What happens when a glittering Hollywood lifestyle collides with the dark underbelly of addiction?
That’s the tragic backdrop to Matthew Perry’s death.
And the latest turn in the case of Jasveen Sangha, the woman federal prosecutors dubbed the “Ketamine Queen.”
Sangha, 42, has agreed to plead guilty to five charges.
Including distributing the powerful anaesthetic that prosecutors say directly led to Perry’s fatal overdose.
Once facing nine counts, she’s now taking what her lawyer Mark Geragos calls “responsibility for her actions.”
But the story goes beyond Perry.Investigators say Sangha ran a “stash house” in North Hollywood — a full-fledged drug emporium.
It had more than 80 ketamine vials, plus meth, cocaine, and Xanax.
Her Alleged Clientele?
Celebrities and wealthy insiders. She even sold ketamine in 2019 to another man, who died hours later.
She wasn’t alone, either. Two doctors, Perry’s assistant, and another supplier have all admitted roles in fueling the actor’s deadly addiction.
One DEA official described the Hollywood ketamine trade as the “wild west,” where rules meant to protect patients were tossed aside.
If convicted, Sangha faces up to 65 years in federal prison.
For someone who flaunted Oscars parties and luxury trips online, the fall couldn’t be starker.
And it leaves a haunting question: how many more lives are lost in the shadows of Hollywood’s bright lights?
