Jim Carrey Could Face Trial in 2018 Over Cathriona White’s Death

Jim Carrey may be required to face a trial jury in the case of his late girlfriend Cathriona White’s death.

The then-30-year-old was found dead in her home in L.A back in September 2015. The case was ruled a suicide from an overdose.

Brigid Sweetman, Write’s mother, sued Carrey and blamed him for her death. She claimed he was the one who gave her the drugs that killed her.

She also alleged that the actor “knowingly gave her three sexually transmitted diseases without warning her,” and “lying to her about it, dumping her out of concern for saving his own public image, calling her a ‘whore’ and shaming her, and then using his high-priced Hollywood lawyers and ‘fixers’ to intimidate and threaten her in an effort to silence her.”
