Jim Carrey is to be found this evening on TMC in the film Almighty Bruce. The opportunity to mention the heavy legal episode that he experienced a few years ago in relation to his ex-girlfriend, Cathriona White. As a reminder, the latter killed herself in September 2015 by swallowing several drugs. In a farewell letter,written in 2013 when the couple were temporarily separated, she then openly attacked the actor, accusing him, among other things, of being responsible for his suicidal desires.
In fact, the hero of The Mask, Ace Ventura or Dumb and Dumber would have abandoned her after exposing her to several sexually transmitted diseases including herpes. He had notably been attacked by the mother and husband of Cathriona White, Brigid Sweetman and Mark Burton, who had assured that he had voluntarily given his medication to his companion (products which he allegedly obtained illegally using a false name ) despite knowing that she suffered from depression and had suicidal tendencies.
You introduced me to cocaine
Jim Carrey then counter-attacked the complaint by assuring that Cathriona White had contracted STDs long before their meeting in 2012. To support his defense, the Hollywood star’s lawyer had sent several documents to the court proving that the young woman had falsified medical papers. The American actor had also faced other charges. “I met you, you introduced me to cocaine, prostitutes, emotional abuse and disease.” could also be read in this letter written by his companion before his suicide.
Finally, faced with a lack of irrefutable evidence, he was exonerated in January 2018 by an judge having dismissed the complaint filed several months ago by the family of the deceased. A sordid affair, which had not failed to react to Internet users at the time.
