Sources close to the late actor claim to Daily Mail that, Matthew Perry allegedly “threw a coffee table” at Hurwitz in 2021 after she questioned him about cheating. Perry and Hurwitz, a literary manager, began dating in 2018 and got engaged in November 2020. However, they called off their engagement seven months later amid rumors that Perry was flirting with a 19-year-old on the dating app Raya.
Contrary to previous reports, sources claim that Hurwitz broke up with Perry in February 2021 after a significant Valentine's Day fight. Allegedly, Perry had purchased a romantic gift for someone else he met on Raya. The source stated that “He (Matthew Perry) threw a coffee table at her and told her that she was crazy,” the source added, “He hated that she dumped him and he had terrible abandonment issues.”
