Dark world of Matthew Perry 'Ketamine Queen' who gave star 'drug lollies' and ate caviar
Jasveen Sangha, aka the ' Ketamine Queen of Los Angeles', has seen her lavish lifestyle come crashing down after the tragic death of Matthew Perry in 2023.
The 42-year-old, who has dual citizenship with the US and the UK, agreed to plead guilty in relation to the Friends star's death, just weeks before her trial was due to begin. Sangha, who had previously denied the charges, was the final defendant out of five accused in connection with the Chandler Bing star's death to reach a plea deal. She has been behind bars since August of last year.
Her trial had been scheduled for August 19, later pushed to September 23, but after her U-turn, Sangha is set to plead guilty to five federal charges. It comes after it was revealed the Hollywood resident could face decades in prison following her role in Perry's death, which was caused by the acute effects of ketamine.
Before she ended up behind bars, after federal prosecutors called her Los Angeles home a "drug-selling emporium" and found dozens of vials of ketamine during a raid, the glamorous socialite was wrapped up in a very shady world - but always dressed to impress...
Designer gear
Online, Sangha appeared to live a lavish lifestyle - holidaying in high-end resorts in Tokyo and Mexico, wearing Chanel and Luis Vuitton gear, and partying with Hollywood's glitziest circles including former drug addict, Charlie Sheen.
Photographs on her Instagram page show her wearing eye-wateringly expensive Van Cleef & Arpels jewellery as well as Louis Vuitton trainers and Chanel suits.
One source, who claims to be gobsmacked by the drug dealing claims, told the Daily Mail: 'She's always in the nicest designer clothes.'
'Sangha's stash house'
Texts revealed in Sangha's indictment claimed she would 'only deal with high end and celeb' clients and stored drugs at her North Hollywood home, dubbed 'Sangha's Stash house'.
Sangha boasted a number of A-list pals in Tinseltown, mingling with celebrities, including troubled star, Perry.
Ketamine lollipops
As part of her deal with the Friends star on October 24, Sangha threw in 'ketamine lollipops as an 'add on' for his large ketamine order', the indictment against her states.
After seizing her phone, police reportedly found footage of Sangha 'cooking' ketamine and conversations related to 'selling pressed methamphetamine pills and ketamine'.
Perry was found dead in a back yard jacuzzi at his Los Angeles home in October 2023, with an examination finding his death was caused by the acute effects of ketamine.
Feasting on caviar
In February 2024, Sangha posted a photo of a plate piled with caviar from a private jet lounge at LAX airport.
Also in the shot was a glass of chilled bubbly and a stack of plump blinis, perfect for the 'Ketamine Queen' to enjoy the mega-money delicacy, eaten by royalty and the rich and famous, with as she prepared to fly across the world...
Private jets
In another example of her lavish lifestyle, Sangha shared a snap of herself on a private jet on Instagram in front of a glass of champagne as she posed for a photo, looking delighted with life.
Sporting an arm full of designer bracelets, she smiled for the photo as she settled down to travel in style.
5* holidays
In November 2023, two weeks after Perry died, Sangha was seen quaffing lychee martinis on Instagram at the Mandarin Oriental hotel, in Tokyo, where suites cost nearly £1,500 a night.
Four months later in February, she was sunning herself by a pool at a beachfront n Playa del Carmen, Mexico, and shared selfies drinking more cocktails.
'Play money, but don't be playing with my money,' she wrote in one of her captions after a source claimed Sangha was from a rich family.
'Wealthy family'
Those close to Sangha told the Daily Mail they were 'completely shocked' that she could be involved in drug dealing because she came from a rich family, at the time of her arrest.
Interior designer Clancy Carter, who knew Sangha since 2008, said: 'She has a family that cares for her. She has never been the type of person who needed money.
'She has property in the UK. She's always traveling and doing fun things with her family. I would never guess she would do something like this at all.'
