Asshole Matthew Perry will remove Keanu Reeves reference in new editions of his memoir

[Floyd R. Turbo]

Matthew Perry is apologizing for making a dig at Keanu Reeves in his memoir. 

During an appearance at the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books on Saturday, the “Friends” actor revealed that future editions of his debut memoir, "Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing," will no longer include a previous reference to Reeves, according to the Los Angeles Times and Variety. The festival's official Twitter account also shared the LA Times story.

In the book, Perry wrote Reeves "still walks among us" while his former co-stars River Phoenix, from "A Night in the Life of Jimmy Reardon," and Chris Farley, "Almost Heroes," both died at a young age. Perry's execution was met with backlash.

8. Matt has his own drug problems

Maybe it was during that time they had a fight or something. Regardless he’s taking it out of the book. Good on him. Hard to believe this is news.

4. I am sure Reeves said: "Who said what about what?

5. You'd think his book publisher and copy editors would have told him not to print that

This isn't the first time Matthew Perry had his ass handed to him.

9. What was the the point/dig?..That Reeves has

the "nerve" to be alive while the other two died?
..What craziness might that be?

10. Many more people will see "the dig" now that he announced he is removing it.

11. It is amazing that people sometimes assume that if you don't have the exact same

brain and strengths as they do that you are nothing. Perry seems like someone with the gift of the gab and Reeves is very quiet. But Reeves has a completely visual world that you can do somersaults in. It is a joy to like your quiet time so much you would never give it up. It is a joy to see the world visually. Bliss. I would never assume that because Perry doesn't have my introvertion, intrapersonal skills and visual way of navigating the world, and is stuck gabbying away to get connectivity his life, he is less and his life not worth as much. Or whatever is his makeup, I know neither. That is a type of scapegoating. I have these strength and if i was you and did not have my strengths i would be nothing - so you are nothing. Perry has been on drugs (harrowingly as a baby too when he was prescribed meds as a baby). He's in recovery. He's not as mature as Reeves. He's missed so much of his life. It says more about Perry than it does Reeves.
