Jim Carrey’s Ex-Girlfriend Cat White Accused Actor Of Introducing Her To Cocaine
Jim Carrey’s ex-girlfriend, Cat White, had some strong allegations against the actor before she committed suicide in 2015.
According to People, a letter written by White prior to her death recently surfaced, and it contained shocking details about the kind of relationship the estranged couple had.
The publication also noted that Carrey is being sued by White’s ex-husband, Mark Burton, as well as her mom, Brigid Sweetman, for allegedly giving White drugs despite knowing that she is prone to depression. White had also attempted suicide before, but survived. In addition, Burton and Sweetman claimed that the actor gave White “three STDs” without warning her.
In the letter dated April 8, 2013, White expressed her disappointment in Carrey. She also said that she received a text from him as per his lawyer’s advice so she knew that his message did not really come from his heart.
“Before you I might not have had very much but I had respect, I was a happy person, I loved life, I was confident and I felt good in my skin and was proud of most decisions I made. I met you, you introduced me to cocaine, prostitutes, mental abuse and disease. You did good things for me but being with you broke me down as a person Jim,” she wrote.
On Friday, Carrey and his lawyer fired back at Burton, Sweetman and White’s attorney, Filippo Marchino, saying that their latest move was just an attempt to extort money from him. Immediately after, Burton and Sweetman’s attorney, Michael Avenatti, told People that they obtained White’s letter during a forensic examination of her iPad.
Avenatti released a statement to the publication, saying, that the “note, written in Cat’s own words, shows the world how Jim Carrey treated her while she was alive and the depths of his destructive behavior. We look forward to trying our case to a Los Angeles jury.”
Carrey’s attorney, Ray Boucher, fired back that the letter they obtained just proves that their “evidence was pure fraud, and that White, her lawyers and others were trying to establish a basis for Jim into ultimately settling with her based on these false claims.”
