Tragic Details About Jim Carrey

June 2024 · 1 minute read

One of Carrey's ex-girlfriends, makeup artist Cathriona White, died by suicide in 2015. Their relationship had its share of ups and downs, and they had broken up several times, including the week before she passed away. "She was a truly kind and delicate Irish flower, too sensitive for this soil, to whom loving and being loved was all that sparkled," a shocked Carrey said at the time (via the BBC).

White was found to have overdosed on prescription drugs, and her death was ruled as a suicide. However, not everyone was convinced.  According to The Independent, White's estranged husband and her mom accused Carrey of giving the drugs to White and sued him. Carrey alleged that this was merely an attempt to take advantage of his status as an actor and filed a countersuit.

After a bit of back-and-forth, Carrey was finally cleared of all charges, and the lawsuits were dropped in 2018. A representative for Carrey stated that the actor hoped to move forward with his life (via The Hollywood Reporter).
