The Friends main cast, including Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, David Schwimmer, Matt LeBlanc, and Lisa Kudrow, is reportedly distressed by recent claims about their late co-star Matthew Perry. Reports alleging physical assault and substance abuse have left them feeling stressed and saddened.

They are reluctant to give these claims any attention but are struggling with the negativity surrounding Perry. They want to remember the kind and loving person they knew. The cast had considered a special reunion to honor Perry at the Emmys, but it was deemed too soon given their mourning.
