The mother of Cathriona White, an make-up artist and Irish woman who died in 2015, is suing White’s ex-boyfriend Jim Carrey for her wrongful death.
Brigid Sweetman, Cathriona’s mother, has released a statement saying that “As a family, we want the world to know the truth about who Jim Carrey really is.”
Just one month ago, White’s estranged husband Mark Burton filed a similar suit.
The Tipperary woman died in 2015 as the result of an overdose and both Burton and Sweetman (who are both represented by one lawyer, Michael Avenatti) have claimed that the Liar Liar star supplied White with the prescription medication that killed her.
Sweetman released a statement on Wednesday that further claims “Jim Carrey and his attorney have told the world that Carrey has never had STDs and he has never tested positive for STDs. They have called me and Mark ‘shams’ for claiming otherwise.”
“I am demanding they immediately release the full 2013 lab results so people can judge for themselves who is telling the truth and who is lying.”
Sweetman has clarified that if Carrey releases the results of an STD test he took with White in 2013, then she will drop the claim and apologise, according to The Mirror.
“If they publicly release and publish the full Quest Diagnostics lab report for the blood sample Carrey gave on Jan. 28, 2013 at 11:40 a.m. under the name Jose Lopez and if it shows Carrey did not test positive for STDs, I will immediately dismiss the case and apologise.”
However, according The Mirror, Carrey’s lawyer has issued a stinging riposte, claiming that it is in fact White’s mother who did the more damage in the 30-year-old’s life.
“It is understandable that a mother who has lost a daughter will look for someone to blame.
“But in directing her grief and rage at Jim Carrey and joining this ridiculous lawyer’s attempt to capitalize on Cathriona’s suicide, Mrs. Sweetman is heading down the same dark path as Cathriona’s green-card “husband.”
“On her 30th birthday, just a few days before her suicide, Cathriona White was distraught having received a message from her mother through Facebook that was so destructive and demoralizing that she instantly deleted her Facebook account so her mother could no longer contact her.
“Cathriona often lamented about her contentious relationship with her mother, how she was forced to leave home at the age of 15, and how they had been estranged for years.”
