in poor taste” to bring attention to herself amid the tragedy or violate Perry’s privacy, Crosby admitted, “But indeed we were friends and I was one of the last people to speak to him and see him before he passed.”
In the next story, she reposted the initial story by TMZ and revealed that it was indeed her in the pictures having lunch with Perry at hotel Bel-Air on Friday.
“I want to emphasize that Matthew was in extremely good spirits, and talked to me enthusiastically about the things that he had coming up in his life,” Crosby eulogised.
She further implored that everyone “please refrain from any speculation surrounding [Perry’s] death and know that the man was on a comeback and truly deserved more time on this earth.”
After Tuesday’s post, Crosby took to Instagram once again to refute claims that she’s seeking “15 minutes of fame or money,” and only wished to “testify on his mental state,” once again urging viewers to steer clear of any “conspiracy theories” surrounding Perry’s death.
