A 19-year-old woman opened up about her experience after she matched with actor Matthew Perry on the dating app Raya.
Haralson, 19, claimed she matched with Perry in a since-deleted TikTok video, Page Six reported Thursday. Haralson had shared a video of herself and Perry playing 20 questions on FaceTime.

“A lot of people were saying I’m a bully and mean for posting this, and it made me feel kind of bad, but at the same time, I feel like a lot of guys in Hollywood are talking to all these young girls and it’s something that I think a lot of people should be aware of,” Haralson told Page Six.

Haralson doesn’t usually talk to older guys on the app, but thought it could be funny to match with Perry, she told the outlet.
“It kind of felt weird talking to someone my dad’s age and it just felt not right, especially when he knew how young I was,” Haralson said.
She claimed she deleted the video because she felt bad about posting it.
Revealing celebrity matches on TikTok has seemingly become a trend lately. TikTok user Nivine Jay shared a video actor Ben Affleck sent her on Instagram after the two matched on Raya.
Model Chrissy Teigen called Affleck’s video “creepy” when she shared her opinion on her Twitter account.
“I agree celebs shouldn’t be making these creepy desperate video replies on raya but it’s tacky to release private messages,” Teigen tweeted. “Ya both wrong, congrats.”
Teigen isn’t wrong. It is a little creepy for these fully grown men to be sending videos and chitchatting with girls barely of age on dating apps. These are famous adults. We’re positive they also have to resort to dating apps to meet people just like normal people?
Something seems off here.
