Kelly Osbourne Claims Rehab Teaches “How to Be a Better Drug Addict”

As a lifestyle expert with extensive knowledge and understanding of addiction and recovery, Kelly Osbourne‘s brave revelations in TMZ’s documentary shine a light on a disturbing reality that many may not be aware of. Her firsthand experiences with rehab and its pitfalls serve as a stark reminder of the complexities surrounding substance abuse treatment.


Kelly Osbourne isn’t holding back.

Recently, a 39-year-old woman openly shared her frank insights about her rehabilitation journey in a candid review for TMZ’s latest documentary titled “TMZ Investigates Matthew Perry and the Hidden Circle of Celebrity Drug Abuse.

In a preview interview with Harvey Levin from TMZ, Osbourne described his first rehab experience as being similar to attending a university, but instead of learning how to succeed, he learned how to become a more proficient drug addict. He shared that during his stay, he picked up numerous tricks and insights from his fellow addicts that he hadn’t even considered before. (104 words)

She went on to say, “I noticed that people sometimes made threats to depart unless they received what they desired. This could range from Ambien for sleeping issues, or Valium for anxiety, but in the end, it seemed they always managed to obtain it.

In other words, according to Levin, “The rehab is being threatened with, ‘Either give me the drugs, or I’ll depart and you’ll forfeit your $100,000 investment.’

According to Osbourne, this method he claims works, involves rehabs providing whatever their attendees request.

Additionally, the former reality TV star addressed a broader concern, alleging it as a supposed system designed to repeatedly return individuals to rehabilitation centers.

Osbourne clarified, ‘These individuals are known as body brokers. They often wait near support groups like Alcoholics Anonymous, seeking out those who seem vulnerable or struggling. Their objective is to entice these individuals to relapse, which allows them to offer help and transport them back again.’

She added, “I swear on everything that it’s true.”

Osborne’s remarks in TMZ’s documentary were made during the ongoing probe into Matthew Perry’s October 2023 demise, which was determined as an unintended drowning resulting from the immediate influence of ketamine.

Since his demise, it has been revealed at a press conference on August 15th that five people are facing charges related to his unfortunate incident.

In that period, the Department of Justice implicated Dr. Mark Chavez, Dr. Salvador Plasencia, Perry’s assistant Kenneth Iwamasa, Jasveen Sangha (also known as “The Ketamine Queen”), and Eric Fleming for exploiting the actor’s prolonged battle with drug addiction. They stated that these individuals were indicted for their suspected role in his demise.

Based on reports from TopMob News, which reviewed Department of Justice documents, it was claimed by prosecutors that Plasencia collaborated with Iwamasa to provide around 20 vials of ketamine to Perry between September and October 2023, receiving a total of $55,000 in cash as payment.

Additionally, the DOJ alleged that Placensia, who pleaded not guilty to conspiring to distribute ketamine, was found to have texted with Chavez discussing the amount of money they could persuade the actor to spend on the drug. Specifically, it is claimed that Placensia once wrote, “I’m curious about how much this person will be willing to pay.

In a court hearing on August 30th, as reported by NBC News, Chavez has consented to a plea bargain. He was charged with one count of conspiring to distribute ketamine and will reportedly admit guilt at a future hearing.

After Chavez’s hearing, attorney Matthew Binninger shared with reporters outside the courtroom that his client was deeply regretful.

Binninger stated that his client chose to accept the plea agreement due to the meticulous work of the federal investigators during their investigation, and further emphasized that his client intends to act honorably. He will continue to collaborate in future proceedings.
