Mark Burton claims in his lawsuit against Jim Carrey that the actor “knowingly gave Cathriona White STDs, lied about the fact he’d given her the diseases and then broke up with her after she confronted him.”
Burton claims that Carrey sent texts asking White to sign a contract after the split, which was meant to ensure that she would not sue Carrey for allegedly infecting her with STDs.
The complaint also includes a letter that White wrote to Carrey in 2013 describing herself as 'damaged goods' after she learned she had contracted the diseases. White also writes that she has been made to feel 'disrespected, degraded, called a whore, an opportunist, threatened' and like an 'ungrateful b****.'
Burton claims that this traumatic episode played a part in triggering White's suicide. He also accuses Carrey of providing the prescription drugs White used to committed suicide in September 2015, despite knowing she was prone to depression.
Carrey issued a statement in which he said if Burton’s lawsuit, “Is this the way a ‘husband’ honors the memory of his ‘wife?’ The real disease here is greed, shameful greed!”
Carrey’s lawyer, Martin Singer, also responded to the allegations by saying, “The claim that Mr. Carrey gave Cathriona White an STD is categorically disputed. This is a desperate, bogus claim made by the ‘husband’ of the sham marriage.” He added, “My client will not pay money to end this opportunist’s transparent shakedown lawsuit, and this malicious case will be dismissed.”
Carrey denied he played any part in White’s tragic death. He released a statement saying, “It would be easy for me to get in a back room with this man’s lawyer and make this go away, but there are some moments in life when you have to stand up and defend your honor against the evil in this world. I will not tolerate this heartless attempt to exploit me or the woman I loved. Cat’s troubles were born long before I met her and sadly her tragic end was beyond anyone’s control. I really hope that someday soon people will stop trying to profit from this and let her rest in peace.”
