Matthew Perry’s Raya match Kate Haralson was given the boot from the dating app for breaking privacy guidelines, it has ben claimed.

The 20-year-old was paired-up with the Friends actor, 51, on the site which only accepts eight per cent of its applicants.

The personal assistant, who was 19 when she met Matthew online in May last year, shared a video of the Friends star on TikTok that went viral on Thursday, after he FaceTimed her following their messages online.

The Hollywood star, who is currently engaged to Molly Hurwitz, 29, allegedly asked her: ‘Am I as old as your Dad?’, which left Kate feeling ‘uncomfortable’.

She shared the clip with the caption: ‘When you match with Matthew Perry as a joke on a dating app and he FaceTimes you and plays 20 questions with you.’

The 16-second video shows Matthew smiling as he asks Kate: ‘Do you always play with your hair this much?’ to which she giggles: ‘I guess so.’

She alleges he told her he was roughly a year older than her father, adding: ‘I don’t think he minded that.

‘It felt kind of weird talking to someone my dad’s age and it just felt not right, especially when he knew how young I was.’

On sharing the video, she told Page Six: ‘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.’

Matthew briefly split from his fiancée Molly in May last year when Kate claims the FaceTime exchange took place.

Kate was removed from dating app Raya after her video went viral, something she claims she expected to happen.

The removal of member section guidelines state: ‘Every member is expected to follow our simple rules of respect, trust and privacy. There are plenty of places across the internet where an expectation of behavioural standards and respect for other users isn’t required.’

Kate is not the only woman to have broken Raya’s rules – actor Ben Affleck, 48, was revealed to have been chatting to user Nivine Jay, 29, after she also shared their chat on TikTok.

Metro.co.uk has contacted a representative for Matthew Perry for comment.
